When ancestors speak
In 2023, Taiwan undertook its first international repatriation of Indigenous ancestral remains. However, this event was less a straightforward success than a consequence of complex discourse. This study examines the Taiwanese state’s official narrative surrounding the repatriation of Paiwan ancestral remains and contrasts it with a counternarrative articulated by Paiwan communities, as revealed through one-on-one interviews. Within the framework …
Mirrors of power
From marginalization to resistance
This study examines the evolving discourse surrounding the nuclear waste on Orchid Island (Lanyu), Taiwan, through the frameworks of Critical Discourse Analysis and metaphorical framing. It analyses linguistic features across three textual genres—news reports, a declaration, and a government report—spanning from Taiwan’s late Martial Law period to the present. The findings reveal a discursive shift from environmental concerns to the indigenous Ta…
Shifting narratives
Heroic tales can support a nation’s mainstream ideology, but for minority groups, such as indigenous peoples, they can also be a detrimental oppositional force. This study explores the evolving discourse surrounding the tale of Wu Feng, arguably the most widespread and prominent narrative responsible for traumatizing indigenous peoples in Taiwan. Employing a critical discourse analysis of three texts from significant historical eras (Taiwan under…
The day after the apology
In 2016, Taiwan’s President Tsai Ing-wen officially apologised to the island’s indigenous peoples. This national apology not only plays a persuasive role in informing the general public about the historical wrongdoings inflicted on the Taiwanese aborigines, but also constitutes a therapeutic and restorative role in the process of reconciliation with the indigenous victims. This article provides a critical discourse analysis of President Tsai’s ap…
Indigenous peoples in public media
This study analyses the legal action taken for defamation in the case of the ‘human zoo’, an alleged defamatory portrayal of the Paiwan people, a Taiwanese indigenous group, by Japan’s public broadcaster, NHK. The analysis of this case is presented in two stages, the first of which employs a critical discourse analysis (CDA) to examine the covert racist discourse regarding the Paiwan people in a four-episode NHK documentary series on the history …
National identification and intergroup attitudes of Chinese youth towards Americans, Japanese, and South Koreans
The study explored the strength of national identification and intergroup attitudes of Chinese youth (n = 591, aged 12–15) toward the Chinese, the Americans, the Japanese, and the South Koreans. The participants were asked to fill in a questionnaire and write down reasons why they ‘like’ or ‘dislike’ the four groups. The results showed a consistency in in-group favoritism. Gender and age were both related to Chinese youths’ national identificatio…
