SUMMARY:Chia-li Kao - The Invention of Taiwanese Natural Aesthetics in Japanese Tanka Poetry
DESCRIPTION:TAIWAN TALKS \nThe Invention of Taiwanese Natural Aesthetics in Japanese Tanka Poetry \nDuring the Japanese colonial period\, Japanese settlers in Taiwan confronted a drastically different natural environment. The tanka (waka) tradition\, which had long been rooted in the characteristics of four distinct seasons\, suddenly lost its anchor within Taiwan’s tropical and subtropical climates. Concurrently\, a wave of tanka poetry reform driven by Westernization currents was rising in metropolitan Japan. Caught in the dual tensions between tradition and modernity\, as well as the metropole and the colony\, Japanese residents in Taiwan progressively attempted to construct a tanka aesthetics capable of responding to Taiwan’s natural environments. This lecture explores this dynamic process. \nSpeaker: Chia-li Kao (National Chung Hsing University) \nChia-li Kao is an associate professor of the Graduate Institute of Taiwan Literature and Transnational Cultural Studies at National Chung Hsing University\, Taiwan. She currently serves as Chair of the Graduate Institute of Taiwan Literature and Transnational Cultural Studies and Chair of Bachelor Program in Taiwan Humanities and Creativity. \nKao received a Ph. D. in Comparative Literature from Indiana University at Bloomington. Her research areas include comparative literature\, pre-WWII Japanese and Taiwanese literature\, and Globalization studies. Her recent research focuses on nature writing in Taiwanese literature under the Japanese rule. She published her book entitled Writing Tropical Islands: Empires\, Travel and Imagination (2016) and coedited a book\, Crossing Southeast Asia (2021).
