Historical recognition constructed under control of multi-layered foreign powers, including Japan: An anthropological comparison between Taiwan and Micronesia

这项研究的重点是台湾和密克罗尼西亚(国际联盟委任的领土)，这两个国家都经历过日本的殖民统治。基于这些地区当地人的观点，对两个具体主题进行了人类学个案研究。首先，我们考察了经历过不同程度“文明”的人对日本的看法，以及他们对日本的认识是如何转变的。例如，在遇到日本之前，汉人内化了中国文化，台湾原住民有限地体验了中国文化，密克罗尼西亚人经历了西方国家的统治。根据他们接触其他文明的程度不同，他们对日本的认识自然会因群体而异。其次，我们确定了第二次世界大战日本战败后，另一个外国势力的统治对这些地区人民的历史意识和文化发展的影响。

This research focused on Taiwan and Micronesia (a League of Nations mandated territory), both of which experienced Japanese colonial rule. Based on the perspectives of local people in these regions, anthropological case studies were carried out on two specific themes. First, we examined how people with varying degrees of experience encountering 'civilization' viewed Japan, and how their awareness of Japan was transformed. For example, before encountering Japan, the Han Chinese internalized Chinese culture, Taiwanese indigenous people experienced Chinese culture to a limited extent, and the Micronesian people experienced rule by Western nations. The awareness they had of Japan naturally differ from group to group according to the degree in which they had been exposed to other civilizations. Secondly, we ascertained the effects that rule by another alien power following Japan's defeat in World War II had on the development of historical awareness and culture among people in these areas.
