帝國學知與近代台灣/Imperial Knowledge and Modern Taiwan
This course takes as its point of departure recent scholarly work in Japan to examine the relationship between knowledge production and the structures of state authority, colonialism, postcolonial conditions, and gender. The production of knowledge in modern Japan was deeply intertwined with the imperial project, encompassing institutional frameworks, academic journals and organizations, disciplinary boundaries, and ideological orientations. To explore these dynamics, the course invites both established and emerging Japanese scholars to address various dimensions of knowledge production from the perspectives of empire and colony. Through both broad historical contexts and detailed case studies, the course aims to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of this significant historical process.
