商品描述

This book provides a thought-provoking analysis of the perception of China as a formidable threat amidst the current era of socio-political polarization and growing militarization. By exploring the discursive strategies and tactics employed to cultivate antagonism, it unveils the "culture of enmity" that fosters fear and distrust towards China, both in Taiwan and beyond. Drawing on interdisciplinary research, the book delves into the ontological characteristics of such a culture and provides insights into the Taiwan conflict as a crucial observation post for understanding the intricate discursive dynamics of the New Cold War.

The geopolitical situation of Taiwan presents a predicament as it finds itself at the crossroads of two conflicting realms. On one hand, it is deeply intertwined with Chinese culture and history, with the added dimension of its strategic proximity to China at a time when the latter aspires to become a regional hegemon. On the other hand, Taiwan boasts a Western-influenced political system, Western-leaning strategic alliances, and a distinct political identity forged over the past few decades. It is within this intricate interplay of apparently dissonant but overlapping factors that the thorny and challenging nature of the discursive struggle for Taiwan becomes apparent.

The book consists of a collection of articles initially created by the authors during their research in Taiwan over several years, first at National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University and then at National Cheng Kung University. The articles, organized into different chapters, cover various disciplines such as political philosophy, geopolitics, history, discourse analysis, and anthropology, reflecting the diverse educational backgrounds of the authors. Despite their diversity, all chapters are deeply connected to the discursive struggle over Taiwan. Ultimately, by offering a nuanced perspective that challenges prevailing narratives, the authors provide adeliberately controversial yet refreshing viewpoint that advocates for a policy of empathy and negotiation. Such approach goes beyond mere dialogue and diplomacy, emphasizing the need for coexistence and peaceful living among different "worlds".


商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書提供了一個引人深思的分析，探討在當前社會政治極化和日益軍事化的時代中，中國被視為一個可怕威脅的觀感。透過探討用以培養對立情緒的話語策略和戰術，本書揭示了在台灣及其他地區，促進對中國的恐懼和不信任的「敵意文化」。本書基於跨學科的研究，深入探討這種文化的本體特徵，並提供對台灣衝突的見解，作為理解新冷戰複雜話語動態的重要觀察點。

台灣的地緣政治情況呈現出一種困境，因為它處於兩個相互衝突領域的交匯點。一方面，台灣與中國文化和歷史深深交織，並且在中國渴望成為區域霸權的時刻，具有戰略上的接近性。另一方面，台灣擁有受西方影響的政治體系、西方傾向的戰略聯盟，以及在過去幾十年中形成的獨特政治身份。在這些表面上不協調但又重疊的因素的複雜交互中，台灣話語鬥爭的棘手和挑戰性本質變得顯而易見。

本書由一系列文章組成，這些文章最初是作者在台灣多年研究期間創作的，最初在國立陽明交通大學，然後在國立成功大學。這些文章按不同章節組織，涵蓋政治哲學、地緣政治、歷史、話語分析和人類學等多個學科，反映了作者多樣的教育背景。儘管各章節內容多樣，但所有章節都與台灣的話語鬥爭密切相關。最終，通過提供一種挑戰主流敘事的細緻視角，作者提出了一種故意具爭議性但又耳目一新的觀點，主張同情和談判的政策。這種方法超越了單純的對話和外交，強調不同「世界」之間共存與和平生活的必要性。
