Book Synopsis Taiwan’s Imagined Geography by : Emma Jinhua Teng
Download or read book Taiwan’s Imagined Geography written by Emma Jinhua Teng and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2020-03-23 with total page 419 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Until 300 years ago, the Chinese considered Taiwan a “land beyond the seas,” a “ball of mud” inhabited by “naked and tattooed savages.” The incorporation of this island into the Qing empire in the seventeenth century and its evolution into a province by the late nineteenth century involved not only a reconsideration of imperial geography but also a reconceptualization of the Chinese domain. The annexation of Taiwan was only one incident in the much larger phenomenon of Qing expansionism into frontier areas that resulted in a doubling of the area controlled from Beijing and the creation of a multi-ethnic polity. The author argues that travelers’ accounts and pictures of frontiers such as Taiwan led to a change in the imagined geography of the empire. In representing distant lands and ethnically diverse peoples of the frontiers to audiences in China proper, these works transformed places once considered non-Chinese into familiar parts of the empire and thereby helped to naturalize Qing expansionism. By viewing Taiwan–China relations as a product of the history of Qing expansionism, the author contributes to our understanding of current political events in the region."

Book excerpt: 台灣水產養殖起源甚早，荷蘭人統治台灣時期，台南沿海地區就有虱目魚的養殖，數百年來台灣的漁民一直靠天吃飯，拓土墾塭、與風浪搏命，非常辛苦。而由於各地漁業發展歷程的不同，加上台灣南北部礁岩底質，海岸曲折且離天然漁場近，大小漁港眾多；西部海岸地勢平坦易積淤泥沙，東部則懸崖斷壁，適合建港的地點不多，因此呈現南北多、東西少的景況。 隨著大環境及世界潮流的演變，台灣近海漁業從生產型逐漸轉變成保育型，漁港也跟著轉型，諸如宜蘭縣從北而南，可以一覽石城、大里、大溪、梗枋等小型漁港，隨處可見小型漁船在港邊停泊；以休閒為主的烏石漁港，則以賞鯨、品嚐海鮮聞名，旅人如織；還有提供中大型漁船卸魚及補給的蘇澳漁港⋯⋯等，尤其近年來在國際吹起永續漁業的觀念後，以定置漁網為主的漁法則逐漸受到重視。

Book Synopsis Women in the New Taiwan by : Catherine Farris
Download or read book Women in the New Taiwan written by Catherine Farris and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-08-26 with total page 407 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Taiwan's rapid socio-economic and political transformation has given rise to a gender-conscious middle class that is attempting to redefine the roles of women in society, to restructure relationship patterns, and to organize in groups outside the family unit. This book examines internal psychological processes and external societal processes as the feminist movement in Taiwan expands and new gender roles are explored. The contributors represent a cross section of different disciplines - history, anthropology, and sociology - and different generations of China/Taiwan scholars. They place the issues facing Taiwan's women's movement in social, political, and economic contexts. The book examines gender relations, the role of women in Chinese society, and issues related to women in China throughout history. Feminism and gender relations are also viewed from the context of film and literature. The authors look at the contemporary roles that women play in Taiwan's work force today, how the sexes perceive each other in the workplace, and more.

Book excerpt: 現今人們早已習慣生活在由水泥、磚塊、鋼筋所構築而成的都會叢林，似乎少了些與土壤的直接連結，但陽光、空氣和水是生物生存的三大基本要素，存在大地數億年以上的「土壤」，則讓動植物有了依託與根基。 聯合國第68屆會議中宣布2015年為「國際土壤年」（International Year of Soils），除了提高人類生活中「土壤」的重要性，也希望透過土地資源的保護，為未來糧食安全及減緩氣候暖化作準備。台灣位處歐亞大陸板塊的交會處，全球12個土綱土壤，在這座島嶼上，能觀察到的竟有11種之多，如火山活動殘留下來的灰燼土、高山針葉林下生成的淋澱土、草原植物環境生成的黑沃土，以及由河川沖積生成的淋溶土，說台灣是座大型的「世界土壤博物館」，一點都不為過。
Book Synopsis Ecocriticism in Taiwan by : Chia-ju Chang
Download or read book Ecocriticism in Taiwan written by Chia-ju Chang and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2016-06-01 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ecocriticism is a mode of interdisciplinary critical inquiry into the relationship between cultural production, society, and the environment. The field advocates for the more-than-human realm as well as for underprivileged human and non-human groups and their perspectives. Taiwan is one of the earliest centers for promoting ecocriticism outside the West and has continued to play a central role in shaping ecocriticism in East Asia. This is the first English anthology dedicated to the vibrant development of ecocriticism in Taiwan. It provides a window to Taiwan’s important contributions to international ecocriticism, especially an emerging “vernacular” trend in the field emphasizing the significance of local perspectives and styles, including non-western vocabularies, aesthetics, cosmologies, and political ideologies. Taiwan's unique history, geographic location, geology, and subtropical climate generate locale-specific, vernacular thinking about island ecology and environmental history, as well as global environmental issues such as climate change, dioxin pollution, species extinction, energy decisions, pollution, and environmental injustice. In hindsight, Taiwan's industrial modernization no longer appears as a success narrative among Asia's “Four Little Dragons,” but as a cautionary tale revealing the brute force entrepreneurial exploitation of the land and the people. In this light, this volume can be seen as a critical response to Taiwan's postcolonial, capitalist-industrial modernity, as manifested in the scholars’ readings of Taiwan's "mountain and river," ocean, animal, and aboriginal (non)fictional narratives, environmental documentaries, and art installations. This volume is endowed with a mixture of ecocosmopolitan and indigenous sensitivities. Though dominated by the Han Chinese ethnic group and its Confucian ideology, Taiwan is a place of complicated ethnic identities and affiliations. The succession of changing colonial and political regimes, made even more complex by the island’s sixteen aboriginal groups and several diasporic subcultures (South Asian immigrants, Western expatriates, and diverse immigrants from the Chinese mainland), has led to an ongoing quest for political and cultural identity. This complexity urges Taiwan-based ecoscholars to pay attention to the diasporic, comparative, and intercultural dimensions of local specificity, either based on their own diasporic experience or the cosmopolitan features of the Taiwanese texts they scrutinize. This cosmopolitan-vernacular dynamic is a key contribution Taiwan has to offer current ecocritical scholarship.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The diary as a genre is found in all literate societies, and these autobiographical accounts are written by persons of all ranks and positions. The Diary offers an exploration of the form in its social, historical, and cultural-literary contexts with its own distinctive features, poetics, and rhetoric. The contributors to this volume examine theories and interpretations relating to writing and studying diaries; the formation of diary canons in the United Kingdom, France, United States, and Brazil; and the ways in which handwritten diaries are transformed through processes of publication and digitization. The authors also explore different diary formats, including the travel diary, the private diary, conflict diaries written during periods of crisis, and the diaries of the digital era, such as blogs. The Diary offers a comprehensive overview of the genre, synthesizing decades of interdisciplinary study to enrich our understanding of, research about, and engagement with the diary as literary form and historical documentation.
