Abstract of the book:
This book examines the various aspects of modern Taiwanese culture through the prism of global cultural interactions. Instead of considering Taiwan a product of transience, displacement, or crossing, it highlights Taiwan’s subjectivity, viewing the island’s development as a site of a global cultural circuit that epitomizes both the resistance and negotiation in the process of cultural flows, feedback loops, and global imperialism. The fourteen chapters by scholars from and outside of Taiwan altogether investigate the multi-layered and multidirectional interplays between the island and the outside world and explore the impact of complex cultural encounters on the construction, writing and rewriting of Taiwan in a global context. The topics covered range from Taiwanese literature and cinema, tourism, cultural geography, colonial history, indigenous studies, food culture, and folk religion, with reference points drawn from Japan, China, Hong Kong, the Philippines, and the West (especially the U.S.). This volume’s focus on the continuous cross-cultural interplays affords readers a deeper understanding of identity politics, and a better insight into the fluidity, changeability, and constructionist nature of culture.
