| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立成功大學 === 台灣文學系碩博士班 === 101 === The paper aims to discuss the formation of Ying-Zhen Chen’s Chinese liberalist Nationalism under anti-imperialist points of view, which directs him to criticize the Independent Movement and Taiwanese Literature. As we know, Ying-Zhen Chen is a famous figure for the United Movement between Taiwan and China. He also was claimed as a leftist Intellecture who has consciousness of anti-imperialism and Chinese nationalism. Recently, some studies of Ying-Zhen Chen show how these studies have been producing and avoiding the context of Taiwan history. For example, Ying-Zhen Chen’s early works took an attitude for undermining the lower class instead of recognition the class for itself. Therefore, I think it is important to analyze why Ying-Zhen Chen’s main consciousness of anti-imperialist nationalism is not necessarily related to his leftist identity.
My study tries to put Ying-Zhen Chen’s literature and critics in the context of Taiwan’s history and to check his Chinese liberalist Nationalism. Ying-Zhen Chen has embarked the line of the National Liberalist Literature in the 1960’s. Since 1975, his thought combined with the wave of ‘Return to Reality’ and insisted on anti-imperialism. After the end of Taiwan Nativist Literature Debate, he also encouraged the United Movement between Taiwan and China. He introduced discourses of the Third-Worldism, the Cold-War Division System and Taiwanese characteristic of Taiwan and created an idea that there are no reason that Taiwan and Taiwanese Literature should be separated from Chinese Literature. But I disagree with his ideas because he did not escape logics of the dualism between colonized and imperialism. Furthermore, I will take Ashis Nandy’s point of view to analyze the limitation of Ying-Zhen Chen.
