地域社會中的文化運動：霧峰一新會讀書會個案分析(1934-1936)

本文利用林獻堂《灌園先生日記》、霧峰一新會讀書會紀錄及現有研究成果，藉由一新會讀書會的個案，看霧峰地域社會的文化運動，分析一新會讀書會作為菁英社群在文化啟蒙中所扮演的角色，整理該讀書會的成員及研討議題，藉此呈現出1930年代霧峰地區豐沛的文化活力，並反映當時台灣知識分子身處日華、中西、新舊文化多元來源交融的情境。從地域社會來看，林家以霧峰為舞台，基於其在當地深厚的政治經濟勢力與社會關係，在文化活動中創造家族與社會的未來願景；一新會讀書會既是林家的文化活動，也是霧峰人士的聚會，這些活動呈現了人與土地親密的物質與精神聯結。從文化運動來看，一新會讀書會是1920年代以來台灣社會運動的延續及反省的結果，從全島走回地域，有1920年代社會運動的經驗，也納入從歐美汲取的文化理想，包括向內自我建構的自治主義及文化啟蒙，希望從地域著手建設而普及於全臺，最終建立新的台灣文化。
