On The Discourse Construction And Evolution Of "Taiwan Consciousness" Since 1970s

"Who are the Taiwanese?" Essentially,it is a social problem involving politics,culture,literature and other fields.Marx had a penetrating analysis of ideology in The German Ideology,a class occupies the dominant position of material sustenance in society,as well as it also occupies the dominant position of spiritual sustenance.Discourse itself is accompanied by power,this thesis draws on Foucault’s power-knowledge theory and tries to reveal the network of power relations behind the constructing of "native" discourse.Taking Foucault’s method of investigating the genealogy of knowledge history,firstly,investigate the ideological context of"Taiwan consciousness" since the 1970s.Looking back on the critical period of the historical development of "Taiwan Consciousness" in the 1970s-1980s.The movement for defending Diaoyu islands led to the anti-authoritarian trend of "returning to the traditional" and "returning to reality"in 1970s.But since the 1980s,the "Taiwan as Center" and "Taiwan Experience"discourses had gradually been built on the basis of localism by "native" scholars.In addition,the analysis of the discourse,this thesis not only limited to the interpretation of the text,how does the "native" discourse plays a role in the power relational network,that is,the re-creation of discourse in power practice is also one of the focuses of this thesis.In the 1990s,like building a project with planned and step-by-step accumulation,the Lee Teng-hui authorities’ promoted of the "native" consciousness of Taiwan society.In 2000,Taiwan society gradually became resentful of the internal friction of "ethnic politics" and came into a period of high incidence of social resistance for beyond "blue-green",but it still did not find the cause of the collapse of the social moral value system.After 2008,the "native" forces developed a new "Taiwan independence" discourse of"civic nationalism." From the "wild strawberry" in 2008 to the "sunflower" in 2014 and"anti-curriculum" in 2015,the social movements that took place in Taiwan in recent years,it reflects the physical struggles of some Taiwanese who were unable to reflect what they did.Contemporary Taiwanese’s identity cognitive divergence is also the cognitive divergence of "modernity".Finally,in the context of "historical China",by reflecting on Taiwan’s "modernity",this thesis tried to find the real "China" in Taiwan as Ying-Bin Ning① said.
