本文以鶯歌作為研究個案，探討以下幾個問題：實質空間的安排與佈署如何支持了地方文化產業的發展？什麼樣的論述與制度介入並主導了該空間的意義？不同社群如何在這個空間中進行互動？在分析了鶯歌陶瓷老街、鶯歌陶瓷博物館、文化路、以及鶯歌陶瓷嘉年華等四個象徵性的空間或事件之後，本文指出都市結構的變更、歷史與傳統的發明以及不同行動者的空間實踐，乃是打造「鶯歌陶瓷文化城」最主要的力量。陶瓷老街和陶瓷博物館相互呼應，生產出鶯歌的「過度傳統」，使得作為社會過程的文化得以被篩選與凝結，成為可被消費的商品。至於真正見證了鶯歌文化與產業變遷的文化路街區，反而被擠壓到擬仿陶瓷文化場域的邊緣，而陶瓷嘉年華則成了地方權力競合的場域。最後，本文提出了重新爭取文化詮釋主導權、重新連結文化與生活、重新組織政治聯盟等策略，作為鶯歌邁向另類發展形式的參考。

This essay aims to explore the following questions: How does the deployment of physical space support the development of local cultural industries? What discourses and institutions intervene and dominate the social meanings of this space? How do various social groups interact in this space? After taking a close look at four symbolic sites, namely, Yingge Ceramics Street, Yingge Ceramics Museum, Wenhua Road and Yingge Ceramics Carnival, this essay points out that the major causes shaping “Yingge Ceramics Culture” are the followings: the change of urban structure, the invention of history and tradition and the spatial practices of various social actors. Finally, in order to envision alternatives for Yingge’s local development, three strategies are proposed by this study, including regaining cultural hegemony, relinking culture and daily life and reforming political coalition.
