概述

This seminar aims to orient students toward re-thinking Inter-Asia Cultural Studies (IACS) problematics. This course delimits its scope to foreground the questions and formations of present conditions shaped by the residues of the historical past and the contemporary geo-economic and geopolitical forces. This course will also address several fundamental questions: What is Cultural Study? What is the objective of Inter-Asia Cultural Studies? Is there any disciplinary methodology or theoretical framework we must adopt for Inter-Asia Cultural Studies? We will investigate the complex relations and geopolitics of East/Southeast and South Asian societies. We will consider relevant factors, including the following dimensions: nation-building and the movement of decolonization, the Cold War regime, the shadow of Pax Americana, the rise of China, and the age of neoliberal globalization. Our discussion will address the following questions: racism, nationalism, social inequality, gender discrimination, migration, ethnic minorities, sexual minorities, citizenship politics, border politics, religious conflict, crony capitalism, cyber security control, platform economy, virtual network, etc. We encourage multi-disciplinary or trans-disciplinary approaches. Also, this region's inter-connected, inter-influencing, and inter-conflicting historical processes in the global context oblige us to go beyond national boundaries. Therefore, Inter-Asia Cultural Studies need transdisciplinary, transnational, and trans-local practices. Inter-Asia Cultural Studies would not take "Asia" as a totality of any pre-existing entity to retrieve or a future utopia to aim for. On the contrary, we will re-think the internal imperialism and colonialism in historical and contemporary societies. The inter-Asian perspective, therefore, offers a new mode of complex thinking. It acknowledges the inter-relational conflicts and tensions in the past histories that have left their traces and are still functioning in contemporary societies. Inter-Asia Cultural Studies must be comparative, improvisational, and critical to expose and dismantle the apparatus of the sociocultural formation behind the scenes that is still triggering the uneven development and unequal partitions within the societies. Toward the last section of this course, we invite guest lecturers from the University System of Taiwan and from abroad to address the issues covered in our class. We will also invite international scholars to offer seminars for our class. This course is a required course for the students of the International Program in Inter-Asia Cultural Study. As an elective course, it is also open to both MA and Ph.D. students in SRCS, Applied Art, Communication, Ethnology, and other disciplines. We will conduct this course in bi-lingual mode. 「亞際文化研究導論」將導引同學以批判思考的角度,重新思考亞際社會的歷史關聯以及當前問題。這門課也會討論幾個基本問題:什麼是文化研究?要採取什麼樣的研究方法?進行亞際文化研究的核心目標與問題意識是什麼? 我們將納入幾個對於東北亞、東南亞、南亞等地區密切相關的重要歷史環節,包括:殖民歷史,去殖民建國工程,冷戰結構,美國在亞太地區的影響,中國崛起對亞太地區的衝擊,新自由主義與全球化的時代。我們的討論觸及當前社會所面對的相關議題,包括:種族主義,國家主義,社會不平等,性別歧視,遷移,公民政治,邊界政治,宗教衝突,裙帶資本主義,網路治理時代,平台經濟,虛擬社群。我們鼓勵超越學科以及超越國家的視野,進行跨地連結的探討。課程進行中,我們將會邀請台聯大亞際文化研究學程其他學校的老師參與課程講授,也會規劃邀請國際學者講座。這門課是亞際文化研究學程的必修課,也開放為社文所、應藝所、傳播所、族群所、傳科所等單位等博碩士班選修課。我們將以雙語進行。我們特別鼓勵本地學生藉此機會,多認識來自不同地區的外籍學生以及他們的文化背景與社會難題。

評分方式

Assignments A. Students are expected to (1) complete all required readings before class, (2) participate in the discussion, (3) take turns to lead and facilitate discussion in the class, and (4) submit four by-weekly two-page journals (1500-2000 words) on the issues that concern or interest them, and (5) a final term project with four exercises. B. Students can form study groups (4-5 people per group) for the presentation to lead discussions. The group responsible for the report is expected to present with PPT and provide additional materials on current conditions, artistic works, and film clips to facilitate the discussion. Cases of students' home countries are especially welcome. C. The final paper should be a research paper (ranging from 4000-6000 words in English and 6000-8000 words in Chinese) on a chosen topic related to their research projects. I expect doctoral students to submit a more extensive paper. The final term paper can be a continuation or an extension of the reading journal. Therefore, it is strongly encouraged that students start to conceive the topic of their final project from the beginning of this course. To complete this term project, students will follow the steps of four exercises: (1) library search with working bibliography; (2) titles and thesis statements; (3) observation and analysis of guest lecturer's research question, methodology, argumentation; (4) oral presentation in the final colloquium. Titles and thesis statements should be submitted by the 10th week after individual conferences with the instructor. We will arrange oral presentations in the form of a colloquium in the 17th and 18th week, and the final revised paper will be due two weeks after the oral presentation. By-weekly Response: 30% Participation/Discussion: 30% Final Project: 40%

Paulo Freire’s Pedagogy of the Oppressed. How do we begin to ask questions about our current conditions? What caused the present conflicts and inequalities? What went wrong with our national historical narrative and local education? How do we start our research projects? 2. How do we begin to ask questions concerning historical archive, education, the law, and the general mentality? How do we detect the operative mechanism from the traces of visuality? 3. Did other countries also go through similar historical processes as the 1965-1966 massacre in Indonesia during the Cold War Era? How did the government account for the historical trauma? How do people remember the past? What are the lasting impacts on the societies? 討論議題: 1. Paulo Freire的沈默文化以及研究者如何提問。我們如何開始面對當前處境開始提出問題?什麼促成了眼前的各種衝突與不平等?我們的歷史敘事與本地教育出了什麼問題?要如何開始進行我們的研究計畫?如何發展在地性的問題意識與批判自覺? 2. 我們如何開始面對歷史檔案、教育、法律、大眾心態,提出問題?我們如何從視覺性的痕跡辨識與分析其背後運作的邏輯? 3. 冷戰時期印尼1965-1966的大屠殺,是否也在其他亞洲地區發生過?政府如何呈現這個歷史創傷?人們如何記憶這個歷史創傷?對於當地社會發生了什麼後續的影響?

第 16 週	UST Clusters 政治大學\|歷史與媒介 Lecture 1: Conceptualizing Childhood in Modern China Lecturer: Jack Neubauer Abstract: In this class session, we will discuss the significance of children in modern Chinese history from the late nineteenth century to the present. We will follow two intertwined historical threads. On the one hand, we will examine how adults sought to transform China through its children, focusing on topics such as education, child welfare, children’s literature, and family reform. On the other hand, we will analyze how Chinese young people claimed new social and political identities as students, “little teachers,” cultural ambassadors, “little Red Guards,” and activists. We will also grapple with the methodological and theoretical challenges of constructing histories of children and childhood. How can historians use “age”—and its intersections with gender, race, and class—as a “useful category of historical analysis” to illuminate the particular historical experiences of young people? And is it possible to recover the perspectives of children in the past if we only encounter their “voices” in historical sources through multiple levels of mediation? By considering these issues in the specific context of modern Chinese history, we will grapple with the possibilities and problems of conceptualizing modern Chinese childhood beyond the confines of imposed Western models and inherited traditions. Jack Neubauer (倪墨杰) is an assistant professor in the Department of History at National Chengchi University. His research focuses on modern Chinese and global history, with particular interests in humanitarianism, childhood and youth, migration, and cultural diplomacy. His research has been supported by grants from the Social Sciences Research Council, Fulbright, and Taiwan’s National Science and Technology Council. He received his PhD from Columbia University in 2019.

The conception of modern love emerged from the late 19th century in East Asia, coincided with the civilization and nation-building discourses, it became a strong mediator for the reconfiguration of modern social relationships, especially the intimate ones. Through the investigation of social and literary discourses on romantic love in colonial Taiwan and Korea, I discover a modern formation of love, which structures an emancipation-oppression mechanism, within which people are set into a compulsion to liberate spiritual love, and, at the same time, repress sexual desire. I term the above situation “love unconscious,” with which people simultaneously justify self and discriminate others in the name of love. This colonial legacy of modern love defines the situation of “contested love” in contemporary Taiwan and South Korea sexual movements. This lecture seeks to unpack the tangled geographies of love/sexuality, capitalism, nationalism, and colonialism, and to approach the decolonization of knowledge production of love and sexuality. 陳佩甄Eno Pei Jean Chen is an assistant professor of Taiwanese Literature at the National Chengchi University. She received her PhD degree from the Dept. of Asian Studies, Cornell University in May 2016. Her first book Cultural Politics of Love: Modern Sexuality in Colonial Taiwan and Korea (2023), offers a new cultural history of colonial world order through inter-referencing Taiwanese and Korean construction of modern love and sexuality, and their historical responses to Western and Japanese imperialism. Her current book project Cold War Feelings: Politics of Gender and Affect in 1950-1980s Taiwan and South Korea, focuses on the legacies of colonialism and the cold war ideology of gender normalization and emotional regimes in postwar Taiwan and South Korea.

第 18 週	1:00~3:00 演講主題:QGIS Workshop 人文渴望科技?地理資訊系統入門工作坊講者:吳杰恩\|台大地理系博士候選人演講摘要: 對於人文社會學科來說,若能將所觀察到的各種現象在地圖上進行視覺化,以空間的角度來切入,也許能使議題有更完整的呈現,說出更有趣的故事,甚至在研究上產生不同的洞見。在本次約兩個小時的小型工作坊當中,我們預計會以QGIS軟體為工具,前半段時間從常見的空間資料類型、座標格式與軟體操作介面等這些多數初次接觸空間資訊的使用者經常產生混淆的地方開始談起,建立對於地理資訊系統的基本概念。後半段的時間,則會進行幾種地圖的講解與實作,並且練習如何在地圖上增添文字註記等輔助說明,最後將實作成果輸出成一張完整的地圖。而因為能實際演練的功能有限,最後也會針對線上的相關圖資與學習資源做一些簡單的整理與分享,以利參與者後續的自主增能! Lecture Topic: QGIS Workshop Humanities Craving Technology? Introduction to Geographic Information Systems Workshop Lecture Summary: For the humanities and social sciences, visualizing various observed phenomena on a map and approaching them from a spatial perspective could lead to a more comprehensive presentation of issues, telling more interesting stories, and even generating different insights in research. In this approximately two-hour mini-workshop, we plan to use QGIS software as a tool. In the first half, we will start with common spatial data types, coordinate formats, and software interface operations, which are often confusing for first-time users of spatial information, to establish a basic understanding of geographic information systems. In the second half, we will explain and practice creating several types of maps, practice how to add textual annotations and other explanatory aids on the map, and finally produce a complete map. Since the functionality available for practical exercise is limited, we will also briefly organize and share online related maps and learning resources to facilitate the participants' subsequent self-improvement! 3:30~5:30 期末報告 Final term project forum
第 19 週	巴勒斯坦電影放映及論壇 * Will this world ever be the same? A Palestinian film program with Qais Assali, Shuruq Harb & May Marei Monday, January 15 2-3pm: film screening 3-4:30: Q&A with the filmmakers “We cannot divide time into distinct crises when they exist simultaneously in the body.” ⎯ @palestinewritingworkshop on Instagram We are reflecting what the Korean American poet Cathy Park Hong ruminates in Minor Feelings: “at what cost do I have this life? At what toll have I been granted this safety here? [...] I didn’t live through any of it, but I’m still a descendant of those who had no time to recover; who had no time, nor permission, to reflect.” We are also thinking on and expanding some of the questions the Palestinian poet Mahmoud Darwish raises in Memory for Forgetfulness: what are the meanings of exile and loss? What is one’s role in a time of war? And what is the relationship of writing and filmmaking (time & memory) to history (remembering is exactly a mode of forgetting)? This short film screening brings together⎯ with love and rage⎯works by the Palestinian filmmakers/artists Qais Assali, Shuruq Harb & May Marei, in the hope of offering a desire or an energy for the audience to continually ask questions, to think, to act and to imagine another world is possible. ⎯ organized by Hong-Kai Wang 王虹凱「這個世界會永遠如此嗎?」巴勒斯坦電影放映/映後會,與 Qais Assali、Shuruq Harb 和 May Marei 的對話 1/15(一) 2-3pm:電影放映會 3-4:30:映後會:與電影導演的問與答 “當各種危機同時存在於身體中時,我們無法將時間劃分為不同的危機。” ⎯文字引自Instagram 上的 @palestinewritingworkshop 我們正在反思韓裔美國詩人洪朴凱西(Cathy Park Hong)在《我受傷,故而我存在》(Minor Feelings)中所思索的:“我用什麼代價獲得了這樣的生活?我以何種代價獲得了這樣的安全......我並沒有經歷前人經歷過的,但我仍然是那些沒有時間去復原的人的後代;他們沒有時間,也沒有被允許去反省。” 我們也在思考和擴延巴勒斯坦詩人馬哈茂德·達爾維什在《為了遺忘的記憶》(Memory for Forgetfulness)中提出的一些問題:流亡和失落的意義是什麼?在戰爭時期,作為一個人可以扮演什麼樣的的角色?而寫作和拍片(時間和記憶)與歷史(記憶正是一種遺忘的方式)的關係是什麼? 懷着愛與憤怒之情,這次的短片放映匯集了巴勒斯坦電影導演/藝術家 Qais Assali、Shuruq Harb 和 May Marei 的作品,希望能够為觀眾提供一種渴望或能量,可以持續提出問題、思考、行動,並想像另一個世界是可能的。 ⎯策畫人王虹凱(Hong-Kai Wang) * symposium “Perspectives on Palestine: Dialogues on History, Humanity, and Hope”. Date and Time: Jan 15, 2024 (Monday) 17:00 – 19:30 Venue: Humanities Building 3 (人社三館) Speakers and Panelists: Alain Brossat, Professor of Philosophy, Paris 8 University, France Farid Alattas, Professor of Sociology, National University of Singapore, Singapore Ruba Salih, Professor of Anthropology, University of Bologna, Italy Michael Furmanovsky, Professor of Popular Culture Studies, Ryukoku University, Japan 研討會:巴勒斯坦觀點:歷史、人性與希望的對話日期: 2024/1/15日(一) 時間: 17:00 – 19:30 地點: 陽明交大光復校區人社三館(教室未定) 講者和與談人: 阿蘭·布羅薩特(Alain Brossat),法國巴黎第八大學哲學教授法里德·阿拉塔斯(Farid Alattas),新加坡國立大學社會學教授魯巴·薩利赫(Ruba Salih),意大利波隆那大學人類學教授邁克爾·弗曼諾夫斯基(Michael Furmanovsky),日本龍谷大學大眾文化研究教授 Event Overview (BLURB for the symposium) 活動概述(研討會簡介) “There is no flag large enough to cover the shame of killing innocent people.” – Howard Zin “沒有任何旗幟能大到可掩蓋殺害無辜人民的恥辱。” – 霍華德.辛 This symposium, "Perspectives on Palestine: Dialogues on History, Humanity, and Hope", dives into the urgent examination of the dire political and humanitarian situation in Palestine, particularly surrounding the Israeli military assault on the Gaza Strip that unfolded subsequent to the "Al-Aqsa" operation conducted by Hamas on October 7, 2023. The bombardment unleashed by Israel through land, air, and sea has ruthlessly targeted Gaza's population, inflicting catastrophic consequences with approximately 18,000 casualties, predominantly among women and children. Alarming estimates from UNRWA indicate that a million people have been displaced, precipitating a collapse in the health sector and giving rise to an unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe. In the face of such devastation, we cannot turn a blind eye to the human toll on innocent lives. We strive to foster an unwavering sense of empathy, kindle the flames of compassion, and instill a genuine desire for the well-being of every individual ensnared by the ongoing situation. Together, let us confront the harsh realities and pave the way for a future where hope triumphs over despair. 「巴勒斯坦觀點:歷史、人性與希望的對話」研討會的目的是直接切入來檢視巴勒斯坦危急的政治和人道情況,特別聚焦在以色列軍事對加薩地區的襲擊,這是繼哈馬斯於2023年10月7日進行的「阿克薩」(Al-Aqsa)行動後展開的。以色列通過陸、空和海上的轟炸無情地瞄準加薩的百姓,造成災難性後果,造成約18,000人傷亡,其中主要是婦女和兒童。聯合國難民救援機構令人震驚地估計有一百萬人被迫流離失所,導致了醫療部門的崩潰,引發了前所未有的人道災難。面對這樣的破壞,我們不能對無辜生命所承受的人間悲劇視而不見。我們對每位陷入困境的個人抱以堅定的同理心,點燃慈悲之火,且真誠關懷之。讓我們攜手面對殘酷的現實,為「希望戰勝絕望」鋪出一條道路。
