Remnants of this identity crisis can be seen in political realm, with its extreme polarization on various social, political, and historical issues. This article explores the ongoing textbook controversy in Taiwan, situating it in evolving domestic and international contexts. It suggests that Taiwan society’s representation of its colonial and Cold War past is highly contested, which was influenced by democratization. It attempts to provide an overview of the course of the textbook controversy in Taiwan from a historical perspective, and to show the reactions from educators, students, and the general public. Through an analysis of the different ways that Taiwan’s history was interpreted and represented in its history textbooks, this article shows how these factors help construct Taiwan’s contested identity.","PeriodicalId":41163,"journal":{"name":"ASIANetwork Exchange-A Journal for Asian Studies in the Liberal Arts","volume":"35 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2023-07-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74416221","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Among the recent surge of interest in computer-generated poetry in Japan, I look particularly at two computer programs: the instant tanka generator Inu-zaru created by Sasaki Arara, and the so-called “guzen tanka” Twitter bot of programmer Inaniwa and poet Sekishiro. These programs engender new paradoxical models of technology-mediated authorship and reading, whereby human agency is at once subtracted from the composition process while also being presupposed as a necessary component in the participant reader. Such forms of reading and writing shed new light on theoretical matters such as the death of the author even as they pose intractable questions concerning international copyright conventions.","PeriodicalId":41163,"journal":{"name":"ASIANetwork Exchange-A Journal for Asian Studies in the Liberal Arts","volume":"29 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85857150","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The film’s sweetly nostalgic framing of colonial relations contrasts starkly with Wei’s 2011 film Seediq Bale, which violently portrays the 1930 Wushe Uprising that left over 130 Japanese colonists and 600 indigenous Seediq people dead.

This unsafe environment has led members of vulnerable ethnic groups, particularly those who reside in mountainous upland regions, to engage in refugee movements throughout the region. Yale political scientist James C. Scott discusses this particular subset of upland migrants in his book, The Art of Not Being Governed. He characterizes the interactions between the upland and lowland peoples as one where the former seeks to escape state control and official legibility from the latter. The Dara’ang are one such upland group seeking relocation. Since the 1990s, thousands of Dara’ang have fled Myanmar into Northern Thailand in a seemingly Scottsian pattern. This paper argues, however, that the Dara’ang exhibit shifting attitudes toward state control and legibility—from one of escaping the state to one of embracing the state in search of an improved quality of life. Data for this paper was collected through archival research and fieldwork in Thailand and Myanmar in 2018. Inclusive of qualitative interviews and observational data, the paper analyzes collected evidence against Scott’s theoretical framework to modify Scott’s conclusions, at least with respect to the experience of Dara’ang refugees.","PeriodicalId":41163,"journal":{"name":"ASIANetwork Exchange-A Journal for Asian Studies in the Liberal Arts","volume":"122 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76534913","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

All four films portray a morally flawed businessman amidst a journey that would profoundly transform him in the end. This paper examines how these journeys unfold in an expanded geography—China’s second-tiered cities, Thailand, Hong Kong, and India—but fail in seriously engaging geopolitics. In particular, the last three films use China’s geopolitical others as strategic lure, playing up cultural stereotypes and cultural tourism. The depiction of China’s geopolitical others ultimately serves as a vehicle to process China’s rapidly changing realities and reflect upon distinctively Chinese experiences in the 2010s.","PeriodicalId":41163,"journal":{"name":"ASIANetwork Exchange-A Journal for Asian Studies in the Liberal Arts","volume":"13 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90517861","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Existing studies of YouTube focus on the burgeoning of participatory culture, the rise of microcelebrities, and fan labor. However, to date, little critical attention has been devoted to how YouTube constitutes a premium platform for the consumption of Chinese-language audiovisual content. Engaging in a close reading of user comments on YouTube, I analyze the ways in which Sinophone Internet users of divergent political stances defend their respective positions. While the exchange of viewpoints rarely fosters a change in political views, this process has nevertheless catalyzed productive conversations pertaining to issues about historical legacies and their relevance to contemporary society. The comment section thereby not only catalyzes public deliberation on a wide range of societal issues, but also exemplifies the role that popular culture plays in inspiring geopolitical imaginations beyond geographical boundaries.","PeriodicalId":41163,"journal":{"name":"ASIANetwork Exchange-A Journal for Asian Studies in the Liberal Arts","volume":"17 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87586806","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Reverberations of Collective Traumatic Memories from a South Korean Movie to June Fourth and Jiabiangou 从一部韩国电影到六四和夹边沟的集体创伤记忆的回响

{"title":"Reverberations of Collective Traumatic Memories from a South Korean Movie to June Fourth and Jiabiangou","authors":"Yenna Wu","doi":"10.16995/ane.8153","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.16995/ane.8153","url":null,"abstract":"This article begins by probing why the South Korean film banned in China, A Taxi Driver, would receive high accolades from so many Chinese netizens, and why the Chinese websites would suddenly delete all mention of and comments about the film by the end of October 3, 2017. This incident reveals a stark contrast between two countries: the democratic South Korean government has created and maintained the collective memory of the 1980 Gwangju Democratization Movement and reconciled past injustices, whereas the authoritarian Chinese regime has continued to erase the memory of the 1989 Tiananmen Square Pro-democracy Movement and June Fourth Massacre and forbid any discussions and investigations into the truth. After discussing the movie’s transnational reverberations of collective traumatic memories, this article suggests that the taboo on June Fourth drove some concerned authors to write about disasters caused by the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) from the Mao era. Examining the writer Yang Xianhui’s (1946- ) strategies to both dodge censorship and unearth the traumatic memories of the Jiabiangou labor camp rightist-inmates from 1957 to 1961, this article argues that Yang’s stories and other authors’ or filmmakers’ works on Jiabiangou would create reverberations of traumatic memories, contribute to collective memory, and indirectly resist the state violence that represses the memories of the CCP-manufactured tragedies.","PeriodicalId":41163,"journal":{"name":"ASIANetwork Exchange-A Journal for Asian Studies in the Liberal Arts","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89890003","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Versions of this enhanced, multi-dimensional temporal awareness appear in the work of several Asian and Asian diaspora writers as they grapple with cataclysmic historical moments, from WWII to contemporary violent outbursts, and consider counter-narratives, ways events might have been otherwise. Using Haruki Murakami’s fiction as a departure point for examining South Asian diaspora fiction writers Michael Ondaatje, Amitav Ghosh, and Karan Mahajan, this paper explores factors that enable the presentation of enhanced time consciousness as linked to a mindfulness practice or that conversely predispose such apprehensions of deep temporal connectivity to become fleeting epiphanies, ones often tragically tied to global politics and globalizing technologies.","PeriodicalId":41163,"journal":{"name":"ASIANetwork Exchange-A Journal for Asian Studies in the Liberal Arts","volume":"29 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83658371","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
