This issue is entitled, “Special Issue on the New Generation Writers,” and is intended to locate these works within the context of the development of Taiwan literature so that we may observe the special qualities they have brought to literary modulation and generational change. We have also attempted to summarize in stages the imagination/composition that this new generation has projected on a period of history and on their generation. 關於台灣新世代作家，本輯選譯的作品，只限於短篇小說。新世代小說的特點，諸如鄉土題材、家族故事、俚俗人物、民俗儀典、地誌景觀、比喻修辭等的敘述方式和表現技巧，與前行代的書寫類型迥然不同。出生於1970年後的台灣新世代作家在當今文壇，泰半已卓然成家，且持續攀登創作的峰頂。本輯定題為「新世代作家小說專輯」，即在於將這些作品放置於台灣文學發展脈絡裡，來觀看文學演化與世代流變的特徵，並嘗試階段性地總理新世代投射一個時代與世代的想像╱書寫。

Book excerpt: This book has been specially planned to both commemorate and celebrate this milestone, and we have invited University of California, Irvine, professor Bert Scruggs to serve as guest editor to assist with its preparation and realization. The issue is divided into two parts: the first part is dedicated to a review of the publication history of the journal, its manner of selecting works to publish, as well as its contributions to the scholarly field. There are also research essays that consider the works chosen for translation themselves. The second part of the issue commemorates my retirement after more than forty years of teaching at the University of California, Santa Barbara. The main objectives of my work have been the English translation and introduction of Taiwan Literature. We have, therefore, included articles that consider my poetry, English translation, and scholarly research. 創刊於1996年的《台灣文學英譯叢刊》持續了二十五年，共出版48集。我們特地策劃這一紀念專輯，以示慶祝。我們特地邀請爾灣加州大學台灣文學教授古芃擔任策劃和執行的客座編輯。這一專輯包括兩個部分：第一部分是關於《叢刊》出版史的回顧、選譯作品的特色、對學術界的貢獻和評價、以及針對譯介作品的研究論文。另一部分是關於以英文翻譯和介紹台灣文學為宗旨的創刊者杜國清的詩作英譯和研究論文。 文學翻譯只是文化研究的基礎。《叢刊》的出版，只是為台灣文學走向世界鋪路的奠基工程。二十多年來的努力，多少已完成階段性的任務。希望這份學術刊物，今後能有更多台灣文學的年輕學者和譯者參與，大家同心協力，朝向台灣文學走向世界的共同目標，以新的面貌接棒持續下去。

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Apart from “new poetry” composed in the vernacular language, the tradition of classical poetry originating in China has also been maintained in Taiwan. We cannot ignore the fact that those poets who continued to compose classical verse, as well as the activities of their poetry societies, are yet another aspect of the diversity of Chinese-language poetic development in Taiwan which at the same time has unique local characteristics. Professor Huang's organization of the issue includes an introductory essay, entitled “Poems that Speak of Taiwan—Speaking of Taiwan Poetry” in which she gives a brief summary of the historical background and special character of the development of classical poetry in Taiwan. According to her careful plan, Professor Huang divided the poems translated for this special edition into six thematic sections: 1) Taiwan and Taiwanese in the Interstices of History (6 poems) 2) Crossing the Ocean to Taiwan, Putting Down Roots that Grow Along with Chinese Culture (5 poems) 3) Poems on the Aesthetics of Natural Landscape Scenery (6 poems) 4) Climate, Natural Resources, and Food (6 poems) 5) Folk Customs, Festivals, and Sacrificial Ceremony (4 poems) 6) Poems Expressing Emotions, Sentiments and Criticisms (7 poems) In the poetry selected for this issue we see the rich, expansive content of classical Chinese verse from Taiwan. That verse manifests the responses of Taiwanese poets to their times, to nature, to places and to people. It also reflects the many faces of Taiwan's specific temporal and geographical background through depictions of local experiences and the local spirit. 台灣詩歌的發展，除了以白話文創作的新詩之外，還有繼承中國古典詩歌傳統、延續不絕的古典詩歌創作者及其詩社活動，呈現出台灣漢詩發展的多樣性，同時又有其在地特色。 在黃美娥教授的策劃下，這一專輯的內容，除了詩選以外，本輯還有特地請黃教授撰寫一篇導論〈詩說台灣．說台灣詩〉，簡述台灣古典詩發展的歷史背景和主要特色。另一篇是黃教授撰寫的學術論文，〈實踐與轉化：日治時代臺灣傳統詩社的現代性體驗〉（摘譯）。關於詩選，共選31家，34首，根據題材，分成6個主題，以呈現台灣古典漢詩的特色。在題材上，反映社會和生活的開闊性和呼應歷史和時代的現代性。

This book was released on 2020-11-01 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This issue contains the verse of twenty-four poets. From 1924, when Hsieh Chun-mu first published four “Poems in Imitation,” the development of new poetry in Taiwan has a history of almost one hundred years. The roots of new poetry in Taiwan with its “twin flower bulbs,” to use the phrase coined by Chen Chien-wu, has now bloomed and borne fruit. It manifests diversified themes, and places great stress on both artistic expression and social concern. It recognizes globalization as the major trend of the times, and maintains a dynamic balance between nativist consciousness and the ensibilities of the Chinese cultural diaspora. Taiwan literature and its new poetry written in Chinese should have a place in the Chinese world community,as well as in the history of world literature. Limited by the space allowed for the journal, we could only select works related to “local” and “quotidian” writing. Yet we hope to observe through these works the manner in which the unique charm and gracefulness of contemporary poetry from Taiwan has blossomed in the garden of world literature. 這一專輯精選具有代表性的詩人二十四家。 從1924年謝春木發表「詩的模仿」四首算起，台灣新詩的發展也有將近一百年的歷史。新詩「兩個球根」在台灣已經開花結果，呈現出主題多元，創作藝術與關懷現實並重，面對全球化的時代趨勢，保持本土意識與文化離散互相呼應和抗衡。台灣文學和以華文創作的新詩，不僅在華人世界，甚至在世界文學的大花園裡，都應該占有一席之地。我們出版這一專輯，收到篇幅的限制，只能以「地方與日常」選錄相關詩作，藉以展現台灣當代詩在世界花園裡一枝獨秀的風姿。

Book excerpt: Taiwan Literature: English Translation Series, No. 50 (Special Issue on Taiwan Fiction and ‘Realism’) During the early stages of its development, Taiwan’s New Literature was intimately connected with realism. The year 2022 is the one-hundredth anniversary of fiction writing in Taiwan, and also the one-hundredth anniversary of modernist literature in the English-speaking world. For the former, this is the one-hundredth anniversary of the publication of Chui Feng’s “Where Will She Go?” For the latter, it is the one-hundredth anniversary of the publication of James Joyce’s (1882–1941) novel Ulysses, and Anglo-American writer T. S. Eliot’s (1888–1965) poem The Waste Land. When the Alphabet Lab was first established, it also paid tribute to the contribution of modernism in the development of post-war Taiwan literature. In this special fiftieth issue on “Taiwan Fiction and ‘Realism,’” we once again identify and trace out the pathways and objectives of Taiwan’s writer apostles over the past one-hundred years. 台灣新文學的發展，以追風的〈她要往何處去〉為濫觴，發表於1922年，至今剛好一百年。台灣新文學發軔時，歐美現代主義發展已達到高峰，台灣必然受到影響，可見現代主義與現實主義，在台灣的演變是與時並進的。在這一專輯的〈導言〉中，張教授將九篇小説平均分成三個階段：日治時期（1922–1945）、戰後（1945–1991）和當代（1992–），且對作品的創作背景和選錄的考量，一一加以説明。要而言之，所選譯的九篇「寫實主義」小説，題材涵蓋面廣，各以不同的歷史背景，寫實地反映出社會現實。

Download or read book Taiwanese Literature as World Literature written by Pei-yin Lin and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2022-12-15 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Owing to Taiwan's multi-ethnic nature and palimpsestic colonial past, Taiwanese literature is naturally multilingual. Although it can be analyzed through frameworks of Japanophone literature and Chinese literature, and the more provocative Sinophone literature, only through viewing Taiwanese literature as world literature can we redress the limits of national identity and fully examine writers' transculturation practice, globally minded vision, and the politics of its circulation. Throughout the colonial era, Taiwanese writers gained inspiration from global literary trends mainly but not exclusively through the medium of Japanese and Chinese. Modernism was the mainstream literary style in 1960s Taiwan, and since the 1980s Taiwanese literature has demonstrated a unique trajectory shaped jointly by postmodernism and postcolonialism. These movements exhibit Taiwanese writers' creative adaptations of world literary thought as a response to their local and trans-national reality. During the postwar years Taiwanese literature began to be more systematically introduced to world readers through translation. Over the past few decades, Taiwanese authors and their translated works have participated in global conversations, such as those on climate change, the "post-truth" era, and ethnic and gender equality. Bringing together scholars and translators from Europe, North America, and East Asia, the volume focuses on three interrelated themes – the framing and worlding ploys of Taiwanese literature, Taiwanese writers' experience of transculturation, and politics behind translating Taiwanese literature. The volume stimulates new ways of conceptualizing Taiwanese literature, demonstrates remarkable cases of Taiwanese authors' co-option of world trends in their Taiwan-concerned writing, and explores its readership and dissemination.

Book excerpt: For this special issue on “New Generation Women's Fiction from Taiwan,” we have specially invited Professor Lee Kuei Yun of the Graduate Institute of Taiwan Literature at Taiwan's Tsing Hua University to be guest editor and take responsibility for the selections. Because of space limitations it has been possible only to select twelve short stories by eleven woman writers. These writers were all born in the 1970s or later and their works were published in the year 2000 or later. Thus, they represent a period of social change in twenty-first century Taiwan and the spirit of the new generation. The introduction that we asked Professor Lee to provide is entitled “Trauma, esire, Contemporary Women's Voices.” Aside from giving a brief account of the eleven writers and their works, Professor Lee sketches “a number of writerly qualities that become perceptible… [that] represent the internal trauma, female consciousness, physical lust, cat-uman metaphors, and everyday life, etc.” In her introduction, what she particularly stresses is that the sexual desire depicted in these works exposes the internal wounds derived from private individual experience hidden away in the deepest levels of the female consciousness that are exposed for direct observation, and “… [from this] we can tease out a clear semblance of a feminine texture that reverberates with the unique sound of contemporary women's voices.” This then is one of the most important qualities of the new generation of aiwanese women's fiction. In the final analysis, trauma and writing about desire are two major themes of Taiwanese women's literature. 《台灣新世代女性小説》這一專輯，我們特地請台灣清華大學台灣文學研究所李癸雲教授擔任客座編輯，負責選稿。因受篇幅的限制，只選11位女性小説家的短篇小説12篇，作者都是1970年以後出生、其作品發表於2000年以後，反映出二十一世紀台灣社會的變動現象和新世代的精神樣貌。同時我們請李教授撰寫一篇導輪，題爲〈創傷．情慾．時代女聲〉，除了簡述11位作家及其作品之外，還勾勒出其中「隱隱浮現某些書寫特徵，關於內在創傷、女性意識、身體情慾、人與貓的互喻、日常生活等」。本輯導論〈創傷．情慾．時代女聲〉中所特別强調的是，這些作品所書寫的情慾、流露出女性意識底層所隱含的個人私密經驗的内在創傷，而正視創傷，「藉此梳理出形貌清晰的女性肌理，迴盪出『時代女聲』的特殊音色」，成爲新世代台灣女性小説的一大特徵。

Book excerpt: Yeh Shih-t'ao (1925-2008) was an outstanding Taiwanese novelist, literary critic and historian of Taiwan literature. In the history of the development of contemporary Taiwan literature he occupies an incomparably important position. As a literary historian, Yeh's magnum opus is An Outline History of Taiwan Literature (hereafter Outline). It is a comprehensive account that treats the subject of Taiwan literature from the perspective of Taiwan. Although it is only an outline, the book has very special significance in the history of Taiwan literature. 葉石濤（1925-2008）是台灣傑出的小説家、文學批評家、和台灣文學史家，在近代台灣文學發展史上具有無比重要的地位。作爲文學史家，他的巨著當推《台灣文學史綱》。這是以台灣的觀點所闡述的第一本通史。雖然只是綱要，這本書在台灣文學史上，具有特殊的意義，主要在於以台灣人的觀點詮釋台灣文學的歷史發展。

Book excerpt: 白先勇，可以說是當代華文作家中，不論是在台灣、在中國、在東南亞、在其他各地的華人世界中，最負盛名、最受肯定的作家。他的文學活動、創作成就和作家地位，與台灣文學的關係，是一個值得探討的現象，也是本叢刊這一專輯譯介他的作品的主要原因和探討的主題。 這一專輯，由白先勇提供尚未翻譯成英文的小說，共五篇。其中收錄在《紐約客》中的有四篇：〈謫仙怨〉、〈骨灰〉、〈Danny Boy〉、〈Tea for Two〉。加上1971年作者與夏志清合譯的〈謫仙記〉，以及1980年作者與尹佩霞合譯的〈夜曲〉，《紐約客》一書中的六篇，以此完結。此外另有一篇近作，〈Silent Night〉，該是屬於《紐約客》系列，最初發表於《聯合報》「當代小說特區」（2015年12月24-25日）。 除了五篇小說之外，我們另外選譯了四篇散文，代表四個不同的題材，呈現在評論方面的不同面向：對《現代文學》當初創刊的回顧、五四以來中國小說缺乏藝術經營的問題、小說與電影的關係，以及一篇對新詩的評論—白先勇知道台灣詩壇壁壘分明，向來不涉及新詩的評論，這篇〈望帝春心的哀歌—讀杜國清的《心雲集》〉，也可以看出小說家與詩人對人生愛與哀的情感書寫，自有一份戚戚然的知音共鳴。 It could be said that Pai Hsien-yung is the most renowned and broadly recognized contemporary Chinese writer, whether in Taiwan, China, Southeast Asia, or any other region of the Chinese world. His literary activities, achievements, and status as an eminent writer within the context of Taiwan literature is a phenomenon worthy of study. Therefore, we dedicate an entire issue to exploring it.

This book was released on 2014-08-26 with total page 594 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This sourcebook contains more than 160 documents and writings that reflect the development of Taiwanese literature from the early modern period to the twenty-first century. Selections include seminal essays in literary debates, polemics, and other landmark events; interviews, diaries, and letters by major authors; critical and retrospective essays by influential writers, editors, and scholars; transcripts of historical speeches and conferences; literary-society manifestos and inaugural journal prefaces; and governmental policy pronouncements that have significantly influenced Taiwanese literature.

TaiwanÕs complex history with Dutch, Spanish, and Japanese colonization; strategic geopolitical position vis-ˆ-vis China, Japan, and the United States; and status as a hub for the East-bound circulation of technological and popular-culture trends make the nation an excellent case study for a richer understanding of East Asian and modern global relations.

Download or read book Islands written by Stephen A. Royle and published by Reaktion Books. This book was released on 2014-08-15 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Charles Darwin’s enlightening voyage to the Galapagos Islands to moat-encased prisons incarcerating the world’s deadliest prisoners, islands have been sites of immense scientific, political, and creative importance. An inspiration for artists and writers, they can be lively centers of holiday revelry or remote, mysterious spots; places of escape or of exile and imprisonment. In this cultural and scientific history of these alluring, isolated territories, Stephen A. Royle describes the great variety of islands, their economies, and the animals, plants, and people who thrive on them. Royle shows that despite the view of some islands as earthly paradises, they are often beset by severe limitations in both resources and opportunities. Detailing the population loss many islands have faced in recent years, he considers how islanders have developed their homes into tourist destinations in order to combat economic instability. He also explores their exotic, otherworldly beauty and the ways they have provided both refuge and inspiration for artists, such as Paul Gauguin in Tahiti and George Orwell on the Scottish island of Jura. Filled with illustrations, Islands is a compelling and comprehensive survey of the geographical and cultural aspects of island life.
