Language, Politics and Identity in Taiwan

- Naming China

Über Language, Politics and Identity in Taiwan

This book traces the intertwined paths of five sets of names Taiwan has used to name China since the KMT came to Taiwan in 1949. In doing so, it explores how Taiwanese identities are constituted and reconstituted in the shifting and switching of names for China; in the application of these names to alternative domains of Taiwanese life; in the waning or waxing of names following tides of history and polity; and in the increasingly contested meaning of names. Through textual analyses of historical archives and other mediated texts and artifacts, the chapters chart Taiwan's identity negotiation over the past half century and critically evaluate key interconnections between language and politics.
