We ask that U.S. members, where possible, pay by checks when paying for items on the web site. PayPal fees amount to 3.7% or more and credit card fees are 4.7% or more. We operate on 15% and these fees make a big difference. We need this income from web site sales to support our other activities that do not produce any income. Also, please note your ‘Confirmation Number’ on the check. This will speed up your order. You can add books, DVDs, and items from ‘Stamp & Cover Sales’ to your auction invoice. If you buy things in a separate order that you want to be shipped with your Auction lots, send me an email so I know to combine the two order numbers. Sometimes I see that we have two orders that can be combined, but with 130+ auction invoices I don not always notice that there are two from the same person. In the May Auction 625 lots sold for $20,298. I am cancelling the August Auction. From now on we will have auction is May and November, but they will be larger. I simply can not continue to do a magazine every 60 days and an auction every 90 days. This will also enable me to find time to add more items to Stamp & Cover Sales. We will still make quarterly distributions to consignors. We need a New Editor for the China Clipper. We have a person that can do the layout in Adobe InDesign, so the new editor need not know that software. We still need a Category Editor for the November China Clipper, the PRC issue. 80-4 The China Clipper July 2016 163 Special Sale Price $75.00 For the complete 1945-2012 Fidelity People’s Republic of China & Liberated Areas Album Pages (19 pounds) U.S. postage $14.95 Fidelity Red Binders (2 pounds each) are available for $9.95 U.S. Postage $8.95 each 164 The China Clipper July 2016 80-4 INSPECTION MARKS IN THE NEW TAIWAN DOLLAR PERIOD Jia-Shiuh Shen 沈家旭 Editor’s Note: This article was translated by Dennis that Taiwan be repatriated to China as part of the terms of Murphy.

  • Abstract Taiwanese Identity and Transnational Families
    ABSTRACT TAIWANESE IDENTITY AND TRANSNATIONAL FAMILIES IN THE CINEMA OF ANG LEE Ting-Ting Chan, Ph.D. Department of English Northern Illinois University, 2017 Scott Balcerzak, Director This dissertation argues that acclaimed filmmaker Ang Lee should be regarded as a Taiwanese transnational filmmaker. Thus, to best understand his work, a Taiwanese sociopolitical context should be employed to consider his complicated national identity as it is reflected in his films across genres and cultures. Previous Ang Lee studies see him merely as a transnational Taiwanese-American or diasporic Chinese filmmaker and situate his works into a broader spectrum of either Asian-American culture or Chinese national cinema. In contrast, this dissertation argues his films are best understood through a direct reference to Taiwan’s history, politics, and society. The chapters examine eight of Lee’s films that best explain his Taiwanese national identity through different cultural considerations: Pushing Hands (1992) and Eat Drink Man Woman (1994) are about maternity; The Wedding Banquet (1993) and Brokeback Mountain (2005) consider homosexuality; The Ice Storm (1997) and Taking Woodstock (2009) represent a collective Taiwanese view of America; and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000) and Lust, Caution (2007) reflect and challenge traditions of Taiwan Cinema. The eight films share three central leitmotifs: family, a sympathetic view of cultural outsiders, and a sympathy for the losing side. Through portraying various domestic relations, Lee presents archetypal families based in filial piety, yet at the same time also gives possible challenges represented by a modern era of equal rights, liberalism, and individualism – which confront traditional Taiwanese-Chinese family views.

This was done with a particular focus on the influence of Taiwan’s various colonial relationships that have been developing at least since the Japanese occupation. This thesis also points to the power of historical narrative in identity formation and the negotiations that take place between “official” government sponsored attempts at creating historical narrative as opposed to the attempts we see by authors and filmmakers to expose crucial events in their own identity formation that has been previously been neglected or ignored. The results of this thesis illustrate how Taiwan’s colonial relationships with Japan and China continue to impact Taiwanese identity, particularly due to the influence of the Cold War. Taiwanese have responded to the influence of the Chinese by creating and propagating an image of a multi-cultural Taiwan.

  • Taiwan's Postcoloniality and Postwar Memories of Japan*
    Taiwan’s Postcoloniality and Postwar Memories of Japan* Liang-ya Liou ABSTRACT This article deals with the relationship between Taiwan’s postcoloniality and post- war memories of the Japanese colonial rule (1895-1945) in Taiwanese fiction, with a special focus on the politics of re-memory in Shih Shu-ching’s Taiwan Trilogy (2003-2010). I argue that Taiwan’s postcoloniality and postwar memories of the Japanese rule are linked partly because of the Kuomintang’s refusal until the lifting of martial law (1987) to see a decolonized Taiwan, and that the bur- geoning of postcolonial Taiwanese fiction in recent decades, with more positive or complex reimagining of the Japanese period, deepens our rethinking of what constitutes Taiwan’s postcoloniality. Using Shih Shu-ching’s Taiwan Trilog y as my case study, I examine how the rewriting of Taiwan’s national history provides a particularly interesting reengagement with Japanese colonialism in Taiwan. In light of Pheng Cheah’s rethinking on world literature, I explore further how the trilogy’s re-memory renegotiates with Japanese colonial legacy and presents the case of Taiwan’s postcoloniality, which in turn may incite new thoughts on postcoloniality around the world and particularly in East and Southeast Asia. The conclusion draws on Ping-hui Liao’s notion of alternative modernity to illuminate Taiwan’s postcoloniality.

  • Screening Taiwan Soft Power: Film Festivals in and About Taiwan
    Screening Taiwan Soft Power: Film Festivals in and about Taiwan Ming-yeh T. Rawnsley Centre of Taiwan Studies, SOAS, University of London • Draft only. Please do not cite without the author’s expressed permission. Abstract: As Dina Iordanova (2010: 18–19) has noted, ‘There is disparity in the behaviour of countries when it comes to festivals organised with the mandate to promote national cinemas. This disparity is often linked to the availability of resources directed to culture. […] A country like Taiwan which seeks state recognition, uses film festivals as an important tool in international relations.’ This paper surveys film festivals in and about Taiwan to provide the above statement with a clearer context and investigate how Taiwan uses film festivals as a tool of cultural diplomacy to screen the island’s soft power. Keywords: film festival, Taiwan, cultural diplomacy, soft power Introduction Since the first film festival—the Venice Film Festival—was organised in Italy in 1932, the number of international film festivals has proliferated while their importance and visibility has become particularly heightened over the past three or four decades. There were an estimated 170 film festivals worldwide in the 1980s, and that the figure rose to 700 by 2003 (Iordanova and Rhyne, 2009: 1). The film festival phenomenon is both global and local because ‘festivals have been the place where the interests of nationalism and internationalism converge. Film festivals bring the world to town, and they also bring your town to the world’ 1 (Rich, 2013: 158). For this reason, film festivals play an increasingly crucial role in our multicultural experiences across the globe in the twenty-first century.
