Arise of Taiwan Conciousness

The rising of “Taiwanese consciousness” (in contrast to the “Chinese consciousness” that the Nationalist government imposed), as well as a variety of social movements during the 1980s, urged the Nationalist government to lift the Martial Law in 1987, putting an end to the thirty-eight year-long martial law era.

Various debates on post-colonial theory in Taiwan

Is Taiwan a post-colonial country?

1. 邱貴芬：是 Taiwan as a postcolonial society by stressing Taiwan’s translingual and cross-cultural condition attributed to its history of multiple colonialisms.
2. Liao chao yang：No, although Taiwan can be considered a multicultural and multilingual society, the national language (Mandarin Chinese) is still the dominant language promoted by the Nationalist ideological policy after 1945. Therefore, the hybrid and multilingual characteristics of Taiwan, Liao argued, do not constitute a basis for Taiwan’s postcoloniality.

In short, post-colonial theory is significant and problematic for Taiwan.

• 語言問題 國民黨戒嚴時期 除了漢語之外的語言都不能講
• 文學問題 台灣文學被邊緣化
• 有學者認為國民黨是再殖民 in 1947
• 「遲來的後殖民」

• 殖民有二元對立和過於簡化的問題，需要一個三元模型
• 打破漢族中心主義的歷史編纂
• 對於原住民來說，後殖民從未開始

• 殖民對於原住民來說並不是過去式，而是現在式
• 我們需要一種新的超越後殖民理論的框架來研究這種殖民形式，那就是定居者殖民

setter colonialism

a person who arrives, especially from another country, in a new place in order to live there and use the land

a person who moves with a group of others to live in a new country or area.

How did settler colonization differ from traditional colonization?

feature

定居殖民 - land and live

    傳統殖民- 經濟發展和勞動力剝削

linear narrative” 定居者到來，佔領土地，宣稱自身合法性，改造當地的司法體制，一去不返，不走了

circular form  傳統殖民者，來發，入侵，與被殖民他者互動，最後回到宗主國

Settlers need to legitimize their colonial rule through narratives

• 將原住民看作是遊牧的或漫遊的，這樣就可以只把他們看作較早到來的移民

• 切斷原住民與土地的本體論連結
• 強調自身的土著性

傳統殖民還是主/奴模式，病毒模型，host/guest

定居殖民，不需要他者，細菌模型，瘋狂佔領和擴張：by assimilating them, by killing them off, or more often by preventing them from accessing traditional resources and reproduce.

Settlers and Immigrants

settler colonial invasion is a “structure” not an “event.

美國，新西蘭，以色列都是定居者殖民

台灣

it is extremely problematic to claim the postcolonial for the indigenous peoples of Taiwan, when Han mainstream settler society remains reluctant and unwilling to recognize the existence of the indigenous population, or to acknowledge the continuous domination and dispossession of the indigenous peoples by the Han settler state.
