Paiwan wealth is examined through the idea of abduction of agency, as suggested by Gell (1998), to reveal how people associate with past interactions in perceiving both present and future social relations. Investigating the notion of Paiwan wealth provides a means by which Lévi-Strauss’ idea of the ‘house society’ is reconsidered. -

Music Culture and the Self-Presentation of Indigenous Musicians on Social Media in Contemporary Taiwan Guo-Ting Lin A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the University of Westminster for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy April 2021 Abstract The purpose of this research was to provide an indigenous perspective of popular culture in Taiwan as a means to re-examine Taiwanese contemporary identity. In-depth qualitative interviews and digital ethnography were adopted to collect data about indigenous musicians' self-presentation on social media. Being an indigenous musician in postmodern Taiwan is a highly contested phenomenon, as social media offers a double-edged sword requiring a conjunctional analysis that delves into both the past and the contemporary. This research unpacks the performance of contemporary indigenous musicians in the post-digital media age and offers five findings. Firstly, the indigenous musicians interviewed for the purpose of this research use social media to perform their indigenous identities to wider audiences, both indigenous and non- indigenous. Secondly, identity performances of indigenous musicians on social media are inspired by and reflect the richness and diversity of Taiwanese society. -

Author: Lo, Yung-Ching Title: Accessing indigenous land rights through claims in Taroko Area, Eastern Taiwan Issue Date: 2013-04-17 1 Introduction 1.1 Background to the indigenous peoples of Taiwan Taiwan is an area that hosted many colonial regimes for many centuries. The most significant political authorities in Taiwan can be divided into six distinct periods: the Dutch East India Company Period (1624-1661); the Koxinga Period (1661- 1683); the Qing Dynasty or Manchu Period (1683-1895); the Japanese Colonial Period (1895-1945); the Chinese Na- tionalist Period (1949-1996); and the current Independent or Democratic period (1996-present). Indigenous people have experienced many cultur- al, social, legal and economic encoun- ters. ‘Indigeniety’ has been contexted and contested under a range of differ- ent regimes of governance. In the early 17th century, Taiwan’s indigenous communities were divid- ed into the pingpu of the plains and the mountain aborigines. Gradually, most pingpu peoples encountered Han Chinese customs and religious beliefs and, consequently, their na- tive languages died out (Yang, Yan- jie 2000). As a result of this cultural assimilation, it is now hard to deter- mine how many pingpu tribes actu- ally settled on the plains of the island. In the Japanese period, the indige- nous peoples in the mountains were generally divided into nine major tribes, although many of these people Map 1.1 lived on the coastal plains and other Government-recognized Indigenous Peoples in Taiwan (2010) islands (Miyamoto 1985; Mori 1900, 13 Accessing indigenous land rights through claims in Taroko Area, Eastern Taiwan 1985 2000; Ogawa et al.
