| Popis: | 93 In daily life, there exist a plenty of power connections, life routines, and interaction between telecasting media and ordinary life. Among them, the cruising festival of the Goddess Mazu comes to surface as a prime example which brings impacts on the public life and influences the public recognition of religious activities. The thesis starts from here and wishes to investigate the relationship among telecasting media, the cruising festival of the Goddess Mazu, its believers and general public. The major argument is divided into four parts: According to the related research and this study, telecasting media no longer play a minor role in the cruising festival. It takes up as one ingredient of the religious activity. In other words, it becomes a subject in itself. The cruising festival and the telecasting media work together to form a new class in the power domain. Administrative body behind the Festival, the joss house for the Goddess Mazu, adopts the media as its biggest weapon to rule out any possible competition while systematizing the whole cruising process. The telecasting media draw people to the Festival, both physically, televisually, and conceptually. The production process and the images created by the media have an appealing effect to the public. Although the telecasting media designate a way of approaching the Festival for the public, the believers and general public in turn restructure their relationship with the Festival. Their body performance thus becomes a sight during the Festival and engages the Festival even more actively. |
