Taiwan Studies Lectureship Annual Conference
Monday, October 9, 2017 - Wednesday, October 11, 2017
314 Royce Hall
This international conference explores the 1930 Musha Incident, a violent conflict between the indigenous Seediq and the Japanese colonial powers in Taiwan. Through a series of lectures, panels, and discussions, “Musha 1930: History, Memory, Culture” will explore the lingering impact of this conflict and how it has been constructed in contemporary Taiwanese cultural memory. This event will bring together writers, filmmakers, historians, and cultural studies scholars to discuss the historical impact of the Musha Incident. Topics will include: How the memory of the Musha Incident has transformed over time; the conflation of politics and historical memory regarding Musha; and how cultural texts have appropriated the history of the Musha Incident. The conference will feature both scholarly papers as well as dialogues with artists whose work has engaged with the incident.
