Book A chronology of 19th century writings on Formosa from the Chinese Repository  the Chinese Recorder  and the China Review

Download or read book A chronology of 19th century writings on Formosa from the Chinese Repository the Chinese Recorder and the China Review written by Chang Hsiu-Jung and published by Eculture Company Limited. This book was released on 2022-06-01 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 十五世紀末,歐洲人開始駕著船,帶著航海家、冒險家、傳教士、商人、軍人等航向不知名的世界各地。影響所及非三言兩 語可以道盡。台灣的地理位置正處於歐洲人由印度洋東航太平洋尤其到遠東的必經之地。1544年葡萄牙航海家從台灣附近的海域 遙望這個連綿青山綠水的海島,給了它「Ilha Formosa」(美麗島)後,Formosa遂成為西方人對台灣的稱呼了。從此也影響了台灣 歷史的發展。 在歐洲對外擴張及殖民政策影響下,十七世紀荷蘭人(1624−1662)與西班牙人(1626−1642)先後在台灣南部、北部佔領並 統治過台灣。之後,世界霸權由英國人取代,而中國在經過清初盛世後衰象逐漸出現。所以,英國逐漸取代荷蘭、西班牙、葡萄 牙在遠東積極擴張勢力尋求打開中國門戶,終於爆發中英鴉片戰爭(1840)開啟了中國淪為世界列強的次殖民地國家的一頁。與 此並行發展的是西方人積極瞭解並介紹東方的民族、語言、習俗、歷史、地理、宗教等等給自己同胞,便於傳教、經商、辦 理外交甚至統治。所以在鴉片戰爭前後於中國境內或香港等地創辦了幾份英文報紙、期刊。其中包括The Chinese Repository (1832 −1851), The Chinese Recorder and Missionary Journal (1867−1941)及The China Review (1872−1906)。 三種刊物均創刊於十九世紀。內容上,The Chinese Recorder比較偏向基督新教在中國的傳教活動報導與討論,其他兩種除了時 勢報導外,有比較多學術性的研究專文。三種刊物的體例不僅彼此間不同,各刊物的體例長期下來亦各自有所增減。無論如何, 這三種刊物為後世留下西方人以英文書寫當時有關中國或鄰近地區的紀實;也留下十九世紀西方人對這些地區各方面的研究成 果,而且從他們選擇的題材與用字遣詞也可觀察到他們對東方民族與文化所抱持的意識型態。然而,三種刊物有一共同現象及與 當時中國行政版圖各省作比較(包括1895年台灣割讓日本到1900年為止),Formosa的報導及研究專文佔著相當大的比重。似乎在 十九世紀西方人心目中,Formosa所代表的是一個非常特別而單獨的一個地理區域。本書即是此三種刊物中有關Formosa的相關 報導及研究專文的集子。為免浪費人力與紙張,三種刊物中有四篇G. Taylor的文章被G. Dudbridge收入Aborigines of South Taiwan in the 1880s , 另一篇Rev. W. Campbell,“The Early Dutch Missionin Formosa”是作者的An Account of Missionary Success in the Island of Formosa 的第一章,所以這五篇不再重覆編入本集子。 三本刊物中Formosa的資料,大致分為專題性文章,旅行或航行錄,關於Formosa的出版品介紹或書評,通訊(Correspon dence)與日誌(Journal)等四類。內容包括:台、澎的地理,台灣的歷史、物產,國姓爺的生平,原住民的族群、語言、宗教、迷信、醫病方式,台灣沿海發生的船難及交涉,天災與動亂,中法戰爭(1884)甲午戰爭(1894−95)期間及戰後台灣的狀況,基督 新教在台灣的傳教活動及遭遇的困難、信徒人數的統計、淡水偕醫館(Mackay Mission Hospital)與牛津學堂(Oxford college)的成 立與年度報告,有關Formosa的新書出版訊息與書評等等,堪稱包羅萬象可補台灣史研究資料不足。 The Chinese Repository, The Chinese Recorder及The China Review僅僅是十九世紀西方人探討東方之刊物的一部份。個人精力有 限,期待後進者能從其他西方刊物著手將Formosa的研究資料編輯出來,讓研究十九世紀台灣史的資料更集中,研究成果更客 觀、更豐碩。

Book Multicultural Challenges and Redefining Identity in East Asia

Download or read book Multicultural Challenges and Redefining Identity in East Asia written by Nam-Kook Kim and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-15 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Globalization and increased migration have brought both new opportunities and new tensions to traditional East Asian societies. Multicultural Challenges and Redefining Identity in East Asia draws together a wide range of distinguished local scholars to discuss multiculturalism and the changing nature of social identity in East Asia. Regional specialists review specific events and situations in China, Korea, Japan, Thailand, Vietnam, Singapore, Taiwan, Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Philippines to provide a focus on life as it is lived at the local level whilst also tracing macro discourses on the national issues affected by multiculturalism and identity. The contributors look at the uneven multicultural development across these different countries and how to bridge the gap between locality and universality. They examine how ethnic majorities and minorities can achieve individual rights, exert civic responsibility, and explain how to construct a deliberative framework to make sustainable democracy possible. This book considers the emergence of a new cross-national network designed to address multicultural challenges and imagines an East Asian community with shared values of individual dignity and multicultural diversity. With strong empirical support it puts forward a regulative ideal by which a new paradigm for multicultural coexistence and regional cooperation can be realized.

Download or read book Wu Han Historian written by Mary G. Mazur and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 1955-01-01 with total page 531 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This biography spotlights the life of a key Chinese intellectual, Wu Han, well known in China as a major twentieth-century historian and democratic political figure. World attention was drawn to Wu in the mid-1960s as the first of Mao Zedong's targets in the Cultural Revolution. The biography locates Wu in the rapid changes in the social and political environment of his times, from the early years of the twentieth century until his death in prison in 1969. With Wu Han's life as the focus, the narrative deals with the momentous changes in Chinese society and government during the last century. Mazur bases the biographical account on extensive interviewing in China, and penetrates a great deal deeper than the conventional conception of the shift from Nationalist to Communist regimes in the PRC. The complex life of Wu Han is of interest to specialist and non-specialist readers alike, both because of the broad relevance of the historical and political issues he and those around him confronted in the context of the times in China and because of the direct narrative biographical style revealing the conflicts and depth in the human situation. Mazur relates Wu Han's life to the momentous changes and conflicts surging through Chinese society, with special emphasis on the complex role intellectuals have played during the course of change.

Book Tibet and Nationalist China s Frontier

Download or read book Tibet and Nationalist China s Frontier written by Hsaio-ting Lin and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2011-01-01 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this ground-breaking study, Hsiao Ting Lin demonstrates that the Chinese frontier was the subject neither of concerted aggression on the part of a centralized and indoctrinated Chinese government nor of an ideologically driven nationalist ethnopolitics. Instead, Nationalist sovereignty over Tibet and other border regions was the result of rhetorical grandstanding by Chiang Kai-shek and his regime. Tibet and Nationalist China's Frontier makes a crucial contribution to the understanding of past and present China-Tibet relations. A counterpoint to erroneous historical assumptions, this book will change the way Tibetologists and modern Chinese historians frame future studies of the region.

Book Marionette Theatre in Quanzhou

Download or read book Marionette Theatre in Quanzhou written by Robin Ruizendaal and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2006-05-01 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the 1990's to 2003 the author followed four marionette theatre companies in the Quanzhou area. Based on this unique fieldwork the author describes both the theatrical and social context of the marionette theatre. He shows it as a complex entity in which elements of religion, ritual, language, history and social structure all come together. The study includes an analysis of the companies' organization, libretti, music and puppets, as well as of the social and religous context of the performances and their ritual aspects. Its important insights into the functioning of a traditional form of theatre in the economically advanced region of southern Fujian provide a fascinating window on contemporary China.

Book Historical Dictionary of the Chinese Civil War

Download or read book Historical Dictionary of the Chinese Civil War written by Christopher R. Lew and published by Scarecrow Press. This book was released on 2013-07-29 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This second edition of the Historical Dictionary of the Chinese Civil War studies the longer, broader war and its chronology carefully tracks the major events. The introduction then provides a broad overview, describing the contending forces, and showing how the Communists come out on top. The details, and these are crucial, are laid out in over 200 cross-referenced dictionary entries dealing with the opposing forces and parties, the major campaigns and battles, the Long March, and of course the leadership on both sides. This book, one of few such in English, provides a very solid basis for study, but that can be accomplished more effectively by consulting the titles listed in an extensive bibliography.
