  • Making Southeast Asian Migrant Workers Visible in Taiwanese Cinema: Pinoy Sunday and Ye-Zai
    Making Southeast Asian Migrant Workers Visible in Taiwanese Cinema: Pinoy Sunday and Ye-Zai Tzu-Chin Insky Chen, University of California, Los Angeles Chen, Tzu-Chin Insky. 2019. “Making Southeast Asian Migrant Workers Visible in Taiwanese Cinema: Pinoy Sunday and Ye-Zai.” Cross-Currents: East Asian History and Culture Review 33: 185–210. https://cross-currents.berkeley.edu/e-journal/issue-33/chen. Abstract In Taiwan, the term for “migrant workers” (waiji yigong) refers to non-Han immigrant populations—including those from Thailand and the Philippines—whose numbers have been increasing since the 2000s. As these PoPulations have grown, they have become Part of the Public conversation, and cinematic representations of migrant workers have increased as well. Immigrant films function as a form of recognition and thereby challenge the homogeneous Taiwanese national identity. Two questions arise: Is it possible to change existing stereotypes and cultural conflicts? And, how can we avoid a crisis of oversimPlified Presentations of immigrants? In order to address these questions, this article examines two films: Ho Wi Ding’s Pinoy Sunday (Taibei Xingqitian 台北星期 天 2009), a comedy that focuses on two FiliPino immigrant workers’ lives in TaiPei, and Tseng Ying-ting’s Ye-Zai 椰仔 (2012), a crime film with a Plot that involves tracking down “runaway migrant workers” (taopao wailao).The author employs three different lenses or paradigms to consider the establishment of migrant-worker subjects in these films in order to fully understand the Power dynamics at Play in the workers’ interactions with Taiwan’s broader society. Because of state and social attempts to control these migrant workers, the first imPortant Paradigm is the act of “running away,” which makes border restrictions in Taiwan clear and creates a space to explore strategies of escape from routine lives.

  • The Cold War and Beyond
    Contents Puge FOREWORD ...................... u 1947-56 ......................... 1 1957-66 ........................ 19 1967-76 ........................ 45 1977-86 ........................ 81 1987-97 ........................ 117 iii Foreword This chronology commemorates the golden anniversary of the establishment of the United States Air Force (USAF) as an independent service. Dedicated to the men and women of the USAF past, present, and future, it records significant events and achievements from 18 September 1947 through 9 April 1997. Since its establishment, the USAF has played a significant role in the events that have shaped modem history. Initially, the reassuring drone of USAF transports announced the aerial lifeline that broke the Berlin blockade, the Cold War’s first test of wills. In the tense decades that followed, the USAF deployed a strategic force of nuclear- capable intercontinental bombers and missiles that deterred open armed conflict between the United States and the Soviet Union. During the Cold War’s deadly flash points, USAF jets roared through the skies of Korea and Southeast Asia, wresting air superiority from their communist opponents and bringing air power to the support of friendly ground forces. In the great global competition for the hearts and minds of the Third World, hundreds of USAF humanitarian missions relieved victims of war, famine, and natural disaster. The Air Force performed similar disaster relief services on the home front. Over Grenada, Panama, and Libya, the USAF participated in key contingency actions that presaged post-Cold War operations. In the aftermath of the Cold War the USAF became deeply involved in constructing a new world order. As the Soviet Union disintegrated, USAF flights succored the populations of the newly independent states.

  • Politics of Performance in Modern Taiwanese Theatre
    The Pennsylvania State University The Graduate School College of the Liberal Arts INTERCULTURAL BODIES: POLITICS OF PERFORMANCE IN MODERN TAIWANESE THEATRE A Dissertation in Comparative Literature and Asian Studies by Wei-Chih Wang © 2016 Wei-Chih Wang Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy August 2016 ii The dissertation of Wei-Chih Wang was reviewed and approved* by the following: Charlotte D. Eubanks Associate Professor of Comparative Literature Director of Graduate Studies Dissertation Advisor Chair of Committee Shuang Shen Associate Professor of Comparative Literature Jonathan Abel Associate Professor of Comparative Literature On-Cho Ng Professor of History Head of Asian Studies Sarah J. Townsend Assistant Professor of Spanish, Italian, and Portuguese *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School. iii Abstract The nature of the historical relationship between aesthetics and politics in modern Taiwanese theatre, especially after the lifting of martial law (1949–1987), remains a highly contested issue. At the same time, searching for a new Taiwanese body continues to be a major direction of theatrical experiments and is under-theorized. In regard to historical surveys, Taiwanese scholars such as Chung Ming-Der, Ma Sen, Lin He-Yi, and Chi Wei-Jan have published considerable work on the development of modern Taiwanese theatre. Shih Wan-Shun, Wang Li-Wen, Chang Ivy I Chu, Liang Pei-Lin, Cheng Fan-Ting, and Wu Chen-Tse have all, in their theses and dissertations, attended to questions of thematics and theatrics in modern Taiwanese practice. However, so far, few works have examined the tension between the historical continuum of political oppression and the immediacy of theatrical performance.
