Abstract
This is an inquiry into Taiwan classical literature during the Japanese
colonial period based on the concepts of Pei-feng Chen’s Colonial Hanwen
and Shu-mei Shih’s Sinophone Literature. The inquiry concentrates on the
subjectivity and the complexity of this classical literature. Firstly, regarding
the concept of Colonial Hanwen, I discuss the development from Imperial
Hanwen to Colonial Hanwen and the issues from the Hanwen Tung-Wen
Phenomenon to the Great East-Asian Regionalism. Secondly, as to the concept
of Sinophone Literature, I explore the relation between Sinophone Literature
and Taiwan classical literature based on the discourse from Chineseness,
Sinophone Literature to Taiwaneseness. The question this paper attempts to
examine is whether the Japanese sinology in Tawan can be discussed under the
above concepts. The inquiry into this question implies a sort of anxiety about
China no matter how we address it. The present inquiry highlights Yu-lin Lee’s
innovative approach, Taiwan as a Method, which derives from the theories of
Takeuchi Yoshimi ( 竹內好) and Mizoguchi Yuzo ( 溝口雄三): Lee’s Taiwan
as a Method approach makes it possible to generate a theory for Taiwan
demonstrating its subjectivity and irreplaceable historical development, and
this will definitely open new arenas for the interpretation of Taiwan classical
literature.
