日本殖民台湾时期糖业文化书写研究

Taiwan's Sugar Industry Culture Writing in Japanese Colonial Period

日据台湾五十余年间,糖业作为台湾经济的核心问题,是殖民当局规划台湾经济的重点。台湾的制糖产业不仅为日本帝国带来了巨大的利润,也成为其勾勒台湾未来蓝图的方向标。近年,日本、台湾地区学界频繁地出现美化日本殖民统治台湾的论调,并多以日本殖民台湾时期所进行的现代化事业为佐证。在不同历史时段的媒体报道与纪实性作品等第一手资料中,可以解读到当时知识分子在糖业公共政策、资源配置、农民运动和蔗农个体意识等层面的相关论述,据此可进一步探讨殖民现代性的混杂性和多义性。

During the Japanese colonial period, Taiwan＇ s sugar industry is the key for the colonial governor＇ s management over economy. Sugar industry not only brings high profits to Imperial Japanese, but also becomes a new direction with the colonial governor＇s blueprint for Taiwan＇s future. This paper is based on media reports and documentary works in different historical level and condition of Taiwan. We can see the intellectuals＇ discussion of the public policy and resource allocation of sugar industry, the peasant movement and the individual consciousness of sugarcane growers. Thus we can study the mind of hybridity and ambiguity of colonial modernity
