Texto completo da fonteThis study seeks to analyse a collective and heterogeneous effort, over the past forty years, by which some of the opponents and scholars of the Chinese nationalist regime in Taiwan tried to break with a Chinese historiographical tradition, imposed on the island in 1945 bythe Kuomintang, in order to rethink the intrinsic reality and the historical past of Taiwan's island society. Whereas the Kuomintang had imposed in the post-war period an all-encompassing historical narrative extraneous to the inhabitants of the island, from the end of the 1970s, some of the political activists and scholars of Taiwan undertook to re-evaluate their past and to redefine their own history in a new Taiwan-centred perspective. Breaking with the Chinese nationalist doxa and marked by a nativist inspiration, this narrative has emerged in the wake of the liberalisation of the island's regime and the rise of a Taiwanese nationalism, while it has also served as a catalyst to them. This work will analyse, from narrative and discursive angle, the discrepancies that underlie Taiwanese history and its modalities of writing from the contemporary era onwards. To which types of intellectual constructions have the re-reading and re-writing of Taiwan's past been submitted for the last four decades ? What kinds of narrative and historical perspectives emerge from the making of a new history of Taiwan freed from the Chinese nationalist fiction inherent to Kuomintang's authoritarian rule ? What exactly is this new history of Taiwan concerned with ? What tools and frames of knowledge are we potentially armed with to grasp its own process ?

Texto completo da fonteMalet, Christian. "Structures médicales traditionnelles à Taïwan : approche anthropologique". Bordeaux 2, 2000. http://www.theses.fr/2000BOR21009.
Texto completo da fonteTraditional medicine in Taiwan today accurately reflects the divergent cultural currents which have influenced the island over the years. Primitively inhabited by an Austronesian population, it was to become 98% Chinese due to a period of Han immigration that began in the XIth century AD. Chinese medicine replaced aboriginal practices, but was rejected in favor of western medicine during the Japanese occupation (1895-1945). It then became legal again after Taiwan regained its independence, but has since had to face socioeconomic developments and advanced biomedical progress. As early as 1974, we posed the following question : what could the future hold for such practices, efficacious as they were, but empirical in the eyes of science ? We began by examining traditional medicine as a cultural language drawing on the sources of Chinese thought, focussing on pharmacopoeia as the link between practitioner and patient. Research was carried out on 1275 drugs comprising 820 plants, 365 animals, 90 minerals and 374 medicinal preparations. We the proceeded to observe how and in which social strata these drugs were used. This led to two conclusions : 1/ an unrelenting decline of peddler medicine in three test cities : Taipei, the modern capital to the north, Tainan, the historical capital to the southwest and Hualien on the eastern coast. Flourishing in 1974, this peddler medicine suddenly became illegal under a law passed in 1975 ; 2/ the persistence of a scholarly Chinese medicine appearing to be more of an auxiliary to biomedicine rather than a full-fledged partner. In effect, there has been a clear decrease in the proportion of Chinese medicine practitioners as compared to modern medicine physicians, falling from -1/5 to +1/11 in 22 years. Further, an analysis of western culture yielded the conclusion that western scientific fundamentalism impeded a harmonious development of the two systems. Indeed, epistemology teaches us that the metaphysical revolution that completely transformed physics at the end of th XIXth century proceeded along a non-Aristotelian logic, the only means of answering hitherto insolvable problems : will tomorrow bring forth an intelligent merging of the two thoughts ?
Hsü-Maisonneuve, Anne-Lise. "Le déclin de la fécondité à Taiwan : ses rapports avec la modernité individuelle des femmes : une enquête de socio-démographie". Nancy 2, 1988. http://www.theses.fr/1988NAN21002.
Texto completo da fonteThe decline of fertility in taiwan has been a constant phenomenon since twenty years. The main "exterior factor" of this decline has been the modernization of the island. As a consequence, women joined massively the labor forces in the factories. As they were more busy; receptive to the influence of family planning campaigns; and in the seventies, they were numerous to join the prefessional schools and universities; women gradually adopted modern western values. Among these new values: a great change of behaviour towards the education of children and their number and place in the family. This study tries to show, through a sociologic enquiry in a university, that individual modernity of women -as a "psychologic factor"- has now a determinant influence upon the decline of fertility. Women have become concious of their roles inside the family and in the society. They have their own personal motives to work and reduce the size of their family. But the concious adoption of modern values is often in clonflict with traditional chinese values

Texto completo da fonteChina’s rise, Taiwan’s democratisation and the close relationship between the two sides of the Strait have brought forward new parameters in the national question in Taiwan, namely, in the definition of the political community imagined on the island, and in the determination of its future. This work demonstrates that the ability of the state actors to define Taiwan’s future is indeed weakened by their entanglement into an increasingly dense net of interdependencies. However, there is no status quo. The Taiwanese political community is moving forward on a non-linear trajectory, which results from the coming back of diverging conceptions of the nation, identity and the Taiwan-China relationship. Our analysis, based on a questionnaire we distributed in twelve universities, concerning student political perceptions and behaviours, shows that the strengthening of a Taiwanese national consciousness does not imply nationalist tensing and that, for this generation, the political horizon remains unblocked

Texto completo da fonteThis study will present the building process of Taiwanese identity in society and in the press through the analysis of the case of one newspaper : The Liberty Times. Firstly, the general socio-historic setting of the country will be presented. In short, Taiwan is a region long dominated by archaic States, then by a nationalist dictatorship, with civil societies in the grips of sporadic and deep social movements. Secondly, the relationship between the political field and the media field will be examined according to three historic periods : the hardline authoritarian regime, the tolerant authoritarian regime, and the democratic transition. This process is a slow evolution towards democracy, with an emancipation of the media world. Thirdly, the organisation of the journalistic world into three concentric circles will be examined : the State-run newspapers, the hybrid state-private national newspapers, and the marginal private newspapers. Within each circle, internal competition will be discussed. But the historic reversal of this structure (with the disappearnce of the State-run papers and the victory of the private press) will propell the low-visibility Liberty Times to the front row of the big national papers by virtue of its tone of Taiwanese identity. Fourthly, the method by which this newspaper constructs an identity discourse (which is its unique selling point in the political field) will be analysed. This construction of identity depends upon the judgements and connotations embedded in the vocabulary, and upon the categorisation of opponents according to ideological standards. This discourse has three critical moments : the political struggles of 1990, the Taipei mayoral elections of 1994, the Chinese missiles of 1996. Each period adds an additional degree of intensity to the aggressive affirmation of identity-related discourse. In a last part, the interviews conducted with the newspaper staff will be studied. These teams include the political desk, as well as journalists from other newspapers and politicians of various horizons. A typology of the opinions of the journalists at The Liberty Times (believers, followers, deviants) through three lines of questioning (submissiveness of the employees, whealing and dealing of the boss, the belief in Taiwanese identity), is drawn up. The result of this is an authoritarian identity-related discourse that deforms, manipulates and applies censorship tactics. The conclusion points out that the Taiwanese identity discourse is not based on anthropological grounds, but on classical mechanisms of journalistic writing

Texto completo da fonteIn the 1990s, the publication of the Critical biography of Xie Xuehong, the rehabilitation of Xie by the Chinese Communist Party and the corne back of Xie Xuehong in Taiwanese collective memory are the signs of the new echo given to the first Taiwan female revolutionary. The dissertation analyses the life of Xie Xuehong in Taiwan under Japanese colonial rule and then the Kuomintang government, and finally in China in exile. The focus is both on her revolutionan' action — her efforts to promote the emancipation of women, her role during the February 28 1947 events, her participation in the creation of the Democratic Alliance for the autonomy of Taiwan —and on her intellectual developments — her awareness of class relations, her defense of a Taiwanese national identity

Texto completo da fonteThe ideas of revolution in the field of construction take as a starting point of the installation in underground space, especially the one that is carried out downtown for a public use. The idea of urban planning for creation in underground is for objective of the durable urban development. The culture is a reference mark to understand the perception of the underground on human being. It is a component of human civilization which is constituted through the origins of the myths and cognitions and making it possible at an organization to acquire the consciousness and motive from his environment. In the research, it is a study on the consequences provoked by the creation of the underground shopping arcade (underground shopping streets +underground pedestrian) in Taipei that are dependent and associated several significant urban developments, either by zone, or by districts to improve anarchistic urban spaces. Thus they concern also urban equipment and urban landscape. It is useful to seek to understand the historical context, the joint development of the social economy, urban space and the socio-policy on the island of Taiwan and their influences on the way of Taiwanese life today. That, we can know well a new transformation and modernization in urban spaces and the Taiwanese society brought by the creation of underground shopping streets in Taipei

Texto completo da fonteGezai-xi is a form of live performance art, sung and dramatised, which was born on the island of Taiwan. It is not an art of lettered folk; rather it issues from a rural practice which has flourished in Taiwan since the 19th century: that of Gezai, little songs in the minnan language, sung during agricultural labour by rural Taiwanese populations who emigrated from the Fujian province of China. Gezai-xi has long been considered a minor artform, as its principal raison d'être is to entertain the audience. This image of a popular, even vulgar, entertainment persists in current Taiwanese society. The aim of this thesis is to describe and analyse the process by which a Taiwanese performance art with rural origins has been transformed into a national emblem, in the context of the nationalist government's cultural policy known as indigenisation, and its project of constructing a national identity. This development has tended to institutionalise and immobilise a little-codified practice, at the risk of profoundly modifying its originality and usage. Founded on historical inquiry and the collection of testimony from performers and audiences, the thesis retraces the development of the artform, which accompanied the construction of Taiwanese society throughout the 20th century, up to its institutionalization in the Fu-Hsing Dramatic Arts Academy, the prestigious national public institution which has raised it to the status of a national-identity performance art

Texto completo da fonteThis thesis deals with kinship and shamanism among the Kavalan, an Austronesian speaking society on the East coast of Taiwan, which has been, until the 1940s, matrilineal and matrilocal, having practiced diachronic polyandry. I attempt to analyse the source of different powers held by women and to show how, in Kavalan culture, social gender constitutes both the agent and recipient of these powers. Finally, I devote my attention to the transformations engendered in Kavalan society by successive regimes of Japanese and Han Chinese colonization until the present. During these periods, the Kavalan have had to confront the politics of sinisation, the penetration of Christianity, their integration within the modern state and lastly their inclusion within the global market economy

Texto completo da fonteThe study starts with a sociolinguistic description of Taiwan at the present time, i. E. A definition of the status of the languages spoken in Taiwan, and of the characteristics of their speakers. Main languages concerned are chinese languages (mandarin, minnan, hakka) as well as formosan austronesian languages. Further on, questions related to multilingualism and language choice in the work environment are explored, especially in relation to Taiwan aborigines. Theories representative of language choice research fields, at the macro- and micro-sociolinguistic levels, are reviewed and discussed, so as to define a methodology for the analysis of the data collected in the east of Taiwan. The two fields of research (a hospital in hualian city and a primary care unit in hualian district) are introduced. Subjects to both surveys are aborigines, and native speakers of the amis, taroko and atayal formosan austronesian languages. Data analysis is performed at both levels of global and interactional (face-to-face) language choice, revealing such mechanisms as code switching, code mixing, and borrowings, and their value as speech strategies. Data analysis is then related to speakers' mental representations of their languages. In a dynamic perspective of language choice, the link between linguistic mental representations and minority language maintenance and shift is evidenced

Texto completo da fonteFollowing the successive waves of foreign influences, through colonization or globalization, its unique economic and political development, its separation for more than a century from mainland China and its insularity, Taiwan does not cease to claim its singularity on the world stage. However, due to strong pressure from the People's Republic of China in its reunification project ever abandoned, the Republic of China suffers from diplomatic isolation and struggles in making its voice heard as an independant State. The objective of this thesis is to provide an analysis of the complex geopolitical, cultural and social realities of Taiwan. We chose to examine this complexity through the study of identity and globalization issues expressed in contemporary art creation. By defining art as a space for reflection and critical questioning of the world order, we want to show how certain works (selected in the visual arts, architecture and dance) offer a relevant interpretation of the transformations occured in Taiwan society, and the challenges the island has to face
