SUMMARY:[ONLINE] Translating Taiwanese Eco-literature: Geopolitical ecologies of language in a contested critical zone
DESCRIPTION:Presenting a forthcoming co-edited volume of Taiwanese eco-literature in translation\, this\ntalk considers Taiwan’s contested statehood and fecund yet fragile natural environment as\ngeopolitical affordances that propel institutional and financial support for literary projects.\nCasting light on the production and circulation of multilingual texts\, this auto-ethnographic\nexamination of a transnational project affords a novel ecological view of ethnogenesis\,\nnationalism\, conflict\, and cooperation in Taiwan and beyond.

SUMMARY:The Transfestive Consciousness of Chinese Burning Man
DESCRIPTION:Burning Man\, the prototypical transformational event culture\, has been described as “a guerrilla war against alienated spectacle and the commodification of the collective imagination.” At the same time\, it has spawned spectacular efforts at the commodification of experience that span the United States\, China\, and Taiwan. This talk\, based on the author’s long-term role as a Burning Man artist and regional event representative\, offers a history of Burning Man’s varied regional manifestations. Tracing these connections offers a weirdly scenic vantage point for considering the global collision\, recreation\, and transformation of culture and consciousness.

SUMMARY:The Sunflower Movement: How a student-led occupation transformed the nation
DESCRIPTION:The 2014 Sunflower Movement\, a 24-day student-led occupation of Taiwan’s Legislative Yuan and its surrounding area\, was the largest social movement in Taiwan’s history. \nA protest against the near-passage of a trade deal with China\, the movement transformed Taiwan’s political culture and redirected its geopolitical trajectory. This eyewitness account will clarify its causes\, give a tour of the occupation sites and their social and spatial structure\, and trace its lasting impacts.

SUMMARY:Transitional justice in Taiwan: In theory\, in practice\, in literature
DESCRIPTION:As one of her first gestures upon taking office\, President Tsai Ing-wen announced a plan to set up a truth and reconciliation commission. \n‘For the new democratic system to move forward\,’ she said in her 2016 inauguration speech\, ‘we must first find a way to face the past together.’ She continued by remarking that\, ‘The goal of transitional justice is to pursue true social reconciliation\, so that all Taiwanese can take to heart the mistakes of that [authoritarian] era.’ \nThis talk assesses the motivations\, conduct\, and outcomes of such projects. It contends that\, for Taiwan as a contested state\, transitional justice projects served as part of a legitimation strategy that included consolidation of a collective memory about earlier authoritarian state violence\, cultural and political distinction from the irredentism and authoritarianism of China\, and demonstration of adherence to international norms of democracy and human rights. As examples of the effects of the projects\, it presents the speaker’s edited volume of literature in translation\, Transitions in Taiwan: Stories of the White Terror\, as well as public statements asserting Taiwan’s sovereignty published by members of the Indigenous Historical Justice and Transitional Justice Committee.
