Taiwan's Imagined Geography pdf epub mobi txt 電子書 下載 2024
Until 300 years ago, the Chinese considered Taiwan a "land beyond the seas," a "ball of mud" inhabited by "naked and tattooed savages." The incorporation of this island into the Qing empire in the seventeenth century and its evolution into a province by the late nineteenth century involved not only a reconsideration of imperial geography but also a reconceptualization of the Chinese domain. The annexation of Taiwan was only one incident in the much larger phenomenon of Qing expansionism into frontier areas that resulted in a doubling of the area controlled from Beijing and the creation of a multi-ethnic polity. The author argues that travelers' accounts and pictures of frontiers such as Taiwan led to a change in the imagined geography of the empire. In representing distant lands and ethnically diverse peoples of the frontiers to audiences in China proper, these works transformed places once considered non-Chinese into familiar parts of the empire and thereby helped to naturalize Qing expansionism.
By viewing Taiwan-China relations as a product of the history of Qing expansionism, the author contributes to our understanding of current political events in the region.
Emma J. Teng is Professor of Chinese Studies at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

評分非常清晰有條理,沒有復雜的cliche, 就算是有,也解釋得很清楚;在運用rhetoric分析問題上,接地氣,有理有據,沒有過分依賴單純的文本/文字分析。和Pratt比,感覺Pratt對十八世紀文本的依賴更強導緻瞭失真。唯一的不足,我認為是,作者過分的強調瞭清朝的殖民統治是如何如何得特殊(Hostler的書裏也有類似問題),從而強加運用過多的confusciansim去論證/支持這個論點,在某些方麵看來有點牽強。並且,作者沒有完全分析到清朝(滿)到特殊性,我想清朝對待道傢的態度多少還是有點不同。anyway,是本好書!
