Implikacije incidenta 228 na tajvansko identiteto

Filip, Alja (author), Istenič, Saša (mentor)

Tajvansko družbo sestavljajo različne skupine ljudi, ki se razlikujejo po svojem etničnem ozadju. Na Tajvanu prevladujejo Han Kitajci, ki so na otok prišli v dveh različnih valih: med 16. in 17. stoletjem ter sredi 20. stoletja. Ostali del prebivalcev predstavljajo tajvanski staroselci in novejši migranti. Tajvanska identiteta se je začela razvijati v obdobju japonske kolonialne vlade (1895–1945). Po letu 1945, ko se je na Tajvanu ustalila kitajska nacionalistična vlada, se je tajvanska identiteta kljub politiki sinizacije začela vse bolj ločevati od poistovetenja s celinsko Kitajsko. Odnos med otoškimi lokalnimi prebivalci in novimi kitajskimi priseljenci se je v tem obdobju poslabšal, napetosti med tema dvema skupinama pa so izbruhnile v upor, ki se je razširil po celotnem Tajvanu in je znan pod imenom incident 228. Diplomsko delo analizira posebnosti tajvanske identitete, njen razvoj in vlogo incidenta 228. Namen diplomskega dela je raziskati, kakšne so implikacije incidenta 228 na tajvansko identiteto. Pregled in analiza virov sta me vodila do zaključka, da je incident imel izjemno velik vpliv na oblikovanje tajvanske identitete. Incident 228 je zanetil tajvanski nacionalizem, ki je vzpodbudil nastanek gibanj za demokracijo in neodvisnost Tajvana. Incident 228 predstavlja simbol tajvanskega trpljenja in služi kot orožje v boju za tajvansko neodvisnost ter kot svarilo pred krutostjo, ki jo lahko povzroči tuja vlada. Incident 228 lahko predstavlja tudi posledice neuspešne sinizacije, ki je po koncu II. svetovne vojne na Tajvanu povzročila le še večje zavračanje kitajske identitete.

• Title: Implications of 228 Incident on Taiwanese Identity

Abstract

Taiwanese society comprises different groups of people who differ in their ethnic backgrounds. The most dominant is the Han Chinese, who came to the island in two waves: between the 16th and 17th centuries, and in the middle of the 20th century. The rest of the population is represented by Taiwanese natives and newer migrants. Taiwanese identity began to develop during the period of the Japanese colonial government (1895–1945). After 1945, when the Chinese nationalist government settled in Taiwan, Taiwanese identity began to increasingly separate from that of mainland China, despite the policy of sinicization. Relations between the island's locals and new Chinese immigrants deteriorated during this period, and tensions between the two groups erupted into a rebellion that spread throughout Taiwan and is known as Incident 228. This thesis analyses the specifics of Taiwanese identity, its development, and the role of incident 228 - the purpose of the thesis is to investigate the implications of incident 228 on Taiwanese identity. A review and analysis of the sources led me to the conclusion that the incident had an extremely large impact on the formation of Taiwanese identity. Incident 228 ignited Taiwanese nationalism, which spurred the emergence of movements for Taiwan’s democratic system and its independence. Incident 228 is a symbol of Taiwanese suffering and serves as a weapon in the fight for Taiwanese independence, and as a warning against the cruelties that can be caused by a foreign government. Incident 228 may also represent the consequences of a failed sinicization that occurred after World War II, which in Taiwan only resulted in an even fiercer rejection of Chinese identity.
