- Abstract
When UNESCO officially recognized Traditional Craftsmanship as one of five domains in Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage, Taiwan's bamboo craft had also been rapidly drifting away from the folk life. Dubbed as "lumber for the poor/' bamboo is a local material readily available everywhere in Taiwan, and has been put to extensive use by all ethnic groups. However, just as Laurajane Smith states in her definition of "cultural heritage" (2006), the techniques and products of bamboo craft was not considered traditional craft until after a continuously changing process. The Taiwanese perception of bamboo craft, that evolves from a craft for livelihood, industrial merchandise to traditional craft, exactly reflects the overlapping and misplaced positions of producers and consumers in the global chain of production. It also affects the tug of war between protection measures and the heritagized cultural practices. This study uses literature review, visual image analysis and field research data (mainly collected between May and November, 2019) to explore the following issues; the industrialization of bamboo craft during the Japanese colonial era, bamboo craft that went through the period of US-funded product development in the post-World War II years, and the post-industrial transformation of bamboo craft and industry that both intertwine and diverge in the heritagization process. Furthermore, this research intends to clarify the subjects, aims and impacts of "culture" that is so often taken for granted as the discursive axis of the heritagization process, particularly its relationship with practices of intangible cultural heritage protection. Ihe purpose is to shed new lights on the contemporary context and common issues of Taiwanese crafts.
