Cíle předmětu
This module aims to provide students with a broad knowledge base to understand major issues in Taiwan's society. Because of its multifaceted cultural and ethnic mix and the complex colonial history, the module unpicks the various dimensions of the complicated social change, considers the interaction of globalization and Taiwan’s contemporary culture, and focuses on the highly charged identity politics of the postwar era. By exploring both contemporary Taiwanese society and cultural change, this course will facilitate a better understanding of the greater East Asian society and can provide an interesting reference point to think about China and Japan.
After introducing Taiwan’s historical background, there are series of in-depth units on family, gender, cultural development, language, education, popular culture, mass media, ethnicity in contemporary Taiwan. Students will develop their academic capabilities and critical thinking in the engagement with the material on a weekly basis through the student-led discussions. Furthermore, students are encouraged to further their research and analytical skills through the exploration and investigation of relevant topics based on their personal interests and academic background.
