the Event Poster - East Asian Studies at UC Davis

2015 East Asian Studies Lecture Series proudly presents:
Civility, Taiwanese Civility,
and the Taiwanese Civility
Reconstructed by Mainlanders
Professor Yunxiang Yan
Department of Anthropology,
Director of the Center for Chinese Studies,
University of California, Los Angeles
This talk traces the complicated
relationships between Western
civility, Taiwanese civility, and the
image of Taiwanese civility popular in mainland China. It shows how the mainland vision, which takes
preservation of traditional Chinese culture as a defining feature of Taiwanese civility, is contested and
resisted by opinion leaders and ordinary
people in Taiwan.
