Taiwan's nativist literature, known as Taiwan hsiang-t'u
literature, originated in the Japanese occupation when Taiwanese
native authors strived to establish a "national" literature
distinct from Japanese and Chinese literatures. Drawing on recent
colonial/postcolonial theory, this project aims to investigate the
process of writing in which the native tongue profoundly undermined
the privileged status of the colonizer's language and through which
natives could articulate their colonial existence. It argues that
the new conception of Taiwanese writing produced a new literature
where the cultural "otherness" was traversed by the language and
literature of the colonized. Concurrently, the practice of
Taiwanese writing as a means of resistance to the writing of the
colonizer constructed a new paradigm for Taiwanese "national"
identity.
