| Popis: | 104 With the fervency created by the youths across Taiwan participating in community publications, all kinds of community publications are available everywhere in Taiwan from Keelung, the northernmost city in Taiwan, to Pingtung, the southernmost county in Taiwan and in all offshore islands. Actually, community publications and community newspapers were extremely popular in the 1970s and in the 1990s, respectively. However, the author has noted that community newspapers in the early days were supported by the government in an attempt to strengthen the government’s legitimacy and to promote ideology such as nationalism whereas today’s community publications stress “elective affinity” at the time that the youth labor market continues to deteriorate. With the Elective Affinity as a starting point, the author has conversed with governmentality using in-depth interviews and focus-group interviews with emphasis on the self-exploiting attribute of cultural work alleged by governmentality, attempting to find out how youths perceive their endeavors at the time that community publications are construed as a cultural work. The author has found that the deterioration of youth labor market has caused many youth labors to shy away from the labor system dominated by capitalism. Yet, the deterioration of labor market alone could not explain why youths are shying away from labor market. Actually, peer network, government policies, and youths’assets are the real reasons for the youth workers to shy away from labor market. Moreover, the author has noted that community publication workers do not actually act as the objects of disciplines and self-exploitation as alleged by governmentality. The selfactualization fulfilled by workers’endeavors not only proves the creativity and potentials exhibited by the workers, but also reveals the fruits acquired from their endeavors that have caused many people and things to change for the better. Lastly, in addition to the affections for and identity with local community,“the feedback of local”plays an important role that has motivated and inspired youth workers to continue their endeavors for the benefits of community publications. |
