新南方論述《邦查女孩》與定居殖民批判

Beginning with a discussion of Australian sociologist Raewyn Connell's "southern theory, " this essay takes the burgeoning field of settler colonial studies as methodology to investigate the discursive connection between Taiwan and the Global South. I argue that it is exactly the settler colonial structure in Taiwan, as well as its convergence with the US during the Cold War era, that forecloses its possibility to partake in the discussion of the Global South. Next, by reading Taiwanese writer Gan Yaoming's novel The Pangcah Girl through the lens of settler colonial criticism, this essay attempts to reconnect Taiwan with the Global South and further explore their discursive relationality that has long been ignored and under-researched.
