  • Island of Memories Postcolonial Historiography and Public Discourse in Contemporary Taiwan
    Island of Memories Postcolonial Historiography and Public Discourse in Contemporary Taiwan Lung-chih Chang HCM ２ (３): ２２９–２４４ DOI: １０.１５５７/HCM２０１４.３.CHAN Abstract The re-discovery of Taiwanese history along with both official and local initiatives of cultural heritage and public commemorations constitutes an important postcolonial cultural phenomenon. This paper discusses the “memory boom” in post-martial law Taiwan and examines its implications in our understanding of history, culture, and modernity in East Asian context. The major arguments of this paper can be summarised in three parts. The first section introduces the emergence of new academic and public discourses in Taiwan in the post-martial law era. The second and main section offers four major examples of postcolonial historiography and public discourse including national commemoration, ethnic revival, the heritage movement and Taiwa- nese wartime experience. The final section further illustrates the features of Taiwan’s postcolonial historiography in terms of history and memory with topical discussions on the rethinking of the modernity question and the reinterpretation of Japanese colonial heritage. Keywords: Taiwanese historiography, public history, memory, heritage, identity Introduction For a first-time visitor to Taiwan, an alternative to the must-see Taipei 101 tower or the trendy National Palace Museum is the nostalgic 228 Peace Memorial Park. The park is located in downtown Taipei right beside the ROC presidential palace, formerly the Japanese Taiwan Government-Gen- eral Building. Founded as Taipei New Park in 1908 by the Japanese, the park was renamed as 228 Peace Memorial Park in 1996 by the then city VOL. 2, NO.

  • Taipei and Seoul's Modern Urbanization Under
    sustainability Article Taipei and Seoul’s Modern Urbanization under Japanese Colonial Rule: A Comparative Study from the Present-Day Context Yeonkyung Lee Institute of Convergence Research Institute of Regional Humanities and Information, Incheon National University, Incheon 21999, Korea; [email protected]; Tel.: +82-10-5019-5372 Received: 29 April 2020; Accepted: 7 June 2020; Published: 11 June 2020 Abstract: Both Taipei and Seoul underwent a process of colonization and modern urbanization during the early part of the 20th century, under Japanese rule. In both countries, urban-planning projects from the colonial period have had a great impact on recent urban changes. This comparative analysis aims to identify the characteristics of modern cities with Japanese colonial histories, focusing on the following three aspects: (1) Urban structure based on spatial distribution by ethnic group; (2) Japanese colonial urban planning; and (3) modern boulevards that convey the power and spectacle of a colonial city. Taipei and Seoul have multi-cores because the Japanese and Taiwanese/Korean areas were not clearly separated spatially. Secondly, Japanese colonial urban planning was influenced by Japanese settlements and government facilities. Thirdly, the main boulevards in each city, created through modern urban planning, combine modern streetscapes with imperial spectacle. These boulevards took on an important political meaning after liberation. Comparative studies of Taipei and Seoul can illuminate the difference between modern cities with a Japanese colonial history and colonial cities under European rule. Such comparisons make it possible to analyze the meaning, value, and relevance of colonial remnants, including urban structure and artifacts, for each city’s sustainable future.

  • Education on Classical Architecture and Architectural Practice in Taiwan Chia-Lin Hsu Tunghai University
    ISSN: 2519-1268 Issue 3 (Summer 2017), pp. 51-73 DOI: 10.6667/interface.3.2017.45 Education on Classical Architecture and Architectural Practice in Taiwan chia-lin hsu Tunghai University Abstract Classical architectural elements in Taiwan were first used by the Japanese colonizers between 1895 and 1945 as symbols of westernization and advance. Education on architecture opened to Taiwanese from 1920s, and a few Taiwanese architects continued to practice the classical style after the Japanese left Taiwan. Postwar competitions among Taiwanese students show that the classical style was still taught, but was rarely practiced after 1950s. The government of the Nationalist Party (Kuomintang, KMT) rarely promoted architectural style of western antiquity, as the American aid to the government resulted in a preference to American culture. Also the poor economy of Taiwan resulted to a construction that was mainly functional and frugal. Additionally, architects influenced by contemporary styles, such as modernism and post-modernism, took charge of most building projects in Taiwan, changing the trend of architectural style. The new architecture departments established in universities in the 1960s and in 1990s played an important role in protecting cultural heritage and appreciating and preserving monuments of the Japanese colonial period, many of which include classical elements. As they continue to teach the history of architecture they also enable access to various styles, through which the classicism and the classical elements in the post-modernism are revisited, especially as the rapid changes of the 1980s and 1990s in economy and politics made Taiwan a society much more open to diverse values and cultures.

Kerim Friedman 2005 All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Title: Learning “Local” Languages: Passive Revolution, Language Markets, and Aborigine Education in Taiwan Degree: Doctor of Philosophy Temple University, 2004 Doctoral Advisory Committee Chair: F. Niyi Akinnaso This dissertation examines contemporary linguistic markets and language policy in Taiwan in terms of the historical processes of state formation, class alliances, and identity politics, drawing upon Pierre Bourdieu’s theory of linguistic markets and Antonio Gramsci’s theory of hegemony as well as the literature on nationalism and linguistic ideology. Emphasis is placed on the historical processes underlying the construction of Taiwan’s linguistic markets as Taiwan’s linguistic nationalism emerged throughout history, focusing on the continuities and changes across Qing, Japanese, KMT and DPP rule. Accordingly, with language policy always in the background, the dissertation touches on several interrelated issues, including (a) the impact of each ruling historical bloc on Taiwan’s linguistic nationalism, focusing on continuities and discontinuities

(202) 547-3686 International edition, April / May 2014 Published 5 times a year ISSN number: 1027-3999 146 Taiwan’s Sunflower Revolution Historic protest for democracy and a free future The 18th March 2014 will go into Taiwan’s history as a momentous day: on that date, several hundred students from universities around Taiwan entered the country’s legislature, the Legislative Yuan, and occupied the main chamber. The immediate reason was that on the previous day, a KMT chairman of a committee charged with reviewing the proposed Service Trade Agreement with China, which had been signed on 21 June 2013, abruptly decided that the “review” had been completed, without even one minute of deliberations. Photo: AFP The chairman, legislator Chang Ching-chung, sent the legislation to the plenary session of the legislature, where it would be passed by an up-or-down vote without further discussion. This move infuriated many in Taiwan’s society whose livelihood would be affected by the influx from China, and prompted the students to take action. On the following pages we present a summary account of Students in the Legislative Yuan during their occupa- the events, and also give tion from 18 March through 10 April 2014 Taiwan Communiqué -2- April / May 2014 underlying reasons for the protests: why are the students and so many others in Taiwan society upset and angry about the moves by the Ma Ying-jeou government? We also discuss the implications of the protest for both domestic politics in Taiwan (elections are coming up in 2014 and 2016), and for cross-Strait relations.

The Japanese acquired Taiwan in 1895 after the First Sino-Japanese War and made Taipei the island’s capital. The Republic of China took over the island in 1945 after Japan’s defeat in World War II. Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek declared Taipei the provisional capital of the Republic of China in December 1949 after Kuomintang (KMT) was defeated by Communists during the Chinese Civil War. The KMT retreated to Taiwan and the jurisdiction of the Republic of China was limited to Taiwan while the Communist Party founded the People’s Republic of China in mainland China. 1709 1875 1894 1895 1945 1960 1990 2007 Han Chinese began to In 1875, the northern Taipei remained a tem- As settlement for los- Upon the Japanese de- Taipei was the capital In the following year, On September 30, 2007, settle in the Taipei Ba- part of Taiwan was porary provincial capital ing the Sino-Japanese feat in the Pacific War of Taiwan Province un- Taipei City expanded the ruling Democratic sin in 1709. separated from Taiwan before it officially be- War, China ceded the and its consequent sur- til the 1960s when the again by annexing Shilin, Progressive Party ap- Prefecture and incorpo- came the capital of Tai- entire island of Taiwan render in August 1945, provincial administration Beitou, Neihu, Nangang, proved a resolution as- rated into the new Tai- wan in 1894.

  • Issue Orientation, Party System and Strategic Interaction from Two Cases1
    Policy Outcomes of Social Movements in Taiwan: Issue Orientation, Party System and Strategic Interaction from Two Cases1 Huang-ting Yan2 Abstract Some social movements have reformed public policies or established the mode of participatory democracy while others had limited success in terms of intended results. Although resource mobilization theory has been offered to explain impacts of social movements, the application in Taiwan is restricted. Therefore, how to find out key factors, which can differentiate policy outcomes of social movements, is the problematic in the article. Political context, which interacts with social environment, is vital to develop precise casual mechanisms underlying the theoretical framework. First of all, issue orientation that movement actors adopt can be divided into concurrent issues, consisting of supra-partisan, cross-sectors and generalized expectation, and polarized issues, which are defined as linkage to parties, centered on particular sectors and conflicting values. Secondly, due to votes-maximization strategy, governing parties must be alerted to concurrent issues, which represent far-reaching resentments from populations while they take indifferent attitude toward polarized issues, which symbolize angers only from oppositions. Therefore, issue orientation results in different impacts on social movements. Finally, the strategic interaction between government and opposition in policy making, which is affected by party systems, determines policy outcomes of social movements. Polarized issues should be successfully articulated under coalition government, divided government or consensus democracy because more “veto players” participates in the policy-negotiating and formulation phase. In order to test some hypotheses derived from the theoretical framework, the article compares two social movements, the “Whiteshirts Movement” and the 1 This is a draft, which mainly compares two social movements in Taiwan.
