  • Tongue-Tied Taiwan: Linguistic Diversity and Imagined Identities at the Crossroads of Colonial East Asia
    Tongue-Tied Taiwan: Linguistic Diversity and Imagined Identities at the Crossroads of Colonial East Asia Yu-Chen Eathan Lai This thesis has been submitted on this day of April 15, 2018 in partial fulfillment of the degree requirements for the NYU Global Liberal Studies Bachelor of Arts degree. 1 Yu-Chen Eathan Lai, “Tongue-Tied Taiwan: Linguistic Diversity and Imagined Identities at the Crossroads of Colonial East Asia,” Undergraduate Thesis, New York University, 2018. A history of repeated colonization and foreign occupation created in Taiwan a severe language gap spanning three generations, and left its people in an anxious search for the island’s “linguistic” and “national” identity. Taiwanese speakers of indigenous Austronesian languages and Chinese dialects such as Hokkien and Hakka have historically endured the imposition of two different national languages: Japanese since 1895 and Mandarin since 1945. In this project, I draw on anthropological perspectives and media analysis to understand the ideologies and symbols vested upon different languages and codes that still circulate within different media today. My research primarily investigates an autoethnographic report on a family history, several museum and gallery exhibits, as well as two different documentaries, all centered on Hokkien speakers in Taiwan. I argue that a future generation’s narrative construction of an authentic Taiwanese identity must be rooted in the island’s past and present reality of linguistic and cultural diversity.

  • MEDIA RELEASE Asian Civilisations Museum Receives S$5 Million Gift
    MEDIA RELEASE Asian Civilisations Museum Receives S$5 million Gift For Expansion Of Its China Gallery Donation from Hong Leong Foundation is the single largest cash donation that the museum has received to date [7 April 2009, SINGAPORE] Chinese culture will get a significant boost with the planned expansion of the Asian Civilisations Museum’s China Gallery. The museum has received a $5 million gift from Hong Leong Foundation for the project – the largest cash donation made to the museum to date. The donation will cover part of the cost of the expansion of the museum’s Chinese gallery and acquisition of artefacts for the collection. “We are truly delighted with this generous donation from Hong Leong Foundation,” said Dr Kenson Kwok, Director of the Asian Civilisations Museum. “While there is currently an embargo on building projects under the government agencies, with this donation will enable us to start on design work and costing studies. This is the single largest cash donation to the ACM to date.” This donation marks the second time that Hong Leong Foundation has given to the ACM. In 2001, Hong Leong Foundation gave S$2.8 million for the establishment of the ACM’s China gallery, which is named after Hong Leong Group’s founder, the late Mr Kwek Hong Png. “In a challenging economic climate, donations play an even greater role in helping to further the arts,” said Dr Kwok. “While some may feel the arts should take a back seat to the economy right now, we believe that it is through the arts and culture that people can gain inspiration and encouragement in bleak times.” This second donation of S$5 million in funds is part of Hong Leong Foundation’s ongoing efforts to promote the understanding and appreciation of Chinese art and culture.

Groundwater recharge potential may be adversely affected when natural soil is replaced by impervious materials. To systematically identify the urban agglomeration ecological risk (UAER) of RTD in the southern Fujian Golden Triangle, water regulation was used as an assessment endpoint, and RTD was considered the stressor. We used the Soil Conservation Service Curve Number method (SCS-CN) to analyze the internal relationship between the assessment endpoint and the stressor factors. Then, a multi-level risk characterization method was used to show the evolutionary process of risk, and to provide a scientific basis for the management of UAER. Based on the current RTD plan, the UAER assessment shows that there is a 0.90 probability of that the risk distribution results will occur by 2030. The intensity of stress from arterial roads on the urban agglomeration ecosystem is greater than that of the railway system.

Hinton, Chair This dissertation investigates the language and linguistic behavior of the Kelantan Peranakan Chinese society, a group who have assimilated extensively to the Kelantan rural Malays, and to some extent to the Kelantan Thai society as well, culturally and linguistically. An attempt is made in this work to incorporate historical, linguistic, and social anthropological materials within a single study so as to strike a better balance between linguistic and social analyses in sociolinguistics. The major findings of this dissertation are reported in chapters II through IV. Chapter II focuses primarily on the ethnic formation, identity, and culture of these Peranakan Chinese.

Trade brought regional centrality to the city as different ethnic groups brought with them their trading networks. As they lived side by side, the city became a site of transactions between them. Trade may have been the basis for their interface but it was a common English education and civil activities that gave rise to inter-cultural activities. This paper begins with a brief description of George Town’s development as a regional hub for educa- tion, culture and politics. Taking one example of a Penang Straits Chinese family, particularly one branch of the Penang Lim family, this paper is an attempt to describe how the “interface” of cultures produces exceptionalism. Whilst Lim Cheng Ean was already a cultural hybrid, the son of an immi- grant Chinese father and a local-born nyonya mother, he was exposed to British colonial culture through English education. His marriage to the British Guyanese-born Roslind Hoalim created a home environment that was truly distinct in colonial George Town.
