  • Biblical Interpretation and TYCM Tribal Postcolonial Concerns Reading Genesis 2:4B~25 with TYCM Ordinary Tribal Readers
    A Convocation House (Prrngawan) Biblical Interpretation and TYCM Tribal Postcolonial Concerns Reading Genesis 2:4b~25 with TYCM Ordinary Tribal Readers By Walis C. Chang A Dissertation Submitted in Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Biblical Studies) School of Religion, Philosophy, and Classics University of KwaZulu-Natal Supervisor Prof Gerald West Pietermaritzburg 2012 Abstract The thesis is concerned about the postcolonial context of the minority tribal people, the Taiwan Yuen-Chu-Min (台灣原住民, TYCM), in Taiwan. The argument of this thesis includes two parts: Part one provides the background to develop the foundation for the contextualization of the TYCM tribal people’s colonized experience and postcolonial discourse in light of their contextual concerns－tribal mother tongue, tribal texts, and ordinary tribal people; Part two draws connections between these TYCM tribal people’s postcolonial concerns and biblical interpretation, which is called “TYCM Tribal Biblical Interpretation”, and practices reading Gen 2:4b-25 with the subaltern people, TYCM ordinary tribal people, through the Five Step Reading Process in a group collaborative effort with 14 tribal reading groups. The project of TYCM Tribal Biblical Interpretation, as practiced through the Five Step Reading Process, is committed to create decolonization strategies to connect with the colonized experience of tribal people to help them play their traditional role of the Prrngawan to facilitate ordinary tribal people to become the “real” and “flesh-and-blood” readers of their tribal texts and biblical texts through their mother-tongue to freely participate in constructing and in continuing to restore their tribal spirituality, worldviews, and appropriation readings to highlight de-colonized biblical readings in their struggles of their postcolonial context in present day Taiwan.

  • Silent Crusade?1 Indigenous Women in Taiwanese
    SILENT CRUSADE? 1 INDIGENOUS WOMEN IN TAIWANESE INDIGENOUS MOVEMENTS JOLAN HSIEH National Dong Hwa University (NDHU), Taiwan Among the various indigenous rights movements across different times in Taiwan, the presen- ce of indigenous women often goes obscure. Although in recent years there has been a great deal of publications on Taiwanese indigenous movements, some of the literature —constructed under the structure of the indigenous knowledge system—, while insisting on the status and value of indigenous autonomy, tend to overlook the historical context in Taiwanese society of indigenous women who participated in social movements. What are the issues of concern? This paper primarily serves to reveal the “silent crusades” and to bring forward the directions of interests of the indigenous women’s movements by analyzing related reports, autobiographies, interview transcripts, texts, etc. spanning over two decades and published in the weekly news- paper of the Presbyterian Church in Taiwan (PCT), Taiwan Church News , in addition to in- depth interviews with the leaders of indigenous women’s social movements. KEY WORDS : indigenous peoples, social movement, collective rights, justice. Cruzada silenciosa? Las mujeres indígenas en los movimientos indígenas taiwaneses Las mujeres indígenas suelen pasar inadvertidas en los diversos movimientos que, a lo largo de los años, reivindican los derechos indígenas en Taiwan. A pesar de que en los últimos años ha habido una gran cantidad de publicaciones sobre los movimientos indígenas en Taiwan, parte de este corpus —construido bajo la estructura del sistema de conocimiento indígena— al insis- tir en el estatus y el valor de la autonomía indígena tiende a pasar por alto el contexto histórico dentro de la sociedad taiwanesa de las mujeres indígenas que participaron en los movimientos sociales.

Základní charakteristika teritoria, ekonomický přehled Oproti roku 2018 pocítil tchajwanský hospodářský růst v loňském roce mírný pokles, jenž se dostal na 2,71% úroveň. Faktorů bylo hned několik, nicméně hlavními důvody byla fluktuace trhů s cizími měnami, pokračující obchodní spor mezi USA a Čínou, antidumpingová cla apod., což přispělo k celkové globální nejistotě a snížení hospodářského růstu. Nezaměstnanost se v loňském roce pohybovala okolo 3,7 % a inflace se držela na 0,56% úrovni.HDP na obyvatele se vystouplalo na 25 900 USD. Zahraniční rezervy Tchaj-wanu představovaly 478 mld. USD. Běžný účet platební bilance země je dlouhodobě přebytkový. Co se týče obchodních statistik, hodnota tchajwanského vývozu v roce 2019 mírně klesla na 329 mld. USD. Dovoz se v porovnání s předchozím rokem mírně zvýšil a ke konci roku činil 285 mld. USD. Tchajwanský zahraniční obchod v roce 2019 klesl o 0,6 % na celkovou hodnotu 614 mld. USD.

  • And the Enduring Legacy of Late President Lee Teng-Hui
    December 14, 2020 The future of ‘Ghost Island’ and the enduring legacy of late President Lee Teng-hui Edition 5, 2021 Dr Roger Lee Huang DOI: 10.37839/MAR2652-550X5.6 In one of Taiwan’s most popular songs of this year, Ghost Island (鬼島), alongside Taiwanese rapper Dwagie, Malaysian singer-songwriter Namewee satirises the excesses of ‘democracy and human rights’ as ‘gross impropriety,’ welcoming listeners to a land where freedom of speech is ‘blasphemy to the leaders.’ The song plays on the endearing yet self-depreciating slang for Taiwan, ‘Ghost Island’, which adeptly captures its wonderful contradictions: rowdy and confident which regularly punches above its weight internationally in the face of hostility from People’s Republic of China (PRC, China), while consistently dejected for its exclusion from the international community. The song exudes pride in Taiwan’s uniquely ‘chaotic’ democracy, but implicit is a sense of both despair and fear of an aggressively nationalistic China. What Taiwan’s democracy means today is deeply connected to the actions of the late President Lee Teng-hui, who died on July 30, 2020. As both the first Taiwanese president of the Republic of China (ROC, Taiwan), and the first president to be directly elected via universal suffrage, Lee was instrumental in leading Taiwan to a peaceful democratic transition. Under his presidency, open discussions about Taiwanese identity, and the island’s complicated relationship with China became possible. 1 December 14, 2020 In 1998, during a campaign speech in support of Ma Ying-jeou’s Taipei mayoral campaign, President Lee publicly spoke of the New‘ Taiwanese’ an idea rooted in civic-nationalist terms and deeply embedded as an essential part of Taiwanese democracy.
