Like a characteristic of area studies where the “object” of analysis was unstable as “Taiwan,” the thesis intersects with a range of scholarly fields: Taiwan Studies, Chinese Studies, history, life-writing, political sociology, sociology of education. The thesis uses Lin’s story as a touchstone to tell the complexity of Taiwan’s story. Lin Hsien-tang (1881-1956) was a socially responsible Taiwanese elite whose life traversed the Qing, Japanese and then Nationalist rule. The thesis highlights Lin’s story through specific events in his life to illuminate Taiwan’s changing circumstances across different periods. The thesis offered a detailed examination of Lin’s politico-social and cultural life in a chronological order. Each chapter was fundamentally important in representing Lin’s personal development across different periods of his life as well as Taiwan’s story during these different authorities. Grounding on Lin Hsien-tang and Taiwan’s stories, Michel De Certeau’s notions of “strategy of domination” and “tactics of resistance” are introduced to offer an analytical mechanism to map out the conflicts, tension and cooperation between ethnicities, governments, countries, ideologies, and generations. It attempts to be attentive to Lin’s political, social and cultural experience, and then to explore the evolving issues from which knowledge about Lin Hsien-tang and the broader of Taiwan has been produced. vi Chapter 1 Lin Hsien-tang’s Family Background Introduction In 2016, a series of celebrations titled “Jinian Taiwan yihui zhi fu Lin Xiantang xiansheng 135 zhounian danchen (Commemoration of the 135th Anniversary of the Birth of Lin Hsien- tang, the father of Taiwanese Parliament)” were held in Taichung to commemorate the cultural and political legacy of Lin Hsien-tang.1 The events highlighted the enduring legacy of Lin Hsien-tang in Taiwan’s political and civic life. Activities included a music concert, calligraphy contest, drawing contest at the Lin Garden (Lai Yuan, 萊園),2 and public lectures given by 1 “Jinian Taiwan yihui zhi fu Lin Xiantang xiansheng 135 zhounian danchen—huodong huaxu (Commemoration of the 135th Anniversary of the Birth of Lin Hsien-tang, the Father of Taiwanese Parliament—Events Highlights),” Mingtai High School, accessed May 25, 2018, http://www.mths.tc.edu.tw/activity/135ann_lin/index07.html. 2 Lai Yuan is the family garden of the Lins in Wufeng. It has been a national-designated historical site since 1985. The Lai Yuan is a traditional Chinese-style garden in the central Taiwanese town of Wufeng that was the centre of the Lin family’s power. Lai was chosen as the name of the garden in the 19th century in reference to a traditional figure in Chinese classical literature named Lai Zi. The figure of Lai is characterised as paragon of filial piety of his act of dressing in child’s clothes at the age of 70 in order to entertain his parents. “Guanyu Wufeng Lin jia (About the Wufeng Lin Family),” Wufeng Lins, accessed August 14, 2018, http://wufenglins.com.tw/%E9%97%9C%E6%96%BC%E9%9C%A7%E5%B3%B0%E6%9 E%97%E5%AE%B6. 1 several Taiwanese scholars. Lin Hsien-tang was an important heir to the Lin family in Wufeng from central Taiwan. He was a landowner, reformer, activist and moderniser who lived from 1881 to 1956. He was one of Taiwan’s most significant civic leaders and his life traversed Taiwan’s late Qing imperial period, Japanese colonization and the early Nationalist period. The purpose of the thesis is to examine Lin Hsien-tang’s life story against the backdrop of Taiwan’s changing political and cultural circumstances in the transition from Qing to Japanese to Nationalist rule. The thesis tells the story of Lin and places his life in the context of the history of a modernising Taiwan. Tracking through specific cultural and political events in Lin’s life, the thesis describes how Lin Hsien-tang, a leading Taiwanese citizen, undertook a series of campaigns for colonial educational reform, for a Taiwanese parliament, and for classical Chinese education in Taiwan. In these ways, he developed and leveraged socio- political and cultural capital to co-opt, negotiate and resist the forces of power, including colonial power, that shaped Taiwan over his life-time. Lin Hsien-tang’s life story therefore illuminates Taiwan’s modern history, with the different periods of his life expressing changing political and cultural circumstances in the transition from Qing to Japanese to Nationalist rule. However, describing this is a challenging undertaking. The subject of Taiwan as it is an unstable signifier, with a deeply contested meaning on the geopolitical fault lines of the Chinese, western and Japanese worlds. Taiwan is a post-colonial society, shaped by the legacy of Japanese colonial rule. It is also a self- governing democracy with all of the appearances of a nation-state in the international system, however it is not recognised as such by the international community. It is nominally the Republic of China, and it is claimed as a part of the territory of People’s Republic of China, For these reasons, using the story of Lin to understand the modern history of Taiwan is a distinctive scholarly strategy. It is tracing a line through the Taiwanese story, in which Lin’s 2 life functions like a social object, and from which can be read narratives of Taiwan’s history. Taken as a “stable” reference point to produce knowledge about Taiwan, Lin’s story is used to bring structure and analytical force to periods and a place for which the scholarly boundaries and problematics continue to be open-ended. In using the story of Lin Hsien-tang to untangle the complex story of Taiwan, the thesis touches on a range of topics. These include Taiwan as a frontier society, social class and the elite life of Taiwan’s landowners, Japanese colonial strategies of domination and Taiwanese everyday resistance, generational change among Taiwanese literati, cultural capital and China’s imperial legacy on Taiwan, the experiences of the Taiwanese during the transitional period after the relocation of Kuomintang (KMT), and so on. Lin’s life illustrates these themes and more in particular ways as his story offers a distinctive pathway through the modern Taiwanese experience.

  • Whose History and by Whom: an Analysis of the History of Taiwan In
    WHOSE HISTORY AND BY WHOM: AN ANALYSIS OF THE HISTORY OF TAIWAN IN CHILDREN’S LITERATURE PUBLISHED IN THE POSTWAR ERA by LIN-MIAO LU (Under the Direction of Joel Taxel) ABSTRACT Guided by the tenet of sociology of school knowledge, this study examines 38 Taiwanese children’s trade books that share an overarching theme of the history of Taiwan published after World War II to uncover whether the seemingly innocent texts for children convey particular messages, perspectives, and ideologies selected, preserved, and perpetuated by particular groups of people at specific historical time periods. By adopting the concept of selective tradition and theories of ideology and hegemony along with the analytic strategies of constant comparative analysis and iconography, the written texts and visual images of the children’s literature are relationally analyzed to determine what aspects of the history and whose ideologies and perspectives were selected (or neglected) and distributed in the literary format. Central to this analysis is the investigation and analysis of the interrelations between literary content and the issue of power. Closely related to the discussion of ideological peculiarities, historians’ research on the development of Taiwanese historiography also is considered in order to examine and analyze whether the literary products fall into two paradigms: the Chinese-centric paradigm (Chinese-centricism) and the Taiwanese-centric paradigm (Taiwanese-centricism). Analysis suggests a power-and-knowledge nexus that reflects contemporary ruling groups’ control in the domain of children’s narratives in which subordinate groups’ perspectives are minimalized, whereas powerful groups’ assumptions and beliefs prevail and are perpetuated as legitimized knowledge in society.

    HISTORY OF CHINA AND JAPAN FROM 1900TO 1976 A.D 18BHI63C (UNIT II) V.VIJAYAKUMAR 9025570709 III B A HISTORY - VI SEMESTER Yuan Shikai Yuan Shikai (Chinese: 袁世凱; pinyin: Yuán Shìkǎi; 16 September 1859 – 6 June 1916) was a Chinese military and government official who rose to power during the late Qing dynasty, becoming the Emperor of the Empire of China (1915–1916). He tried to save the dynasty with a number of modernization projects including bureaucratic, fiscal, judicial, educational, and other reforms, despite playing a key part in the failure of the Hundred Days' Reform. He established the first modern army and a more efficient provincial government in North China in the last years of the Qing dynasty before the abdication of the Xuantong Emperor, the last monarch of the Qing dynasty, in 1912. Through negotiation, he became the first President of the Republic of China in 1912.[1] This army and bureaucratic control were the foundation of his autocratic. He was frustrated in a short-lived attempt to restore hereditary monarchy in China, with himself as the Hongxian Emperor (Chinese: 洪憲皇帝). His death shortly after his abdication led to the fragmentation of the Chinese political system and the end of the Beiyang government as China's central authority. On 16 September 1859, Yuan was born as Yuan Shikai in the village of Zhangying (張營村), Xiangcheng County, Chenzhou Prefecture, Henan, China. The Yuan clan later moved 16 kilometers southeast of Xiangcheng to a hilly area that was easier to defend against bandits. There the Yuans had built a fortified village, Yuanzhaicun (Chinese: 袁寨村; lit.

  • The Politics of Photographic Representation in Postsocialist China
    Staging the Future: The Politics of Photographic Representation in Postsocialist China by James David Poborsa A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of East Asian Studies University of Toronto © Copyright by James David Poborsa 2018 Staging the Future - The Politics of Photographic Representation in Postsocialist China James David Poborsa Doctor of Philosophy Department of East Asian Studies University of Toronto 2018 Abstract This dissertation examines the changing nature of photographic representation in China from 1976 until the late 1990s, and argues that photography and photo criticism self-reflexively embodied the cultural politics of social and political liberalisation during this seminal period in Chinese history. Through a detailed examination of debates surrounding the limits of representation and intellectual liberalisation, this dissertation explores the history of social documentary, realist, and conceptual photography as a form of social critique. As a contribution to scholarly appraisals of the cultural politics of contemporary China, this dissertation aims to shed insight into the fraught and often contested politics of visuality which has characterized the evolution of photographic representation in the post-Mao period. The first chapter examines the politics of photographic representation in China from 1976 until 1982, and explores the politicisation of documentary realism as a means of promoting modernisation and reform. Chapter two traces the internationalisation
