概述

課程概述與目標: This course aims to shed light on the paradoxical dynamics of 'trans-border' activities and the concept of 'area'. While the notion of crossing borders and envisioning regions beyond fixed territories is often associated with progress and liberation, history tells a far more complex reality. 'Trans-border' endeavors within designated 'areas' have frequently been intertwined with darker facets, including colonialism by settlers who traverse borders and military interventions disguised as regional peace and development accounts. Centered on Asia as our primary focus, this course examines 'trans-border' activities within this region across three distinct time periods: 'Late 19th century-1940s', 'WWII to postwar era', and 'postwar era'. The first week will establish a basic framework by exploring recent scholarship regarding the concept of 'area' and potential approaches for reevaluating 'Asia'. Weeks 2-6 will delve into the ideologies and initiatives associated with ‘(Pan)Asianism’, exploring its interplay with Western imperialism, imperial-regional-world orders, Pan-Asian practices, as well as bloc economy in Europe and Asia. Weeks 7-10 will analyze different forms and mobilities of border-crossing during WWII in terms of international relations, colonialism, and the so-called ‘Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere’, including case studies of scientific research group, trans-pacific diaspora, wartime repatriation, offering insights into dynamics distinct from but related to imperial expansion. In Weeks 11-14, we will explore the transformation of the practices of 'area' and reflections in the aftermath of the collapse of empires during the postwar era. Topics such as federalism, 'Afro-Asian' solidarity and 'the U.S. involvement in the Asia-Pacific region' will be examined. Weeks 15 and 16 are dedicated to an overall review and open discussions. We will revisit the initial inquiry into 'trans-border' and 'area' derived from recent scholarship to unveil its significance today and to generate fresh perspectives on related topics. 本課程的目標是透過「跨境」及「區域」這一組關鍵字,以亞洲為節點回顧「19世紀後半-1940年代」、「戰爭時期至戰後」、「戰後」等三個時期的政治・經濟・社會構想,掌握不同時期的國際或經貿關係、社會連帶中關鍵的思維模式。在特殊的時空條件下,跨越一族、一地、一國之固定界線,與概念上更為自由廣闊的「區域」構想結合之思想與行動,在「跨境」的同時經常產生新的侷限乃至困境。歷史上不同時期與帝國的形成、擴張、解體之過程相呼應的「區域」構想因此提供了我們以不同角度探問特定時代的界線及曲折矛盾的線索。以近年對當前的 “Area” 之認識光譜及政策實踐提出質疑的研究為契機,本課程2-6週關注泛稱為亞洲主義(Asianism)的思想與行動中,分別以西洋及西方帝國主義、帝國-世界-地域、「五族協和」及汎亞(Pan-Asia)等路徑展開的亞洲構想。7-10週以戰爭時期至戰後的區域秩序之構想為主題,探究與帝國的領土擴張相互交織的跨太平洋科學研究、大東亞共榮圈、殖民跨洋離散、戰爭動員・復員等「跨境」動態。11-14週聚焦於二戰帝國秩序解體後「區域」構想的轉化,反思「亞細研」(Ajiken)、聯邦主義、亞非連帶及「亞太+美國」等議題,探問戰後新型態的亞洲政治及經濟秩序構想之意義。最後兩週將討論當前「區域」觀點的有效性及知識上的可能出路,並針對前面週次各種因「跨境」而與「區域」相連的思想與行動進行綜合討論。
