Conference Agenda:
Addressing the paradigm shift beyond the conventional model of area studies, this conference takes Taiwan as a product and site of relations in terms of geography, culture, and politics. As a hub of transculturation, Taiwan acquires its changing identity in history through its geographical location vis-à-vis other societies and continents, oceanic crossings of indigenous and other cultures, and the geopolitical formations of empires and nations. For centuries, the island has been at the crossroads for traders and settlers, colonizers and missionaries, and so forth, enjoying a long history of interaction with other cultures near and far. The conference hopes to explore new avenues for Taiwan studies by using international and comparative approaches, not only to examine Taiwan’s many relationalities, material as well as symbolic, over a long historical and wide geographical span but also to view Taiwan in comparison with other cultures in terms of its relations within the early globalization processes, the crucial China-Japan-U.S. triangle, or situated in relation to Southeast Asia, the Pacific Islands, or even the seemingly remote European nations.
