課程目標：本課程目標在於閱讀過往學者對於台灣社會發展過程的研究，來了解台灣政治、經濟、社會的重要面向與發展。透過對照各種不同的研究觀點，本課程希望修課同學能夠理解台灣在社會發展中的特殊性，並透過批判性思考討論這些觀點可能忽略的面相或認知盲點，藉此挖掘這些相關領域的新興研究方向。
課程概論：馬克思認為下層結構（經濟）的變化會造成上層結構（政治、文化、思想等）的變遷。本課程將台灣作為經驗場域，討論台灣戰後的經濟發展過程如何影響了當前的社會思想的潮流與演變過程。過往社會學研究往往忽略了「時間」與「空間」這兩個結構層次的變項如何影響社會的變遷，本課程希望透過針對台灣經濟史與社會史的各種文獻回顧，思索台灣身處東亞的特殊性為何，並將討論的焦點聚焦在戰後台灣的發展過程。另為了對戰後台灣有著更深一層的理解，本文前三週授課將概略地回顧荷蘭、清朝、以及日本殖民統治時期的台灣經濟發展特色，作為理解戰後發展的前情提要。接著本文將討論各種分析台灣戰後經濟發展過程的理論與經驗研究，作為思考台灣未來創新可能的分析框架。
Course Objective: The goal of this course is to read past scholars’ research on Taiwan’s social development process to understand the important aspects and development of Taiwan’s politics, economy, and society. By comparing various research viewpoints, this course hopes that students can understand the particularity of Taiwan in social development, and discuss through critical thinking the aspects or cognitive blind spots that may be overlooked by these viewpoints, so as to explore emerging research in these related fields. direction.
Course Overview: Marx believed that changes in the lower structure (economics) will cause changes in the upper structure (politics, culture, ideology, etc.). This course uses Taiwan as a field of experience to discuss how Taiwan's postwar economic development process has affected the current trends and evolution of social thought. Past sociological research has often ignored how the two structural variables of "time" and "space" affect social changes. This course hopes to think about Taiwan's situation in East Asia through a review of various literature on Taiwan's economic history and social history. Why is it special? And the focus of discussion is on the development process of post-war Taiwan. In addition, in order to have a deeper understanding of post-war Taiwan, the first three weeks of this article will briefly review the characteristics of Taiwan's economic development during the Dutch, Qing, and Japanese colonial periods, as a prerequisite for understanding post-war development. This article will then discuss various theoretical and empirical studies that analyze Taiwan's postwar economic development process as an analytical framework for thinking about Taiwan's future innovation possibilities.
