From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Liu Shuqin (born November 1, 1969--) is a researcher of Taiwanese literature who works at the Institute of Taiwanese Literature at Tsinghua University. Her research specialties include Taiwanese literature during the Japanese colonial period, Colonialism and literary production, and Comparative literature of East Asian colonies.[1][2]

Life

[edit]

Liu Shuqin was born on November 1, 1969, in Hualien, Taiwan. She once did short-term research at the Graduate School of Humanities and Social Sciences of the University of Tokyo.[3]

Research philosophy and academic concern

[edit]

Regarding the rising atmosphere of nationalism (whether in China or Taiwan) within the Department of Literature in Taiwan and in the country, Liu Shuqin once advised readers in the preface of her representative work "The Thorny Road: Literary Activities and Cultural Struggles of Taiwanese Youth in Japan," saying: "While fighting colonialism, the nation-state has to some extent fallen into the perspective of cultural essentialism. Nationalism has stifled various local differences, suppressed the multiple possibilities of local literature, and reduced multiple local cultural traditions." Compared with some scholars who use postcolonial discourse as a weapon for their discourse or as a theoretical basis for supporting Taiwan's independence or unification, she has a different view on postcolonial discourse, believing that "the ultimate goal of postcolonial discourse is to liberate various regional and indigenous words and expressions from the monocultural dictatorship, and naturally show an equal dialogue between the local and the rest of the world from the inside out."[4]

Regarding the existence of "Taiwanese literature," especially the creation and intellectualization of Taiwanese literature, she does not believe that it is "the result of a temporary, one-party, or political operation," but instead that it has its causes and profound significance. In an article, she mentioned: "The canonization of Taiwanese literary works and the discipline of Taiwanese studies are cultural phenomena that can be objectively analyzed. This cultural phenomenon has long and profound social roots, reflecting our society's power and desire to express collective emotions and understand our land and history."[5]

She is very concerned about the problems of "Taiwan usually has only one or a few representatives participating," "weak numbers," and "lack of a generational team." She believes this phenomenon will eventually affect the voice of Taiwanese and Taiwanese literature in the international academic community and create a disadvantage in academic inheritance and international competition for the next generation.[6]

Regarding the development of Taiwanese literary research, Liu Shuqin believes that thinking about "what Taiwanese literature can give back to society" is more important and urgent than "discussing research topics and research methods in detail." At the "Current Issues in Taiwanese Literature Symposium" held by the Taiwan Research Center of the College of Humanities and Social Sciences at Providence University, the National Museum of Taiwanese Literature, the Taiwan Research Center platform, and relevant university departments and institutes were called upon to invite people from all walks of life to discuss the various changes that have occurred in the domestic cultural and educational fields in recent years through some means (such as a series of workshops) and to think about the various impacts these changes have brought to the discipline of, the social needs they reflect, and the strategies for responding to these changes.[7]

Judgment of others

[edit]
  • Criticism of its research orientation:

Because she advocated that the study of Taiwanese literature during the Japanese rule should adopt "positivism" and advocated that another Taiwanese writer, You Shengguan, should take a "critical" position, she wrote an article to review "critical" academic research.[10] You Shengguan also wrote an article criticizing the research orientation of Liu Shuqin, Huang Mei'e, and other scholars and their interpretation of the historical materials and research objects of Taiwanese literature during Japanese rule.

  • Comments on its research results:

Zeng Shirong's "The Way of Thorns: Literary Activities and Cultural Struggles of Taiwanese Youth Traveling to Japan" by Liu Shuqin: This article was published in "Research on Taiwan History" (Taipei City: Institute of Taiwan History, Academia Sinica) in December 2011, page 241–249.
