Ignite the Scent
Scent is an important product attribute and an integral component of the consumption experience as consumers often want to perceive a product’s smell to make a well-informed purchase decision. It is difficult, however, to communicate the properties of a scent without the physical presence of odorants. Through five experiments conducted in a perfume-advertising context, our research shows that implied explosion, whether visually ( e.g. , a spritz …

Betel Nut, Magic and Baseball
Despite considerable research being done on Taiwanese aborigines and baseball, no study has been undertaken on magic and baseball in regard to specific indigenous ethnic groups. This article examines the extent to which betel nuts were used as a vehicle for the expression of human relationships with the supernatural in baseball. The Puyuma, renowned for practicing black magic, have always been accused, in particular, by the Amis, of casting evil …
Confucianism, baseball and ethnic stereotyping in Taiwan
Unlike the experience of indigenous people in some societies, notably North America and Australia, where there is a significant modern sporting culture to which indigenous people contribute relatively little, in Taiwan the situation is reversed. Here the sporting culture is relatively underdeveloped in large part, we argue, because of the continuing influence of Confucian ideas, but aborigines play a disproportionately significant role not least …
Be a Sedentary Confucian Gentlemen
Be a Sedentary Confucian Gentlemen: The Construction of Anti-Physical Culture by Chinese Dynasts using Confucianism and the Civil Service Examination Although there has been a growing body of research that explores Chinese masculinities within imperial China, the connection between masculinity and physical culture has been neglected. In this article, the author argues that Chinese emperors used Confucianism and the civil service examination ( kej…
Promoting Buddhism through Modern Sports
Promoting Buddhism through Modern Sports: The Case Study of Fo Guang Shan in Taiwan In the past, traditional Buddhism in China focused on chanting and meditation that detached itself from the society. However, after generations of strenuous efforts to promote ‘Humanistic Buddhism’, several Masters have been encouraging religion to engage more in daily lives. One of the proponents was Master Hsin Yun, who was born and raised in mainland China and …
The Confucian legacy and its implications for physical education in Taiwan
Through a particular case study, this article seeks to demonstrate the relevance of cultural history to physical activity and physical education. For generations of East Asian people who have lived with the influence of Confucianism, the disposition to engage with sport has commonly been absent. Over a number of centuries, the Chinese constructed a unique wen-version of manhood — in other words, an anti-physical culture, which contrasted sharply …
Schooling Taiwan's aboriginal baseball players for the nation
One of the major challenges that faces nation-builders in postcolonial societies is the incorporation of subaltern groups, particularly aboriginal peoples, into a collective national project. One vehicle for addressing this challenge is sport with schools being amongst the most important venues. This article offers an empirical study of the role of aboriginal players in Taiwanese baseball. By examining the schooling and historic achievements of a…
Proud to Be Chinese
Defeated by the communists in 1949, the Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) sought refuge in Taiwan under the conditions of war and aggression that produced strong defensive nationalism and an intensive struggle for national identification. The KMT faced a dual crisis of legitimacy during the 1970s, both domestically and internationally, after being expelled from the United Nations. The urgency of seeking recognition within the boundary by the Taiwan…
Dancing Around the Elephant
In 1987 the ban on sporting exchanges between Taiwan and China was lifted. However, the subsequent growing power of China on the world's sports stage has had repercussions within Taiwan. Government and people now have an ambivalent attitude – a mixture of pride and suspicion – towards their aggressive neighbour and what they see as attempted Chinese sporting hegemony. Taiwan wants to promote good relations with China through sport but Taiwan also…
The hongye legend in taiwanese baseball
This paper examines the legend and reality behind Hongye youth baseball. Friendly games against Japan in 1968 created an impact that has a unique place within Taiwanese history. Established both by the government and the media, Hongye was not only hailed as the genesis of Taiwan's baseball, but also as part of a Chinese nation-building project that was acceptable within society. As a result, myths were added to those facts that had become part of…
Nationalism and National Identity in Taiwanese Baseball
Nationalism and National Identity in Taiwanese Baseball Yu Junwei (bio) and Dan Gordon (bio) When the Taiwanese first saw the Japanese tossing and hitting baseballs, they were fearful and perplexed. The ball was so hard and solid they dubbed the game bangqiu (baseball) as caiqiu (wooden-ball), thinking the activity might cause a fatality.1 Heavily influenced by Confucianism, which valued academic study and shunned physicality or martial prowess, …
