To promote the understanding and scholarly research of Taiwan literature worldwide and to celebrate the publication of Christopher Lupke’s English translation of Yeh Shi-tíao’s Taiwan Wenxue Shigang [A History Of Taiwan Literature], the Center for Taiwan Studies (CTS) will host an international conference, Taiwan Literature and History, October 20-21, 2006. The purpose of this conference is to:

• Enhance the understanding of Taiwan literature as it has developed since 1895 in three epoch-making periods: the Japanese occupation period (1895-1945), the postwar period (1945-1987), and the period after the repeal of martial law (1987 to present);
• Discuss particular issues involved with the writing of the history of Taiwan literature, exchanging perspectives and interpretations of Taiwan literature and history;
• and Strengthen the academic interaction between the CTS and international scholars, graduate students, and translators of Taiwan literature.
