In this paper, I work with archival materials, interviews, and ethnographic material from urban Indigenous communities in Taiwan to trace continuities and shifts in the ways that Indigenous musical practices have been configured by settler discourses of civility and multiculturalism. Indigenous communities formed in Taipei as construction and factory jobs beckoned Indigenous youth toward the city during the 1970s – 1980s. Settler depictions of life in these urban communities often focused on spaces of informal musical performance, hearing these spaces as signs of social breakdown and maladjustment. Although depictions of Indigenous sociality as a threat to urban civility continue to circulate in Taiwan today, multicultural discourses have reconfigured settler auralities; ironically, urban planners working with urban Indigenous communities in the 2000s heard spaces of Indigenous sociality as offering a salve for urban deracination and anomie. Spaces of indigenous sociality were thus not just necessary features of rebuilt urban Indigenous communities but could also reinvigorate Taipei’s settler population. Nonetheless, this shift in how some settler auralities configure subjects of remediation leaves core elements of a previous aurality intact. In order to understand these shifts, I argue that we need to consider how auralities configure particular subjects of remediation. Although many recent approaches to settler auralities tend to frame them in terms of a singular settler "hunger" related to extractive economies, attention to how settler auralities have been reconfigured in terms of their subjects of remediation suggests that we rethink aurality beyond historical and ethnic binaries often employed to understand settler multiculturalism.
