Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
From 1895 to 1945, Taiwan was ceded to Japan as part of the Treaty of Shimonoseki-- a result of the Imperial China losing the war to the Japanese Empire. During the fifty years of colonisation, the Taiwanese colonials had been exposed to a broad range of intervention-- "Japanese-ness" was infiltrated in every aspect of Taiwanese people’s quotidian existence, including economy, language, culture in different forms. Some of these interventions are considered to be "colonial exploitation" (of natural resources, of labour, enrolment to the army etc.) by historians and the Taiwanese colonials, and some are considered to be ‘contributions’, (for example the hydraulic engineering, urban planning and the legal system) as some discourses suggested in the contemporary Taiwanese society in which Taiwanese modernization are considered to be a result thanking to the Japanese.The seminar is dedicated to investigate the Japanese colonial history in Taiwan and its impact to the island through analysing how the colonial influence has been represented in the everyday life scenario of the Taiwanese people. Students will be exposed to academic works and various forms of cultural productions (such as novels, advertisement, documentaries and films) on religion, space, recreation, language policies, identity and more. Students are encouraged to reflect critically on the notion of colonisation beyond the breadth of the current discourses which focuses on the African and South American colonialism and to widen the scope on the investigation on colonialism in the East Asian region such as Taiwan with a careful consideration on these colonies’ specific temporal and post-colonial particularities.
