Perspectives on Taiwanese Identity in the Art of Chen Chieh-Jen and Wu Tien-Chang
Naomi Kojen Research Intern National Chiao Tung University Supervisor: Joyce C.H. Liu Translating Collective Memory: Perspectives on Taiwanese identity in the art of Chen Chieh-jen and Wu Tien-chang This paper will address the phenomenon of artistic engagement with history, past and collective memory in Taiwanese contemporary art as a means of dealing with the question of Taiwanese identity. Even though this is a recurring strategy in the works of many artists, in this preliminary research I intend to focus on two prominent figures in Taiwanese contemporary art, Chen Chieh-jen (陈界仁) and Wu Tien-chang (呉天 章). The two artists selected have had long careers and evolved in terms of style, medium and aesthetics. Nevertheless, they are consistent in their engagement with the past, history and memory and the continuing discussion on issues of identity. While this paper is unable to fully represent the multifaceted identity of the Taiwanese artists, it aims to unravel the ways in which some key issues concerning Taiwanese identity are translated through these two rich artistic perspectives. Over the past fifty years, history and memory have gained traction in academic discourse, and concepts of collective, social and cultural memory have become central in both sociology and cultural history. The concept of collective memory was initially introduced by sociologist Maurice Halbwachs. Halbwachs introduced the idea that memory is a social structure, something which is acquired, recalled, recognized and localized in society. The framework of collective memory or social memory is therefore a result, sum and combination of individual members or multiple members of a society (Halbwachs,1992:38-39). -

Vought - Wikipedia
10/27/2020 Vought - Wikipedia Vought Vought was the name of several related American aerospace firms. These have included, in the past, Lewis and Vought Corporation, Chance Vought, Vought Vought-Sikorsky, LTV Aerospace (part of Ling-Temco-Vought), Vought Aircraft Companies, and Vought Aircraft Industries. The first incarnation of Vought was established by Chance M. Vought and Birdseye Lewis in 1917. In 1928, it was acquired by United Aircraft and Transport Corporation, which a few years later became United Aircraft Corporation; this was the first of many reorganizations and buyouts. During the 1920s and 1930s, Vought Aircraft and Chance Vought specialized in carrier-based aircraft for the United States Navy, by far its biggest customer. Chance Vought produced thousands of planes during World War II, including the F4U Corsair. Vought became independent again in 1954, and was purchased by Ling- Temco-Vought (LTV) in 1961. The company designed and produced a variety of The VE-7 was the first aircraft to planes and missiles throughout the Cold War. Vought was sold from LTV and owned launch from a U.S. Navy aircraft in various degrees by the Carlyle Group and Northrop Grumman in the early 1990s. It carrier was then fully bought by Carlyle, renamed Vought Aircraft Industries, with Industry Aerospace headquarters in Dallas, Texas. In June 2010, the Carlyle Group sold Vought to the Triumph Group. Founded 1917 Founders Birdseye Lewis Chance M.
