  • Perspectives on Taiwanese Identity in the Art of Chen Chieh-Jen and Wu Tien-Chang
    Naomi Kojen Research Intern National Chiao Tung University Supervisor: Joyce C.H. Liu Translating Collective Memory: Perspectives on Taiwanese identity in the art of Chen Chieh-jen and Wu Tien-chang This paper will address the phenomenon of artistic engagement with history, past and collective memory in Taiwanese contemporary art as a means of dealing with the question of Taiwanese identity. Even though this is a recurring strategy in the works of many artists, in this preliminary research I intend to focus on two prominent figures in Taiwanese contemporary art, Chen Chieh-jen (陈界仁) and Wu Tien-chang (呉天 章). The two artists selected have had long careers and evolved in terms of style, medium and aesthetics. Nevertheless, they are consistent in their engagement with the past, history and memory and the continuing discussion on issues of identity. While this paper is unable to fully represent the multifaceted identity of the Taiwanese artists, it aims to unravel the ways in which some key issues concerning Taiwanese identity are translated through these two rich artistic perspectives. Over the past fifty years, history and memory have gained traction in academic discourse, and concepts of collective, social and cultural memory have become central in both sociology and cultural history. The concept of collective memory was initially introduced by sociologist Maurice Halbwachs. Halbwachs introduced the idea that memory is a social structure, something which is acquired, recalled, recognized and localized in society. The framework of collective memory or social memory is therefore a result, sum and combination of individual members or multiple members of a society (Halbwachs,1992:38-39).

  • The Republic of China and U Black Cat Brigade
    21 March 2011 2012011111––––006006 Black Cat Brigade: The Republic of China and UU----22 Spyplanes. Essay by JiuJiuJiu-Jiu ---HwaHwa Lo Upshur, Eastern Michigan University (([email protected]@[email protected]).edu ).).). Nations have spied on one another since the beginning of history, only the methods have changed, in part due to advances in technology. Aerial spying began with the deployment of balloons during the Franco- Prussian War (1870–71) and had progressed to satellite surveillance a mere century later. Much is known about the role of American U-2 surveillance planes and the information they obtained about Soviet bloc countries during the 1950s. However, less is known about the U-2 flights by the air force pilots of the Republic of China (henceforth ROC or Taiwan) and the data they obtained about the People’s Republic of China (henceforth PRC or China). The top secret collaboration between the United States and the ROC remained closely guarded until around 1990, after which the nature, duration, and extent of their cooperation gradually became known. Three recent books, one in English and two in Chinese, provide ex- tensive, hitherto unavailable details about the ROC’s U-2 missions and the pilots who flew them. Lost Black Cats: 1 Story of Two Captured U-2 Pilots 2 was written by H. Mike Hua, himself a former U-2 pi- lot who completed ten reconnaissance missions over mainland China. He later rose to the rank of lieute- nant general in the ROC Air Force, earned a doctorate at Purdue University, and worked in aircraft development after retiring from active service.

    Remote Controlled Restraint The Effect of Remote Warfighting Technology on Crisis Escalation Erik Lin-Greenberg Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2019 © 2019 Erik Lin-Greenberg All rights reserved ABSTRACT Remote Controlled Restraint: The Effect of Remote Warfighting Technology on Crisis Escalation Erik Lin-Greenberg How do technologies that remove warfighters from the front lines affect the frequency and intensity of military confrontations between states? Many scholars and policymakers fear that weapons that reduce the risks and costs of war – in blood and treasure – will lead states to resort to force more frequently during crises, destabilizing the international security environment. These concerns have featured prominently in debates surrounding the proliferation and use of remote warfighting technologies, such as drones. This project sets out to evaluate whether and how drones affect crisis escalation. Specifically, do drones allow decisionmakers to deploy military forces more frequently during interstate crises? Once deployed, how do these systems affect escalation dynamics? I argue that drones can help control escalation, raising questions about scholarly theories that suggest the world is more dangerous and less stable when technology makes conflict cheaper and less risky. At the core of this project is a theory of technology-enabled escalation control. The central argument is that technologies like drones that remove friendly forces from the battlefield may lead states to use force more frequently, but decrease the likelihood of escalation when used in lieu of inhabited platforms. More specifically, these technologies lower the political barriers to initiating military operations during crises, primarily by eliminating the risk of friendly force casualties and the associated domestic political consequences for launching military operations.
