20:00-21:00
3F, Eslite Taida Bookstore		 If we compare Taiwan studies to a city, then the dominant figure of Kanori Ino will be seen in every lane and trail. From the Japanese rule, to the days after WWII, or even today, Kanori Ino’s field experience has influenced every field in Taiwan studies. The lecture aims to reexamine the studies of Kanori Ino so as to trace the colonial clues constructed by contemporary Taiwan history and culture.

Pioneers in Taiwan Studies, Lecture II – Reading and Interpreting Kareitou: Shimada Kinji’s Study on Taiwan Literature 11/25
20:00-21:00
Eslite Taida Bookstore 3F		 Who writes on the island? Taiwan literature does not only consist of writings of Taiwanese, as the term refers literally. While Taiwan was under the rule of Japan, Japanese in Taiwan also contributed greatly to Taiwan literature. For example, Shimada Kinji conducted research on Taiwan literature, which has left us significant revelations. The lecture explores into the “real” Shimada Kinji, giving details to his life and achievements from various aspects, especially from the time when he stayed in Taiwan. What Shimada Kinji stands for is the common experience shared by the Japanese staying in Taiwan.
