Cheerleading culture and fandom
This article analyzes how cheerleading has become central to the commercialization and gender representation of Taiwan's professional baseball. Drawing on scholarship on sport as spectacle and re-enchantment, as well as research on sexualization and emotional labor, the focus is on entertainment-oriented cheerleading in Taiwan's professional baseball. Since the Lamigo Monkeys introduced a Korean-style model in 2013, all CPBL teams have created fe…
The (un)bearable lightness of Chineseness? – Taiwanese national identities and the opening ceremony of the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics
This research examines the controversy caused by Taiwanese speedskater Yu-ting Huang at the Beijing Winter Olympics to analyze the concept of Chineseness on mass media in Taiwan. The videoclip of Huang wearing an outfit of the Chinese national team during training went viral on the social media. The incident triggered a series of chain reactions including her eventual suspension from the national team. However, Huang remained the flagbearer for t…
The Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games and the performativity of sport nationalism
This essay examines how Taiwanese national identity was performed on social media during the postponed Tokyo Olympics 2020. Taiwan achieved its best-ever medal tally, leading to the emergence of a new form of sport nationalism. Athletes' off-field behaviors, including diverse gender expressions, distinguished them not only from their Chinese counterparts but also from previous generations of Taiwanese athletes. Badminton, weightlifting, and table…
What's in a name? Between 'Chinese Taipei' and 'Taiwan
The Chinese Civil War split the Chinese into two politically conflicted states from 1949. The People's Republic of China and Republic of China both claimed to be the legitimate representative of China in the international community. 'Chinese Taipei' has become the name of Republic of China in the international sport field and almost every international organization since 1981, after Kuomintang (The Chinese Nationalist Party) refused to play under…
The Absent Savior? Nationalism, Migration, and Football in Taiwan
A surge of interest in football has surfaced in the past few years in Taiwan. Many fans credit it to Xavier Chen, a Belgium born French-Taiwanese footballer. Chen lives mostly in Belgium and has a distant connection with Taiwan. His Mandarin efficacy is very limited. Yet he is still being hailed as the savior of football. Despite being a member of the Belgium Under-19 national team, Chen’s tie with Taiwan was unearthed by a local football fan, wh…
Adopting the diasporic son
Jeremy Lin and the resulting 'Linsanity' has caused an unprecedented media and marketing frenzy worldwide. This essay examines its implication through reviewing media narratives in Taiwan, Lin's ancestral homeland. Japanese colonizers first brought modern sports to the Taiwanese as a symbol of 'civilization' and 'modernity.' Although 'athleticism' confronts Confucian tradition, sports began to play a subtle but crucial role in the Taiwan national…
From the “Taiwan Yankees” to the New York Yankees
This study examines both the general narratives of baseball in Taiwan and particularly New York Yankees-related narratives since Taiwanese player Chien-ming Wang joined the team in 2005. By reviewing newspaper coverage and TV ratings data, I argue that a nationalistic perspective was the undertone in the Taiwanese mass media; indeed, the media could define the Yankees as Taiwan’s vicarious national team or the “Evil Empire”, depending on Wang’s c…
