書法是我國文化當中極具表徵性的一個傳統，它同時兼具著實用性與藝術性的本質與特色。隨著現代社會書寫方式與型態的多元化，書法的普及性、實用性機能逐漸衰退、弱化之際，在常民生活當中，它實際存在的樣態、內容以及所具有的功能與意義，藉著社區大學書法班的基層性、一般性、生活性特色，以及學員在參與和角色上的方便性、多元性，似乎反而更能夠凸顯出書法在現階段社會中的文化意涵。 本論文針對雲林社區大學各教學中心的承辦人員、講師、學員以及教學場域等類項，採用參與觀察、深度訪談、問卷調查等方法，從文化研究的角度來分析、探討書法在教與學的操作與過程當中，所展現、內含及賦予的各種價值與意義，以作為書法教學、推廣、發展之參考。 論文第一章為緒論，第二章探討社區大學的背景與發展，第三章為雲林縣社區大學書法教學的脈絡分析與研究，第四章則為社區大學書法教學過程當中的各種現象及其詮釋，透過深度訪談及問卷分析，以民族誌的方法描述、探討其中所存在及呈現的現象內容與操作機制，並進一步解讀其中所具有的文化意涵。第五章結論，是本研究的總結，但也是後續研究的另一個開始。 Chinese calligraphy is a highly representative tradition in Chinese culture with features of practicability and artistry.
