Topic: 日本殖民時期的文學家《櫻之聲》黃明川導演座談
Screening: Documentary--Sound of Sakura (poets
Director : HUANG Ming-chuan
Place: F326人文電影館
Introduction: A group of Taiwanese who were born before World War II still insist on writing poetry and haiku in Japanese language. Director HUANG Ming-chuan has been documenting them for 22 years since 1994. Unlike Korea, another previous colony of Japan, Taiwan retains emotional and cultural ties with Japan even after the War. Over 40 years, these poets and writers get together discreetly under the ban of speaking and publishing in Japanese. More than half a century later, despite aging, they remain using Japanese in the final years of their lives.
This film gathers memories of local Taiwanese who have been ruled by several colonial powers since the Dutch arrived on the island in late 17th century. And the path to obtain their own voice became a long way struggle, and so as the national identity.

The Cold War Politics of Memory: The Indonesian Killings of 1965-66 and the Historical Formations of Political Exiles in Home
Speaker: Beni Hutajulu (Inter-Asia Cultural Studies Graduate in Gender/Sexuality Studies)
Respondent: Naifei Ding; Chien-ting Lin
Abstract
In this lecture, I will discuss the Indonesian exile’s trajectories and their significance in understanding the political formation and the intergenerational memory in the novel Home by Leila Salikha Chudori. Following the exiles’ trajectories during the Cold War period, this study tries to address the question of how the political representation of remembering and forgetting challenges the New Order narratives that later became the dominant memory in Indonesian society and history. By engaging the politics of memory concerning the exiles’ perspectives, my analysis ultimately investigates the exile’s experiences to understand the complexities of the global political movement in the 1960s, and the memory transmission across a generation that impacted the identity construction amid the anti-communist movement in Indonesia. I contend that the novel offers an alternative historical understanding of the political contradictions entailed by the 1960’s massacre rather than rehearsing the familiar Cold War ideological divides. Through the Indonesian exiles and their diasporic experiences, we are led to see national politics from a global and transnational perspective, from which we may also consider the literary revisit of historical violence as a renewed starting point for imagining third world liberation.
Keywords: Cold War, Indonesian Exiles, Mass Killing, Politics of Memory, Identity Formations

Topic: Literary Debates and the Politics of Memory: Toward an Inter-Asia Perspectives文學論戰與記憶政治：亞際視野
Lecturers：
- 王智明 Chih-ming Wang
- 陳瑞樺 Jui-Hua Chen
This lecture "Literary Debates and the Politics of Memory: Towards Inter-Asia Perspectives" is based on the collection of essays of the same title, which attempts to cross national and linguistic borders to revisit the important literary debates in East Asia to reveal a state of division that conditions East Asian modernity. These literary debates invites us to reconsider and recontextualize such categories as the "national," the "citizen," the "native," and the "local" to approach and make sense of the problematics and structures of feelings that are similar but differently articulated in East Asia. Here we understand literary history more in the sense of literature in history, in which literature is regarded less as the expression of genius and more as a singular response to society, politics, nation, and the world. Literature in history is interested less in the evolution of literary styles than the historical function that literature operates as a form of thought; it is thus not just an inquiry into the past, but also the present and the future. Because the inquiries of the present and the imagination of the future are conditioned by ideological divisions, literary debates provides a useful entry into the constellation of thoughts, allowing us to better grasp the key contradictions in a society. The "national," the "citizen," the "native," and the "local" respectively correspond the central paradoxes in Korea, Japan, Taiwan, and Malaysia as these communities entered modernity. While these terms may not be made equivalent, they provide a system of inter-referencing that can help us to enter each country and imagine an "inter-Asian" dialogue, to understand how our conflicts differ from each other and share a similar condition of possibility. Thus, we will be enabled to ask: why was our conflicts not expressed in another way? In translingual practices, how may these terms retain their local specificites and significances to enable mutual understanding? How may these terms unsettle the presumptions of the national in our modernities and open up a space for inter-Asian imagination? What historical conditions constituted this inter-Asian imagination, enabling us to discover, understand, and perhaps change the "history of the present"?
《文學論戰與記憶政治：亞際視野》嘗試跨越國家和語言的邊界，重訪文學史上的重要論戰，以突出東亞特有的分斷狀態，作為我們理解自身與彼此的資源。這包括借用「民族」、「國民」、「鄉土」，「本土」等詞彙去嫁接東亞內部不同，但相近的問題意識與情感結構，並且將文學放回歷史中來理解，而不是抽空歷史來理解文學。本書嘗試的不是注重流派演變的文學史書寫，而要在歷史中理解文學之於社會、政治、家國和世界的應對、作用和抱負。在此，文學史研究不是關於流派變化的推演，而是指向了歷史，以及作用於歷史上的種種力量；它是對現在的追問和未來的想像。正因為追問和想像是分歧的，受到了意識形態的左右，所以論戰的形式更有效地聚合了不同的立場和關切，能夠幫助我們掌握社會中的核心矛盾。民族、國民、鄉土和本土，分別對應著韓國，日本、台灣與馬來西亞，在進入與面對現代性時所遭遇的重大衝突。作為論戰的焦點，它們是在地社會表達核心矛盾的方式；雖然無法相互置換或等同，透過並列和參照，以及追索各地文學思想和社會脈動的交流與交錯，它們可以成為我們進入彼此社會的便道，作為理解他我異同的指標。由此，我們得以追問：為什麼我們的社會矛盾不以別的方式表達？透過翻譯，我們如何保留這些詞語在各自語境中的特殊意涵和參照結構，從而撐開一個可以分享心情、相互理解的亞際空間，用「東亞」的想像去打開國家或民族文學的預設？這個「亞際」的想像又是在什麼樣的歷史條件下得以存在，引領我們去發現、理解和改變「現在的歷史」（history of the present）？

Topic 1: Cinematic Space of Taiwan New Cinema
Lecturer: Ru-Shou Robert CHEN (National Chengchi University)
This presentation will begin with a brief introduction on the creation of cinematic space since the birth of cinema in 1895. It will then examine how Taiwan New Cinema constructs unique spaces which reflect the real milieu of Taiwan, while at the same time representing “another” Taiwan unrecognizable even to the domestic audience. By referring to the article “Of Other Spaces” by Michel Foucault, this presentation will identify different spaces found in Taiwan New Cinema and analyze their relations with real spaces. This might help students to be more sensitive on the concept of space (and time) while watching and studying movies.
Suggested readings:
- Michel Foucault, “Of Other Spaces: Utopias and Heterotopias” (1984)
- Ozlem Demirkan, “The Representation of Heterotopias in Cinema” (2018)
- Ming-yeh T. Rawnsley, “Taiwan New Cinema” (2009)
Short Bio:
Robert CHEN is a professor at the Department of Radio-TV. He teaches Film Theories, Taiwan Cinema, Everyday Life Experiences and Practices, among other courses. His recent publication includes the section of Taiwan Cinema in Chapter “Media Ownership and Concentration in Taiwan,” in Who Owns the World’s Media? (2016), and a conference presentation on Drive My Car (2022, to be published in 2023).
Topic 2: Connecting Taiwan and Asia through War
Due to the limit and the limited perspective of national history, our historical knowledge in general tends to be nation-centric, with little attention given to the historical connection across and beyond nation-states. This talk aims to re-define Taiwan’s position within “Asia”, by looking at historical forces that had worked to connect Taiwan with different parts of Asia throughout the 20th century. Specifically, this talk will re-examine the Second World War and its impact on ordinary people from Taiwan, Southeast Asia, and the Pacific. Stories of these common people will lead us to further understand and better appreciate how closely connected Taiwan and Asia had been in wartime hostility and mobilization, postwar reconstruction of international order, and war memories.
