這門課嘗試從文學和行動者的主體狀態去理解日據時期到光復初期被殖民者的掙扎與痛苦，進而探究殖民性的構成和理解。台灣在日本帝國主義下的殖民現代性在冷戰與內戰的體制的隔代殘留問題，直接間接影響當代台灣社會的政治經濟及文化領域。因而，通過深入理解與我們不同時代人在面對歷史局勢下的感受、疑惑和選擇，以及考察他們如何思考和設想可能的出路之後，這門課的目標也在促使我們重新認識帝國主義和台灣的社會性質。這樣，我們才可能從中汲取或借鑒知識分子的精神狀態和知識狀況，以調整當下我們自己的知識學習狀況，並直面和介入當代的社會現象和殖民／後殖民相關論述之批判與討論。

This course attempts to understand the struggle and pain of the colonized people from the period of Japanese occupation to the early days of liberation from the subjective state of literature and actors, and then explores the formation and understanding of coloniality. Taiwan’s colonial modernity under Japanese imperialism is a generational legacy of the Cold War and Civil War institutions, which directly and indirectly affects the political, economic, and cultural fields of contemporary Taiwanese society. Therefore, by in-depth understanding of the feelings, doubts, and choices of people of different generations from ours when faced with historical situations, and by examining how they think and envision possible solutions, the goal of this course is also to prompt us to re-understand imperialism and the social nature of Taiwan. In this way, we can learn or draw lessons from the mental state and knowledge status of intellectuals to adjust our own current knowledge learning status, and directly face and intervene in the criticism and discussion of contemporary social phenomena and colonial/postcolonial related discourses.
