A century of struggle over Taiwans cultural self-consciousness: the life and afterlife of Chiang Wei-shui and the Taiwan Cultural Association
No full textThis chapter examines a century of struggle over Taiwan's politico-cultural self-consciousness with a focus on the life and afterlife of Chiang Wei-shui and the Taiwan Cultural Association (TCA). The politicocultural policies over the last century centred on colonial impositions and (de)constructions of 'people's sense of themselves' in Taiwan from (1) anti-Japanization to Japanization; (2) from deJapanization to re-China-ization; and (3) from de-China-ization to Taiwanization. This chapter explores Chiang's thoughts on culture and demonstrates Chiang's prognosis of the health of the Han population on the island. Shih argues that Chiang intended to invoke the members' selfconsciousness as a colonized class of people. Chiang's effort seemed to have been an unintended consequence of his primary concern of modernizing culture to make it fitter for the contemporary world. For their afterlife, Shih shows Chiang and the TCA were ignored and forgotten for six decades from war mobilization in Japanese colonization till the late 1980's. Shih finally investigates the TCA and Chiang's legacies during dangwai campaign and concludes that the 1920s as Taiwan's "Self-conscious Age"

A new phase with nano-rod structure evolved from ferroelectric thin film

Texts and Methods of Contemporary Political Psychology: a Literature Review
No full text本文瀏覽美國政治心理學課堂所採用的課本。在早期，這些讀本不是專門為大學生所寫的，而是知名學者的論著。從一九七○年代開始，政治心理學已經更常出現在大學的授課計劃之中，則以大學生為對象的教材便應運而生。這些教材的範圍與方法迥異，好像是在講不同課目，但有一點共通的，就是所討論的不出一般人對心理學的印象，則名之為政治心理學當然就不為過。八○年代以後通用的政治心理學教材仍然不多。但九○年代初期卻是一個雨後春筍的季節，以大學生為對象的課本紛紛出籠。一九九○年前後應該是美國政治心理學界的一個轉掠年，縱使九○年代的教材內容依舊各說各話，但輪廓逐漸浮現，大致可以分為兩個支流。一個是以人格、精神分析、深層心理為主，另一個是以認知、知覺、情感為主。最後，本文整理了幾種常見的政治心理分析法。This paper reviews English undergraduate textbooks for the course of political psychology. These texts do not share one common scope or research method, suggesting the embarrassment of declaring political psychology being a field of research. Early texts are generally related to authoritarian personality. Their quality is not balanced and sometimes even testifies to the dim prospect for political psychology as a professional subject of study. After the 1990, new texts began to introduce recent findings in cognitive psychology. In the past decade, two streams of text writing emerge, that is, psychoanalytical texts and cognitive texts, and they are more suitable for the undergraduate to read. This paper ends with the introduction of a number of methods commonly seen in political psychology research
Conceiving a New Feminism/Nationalism: Mothering in Timberlake Wertenbaker's The Break of Day
No full text本文擬探討英國女劇作家渥騰貝克之《破曉》(1995)中的現代女性生育議題。第一部份陳述當年劇評家批評兩位中年女性主義者選擇生育／母職是對女性主義的背叛。第二部份指出渥騰貝克透過這樣的選擇，重新檢視向來被女性主義者排斥和否定的母親身分。第三部份論述跨國認養如何凸顯在全球化時代個人及國家主體的轉化，同時抨擊柴契爾政權下的國家霸權主義。結論則呈現《破曉》中的期待，在邁入二十一世紀時，女性在身分建構上更具自主權，國家、民族能包容異己、平等相待。This essay investigates the issue of mothering in Timberlake Wertenbaker's The Break of Day (1995). The first part states how the desire of mothering was dismissed by critics as a backlash against feminism. The second part argues that, by dramatizing the maternal drive, Wertenbaker calls for a re-examination of the problematic of mothering. The third part points out that with the cross-border adoption Wertenbaker addresses the formations and transformations of individual and national identities in the era of globalization on the one hand, and on the other attacks the hegemonic Britain under the Thatcher government. The essay concludes that The Break of Day offers a better future in which women can have greater control over their bodies and races can enjoy greater equality
Dependent Nationalism: The People and Territory in the Chinese Inward Defense
No full text人民代表大會通過的國防法，會在外界引起爭議，多半是不符合一般國家體制的規範，明文界定國家軍隊對自己人民進行軍事行動的法源，但深明近代中國歷史發展的人都應了解，這種向內的國防，正是中國人在文化、宗教方面西化未完全，但卻接受了西方國家的體制，因此而生出的焦慮與沮喪所促成的特殊風格。更何況，西洋國家體制下並非真是槍口一致對外，而是彼等對內的國防具有較大的隱藏性而已。西洋國家體制之內的顛覆因子，是國家建立之後進行殖民主義才引進的，因比較容易區隔，其中沒有出現母國人民的自恨，只有不同種族與階級之間的對立。中國與其它後殖民國家在建國之前，就經經與帝國主義無所不在的文化工程相接觸，故並不存在絕對本土的領導菁英，則無論反封邁或反揥，難免都是在針對自己內在的若干部分進行反抗。 既然是針對自己，就不可能完全受制於領土疆域，而這偏偏又被當代國家體制視為是不理性的行為，而以為中國人的國防對內行使鎮壓，對外溢出疆域，其目的又不像美國那樣，以以維護某個其它家的疆域，受其邀請而前往干預的，於是就容易變成其他國家，尤其是美，看成是未來改變國際版圖現伏的主要威脅來洲。而這種美人對中國人想當然耳的定位，在中國人那種依賴性民族主義的角度解讀之下，當然就構成令人不安的反華行徑，則國防體系中的人，一來被迫檢視內部是否有人受蠱惑，二來急於尋求帝國鋹義同路人為對象，並打擊之以展現民族振興，從而更被西方看成為一個錍脅的主要來源。如此惡性循環形成，厥為國防。The National Defense Act passed by the National People's congress of March 1997 may well cause controversy due to its incompatibility with norms of Western sovereign states. Indeed Chinese national defense is inward defense to the extent that it aims to prevent a harmonious social being from splitting. From a postcolonial perspective, I believe that the hybrid influences in the Chinese public consciousness have cause enormous anxiety among Chinese leaders. Since the enemy resides within, it is impossible to speak strictly of territorially oriented national defense. It is impossible to speak strictly of territorially oriented national defense. Inward defense is nevertheless considered so undemocratic that it defeats the purpose of having sovereignty to protect citizens from external threat. However, inward defense exists in all states albeit indirect in Western states. The nature of inward defense enables the Chinese military to ironically lose or relinquish territory with a feeling of superiority, or display a compulsive attachment to a piece of land regardless of the sacrifices required. All this performance, in the end, enacts a position of moral incorruptibility with a spirit reaching far and beyond secular territory, therefore reproducing a difference that distinguishes the Chinese from the imperialist Other
