2020

This book delves into the intricate landscape of Taiwanese literature during a transformative period from 1945 to 1949, marked by significant political, cultural, and social shifts following the conclusion of World War II. Employing Pierre Bourdieu's concept of the literary field, Táňa Dluhošová shares her understanding on Taiwanese literature, viewing it as a multifaceted structure embedded in the contexts of both Japanese and Chinese cultures, driven by diverse actors with varying motivations. The analytical section of the book is divided into two segments, drawing inspiration from the methodologies of Italian literary scholar Franco Moretti. The first section, known as Distant Reading, utilizes quantitative methods to elucidate the structural dynamics and transformations within the literary domain. The second section, Close Reading, delves into the literary styles of different groups that have actively participated in the Taiwanese literary landscape. Through this comprehensive exploration, the book provides readers with a profound understanding of how literature in Taiwan evolved and adapted amidst the backdrop of significant historical changes and cultural influences.
