| dc.description.abstract | Military dependent’s villages were formed by many special reasons in Taiwan’s history. The people from different provinces or regions of China had gradually constructed some distinctive cultures. These military dependent’s village cultures become cardinal importance parts of modern Taiwan’s cultures. Thus, in this study, I explore development of these cultures by analyzing the literatures of military dependent’s village by the authors of the second generation of military dependent’s village (We-jen Su, Jun-jun Yun, Tien-hsing Ju and Tien-wen Ju etc.) from the time period of 1970 to early 1990s. Through these author’s novels, I investigate that how military dependent’s villagers face and surpass these problems of ethnicism, generation gap, matrimony etc.
There are 5 chapters in my paper. The summary is as follow:
Chapter 1: “Introduction”. From literature reviews, especially the novels written by novelists who grew up in military dependent’s villages, I try to find out their attitudes and behaviors on the horns of a dilemma when they faced problems in different stages of lives.
Chapter 2:”Between 2 generations”. The power from fathers is everywhere in the military dependent’s villages, even though they are seldom at home. Mothers become the soul in their villages. Mothers must uphold their husbands in their belief and practice various little economics. Therefore, the relationships between mothers and children are delicate. On the other hand, powerful but feudalistic fathers have to face the same changeable relationships in their families.
Chapter 3:”Between men and women”. In the progress of life time, at first, I discuss the causes and effects of the embarrassing sexual relationships from their childhood to their youth. Second, Their grow-up experiences in blocked military dependent’s villages often affect their love stories and marriages.
Chapter 4:”Between the straits”. From 1990s, our government environment have changed tremendously. The first generation who lives in military independent’s villages experiencing the travels from Mainland China to Taiwan. They are patriotic but wandering. They used to be the people in charge with supreme powers. Now their customs and cultures no longer dominate the society. In addition to the forcible reconstruction of their villages, they feel especially anxious and lost.
Chapter 5:”Conclusion”. To sum up my studies and researches, I hope the people from military dependent’s villages will entrench themselves in Taiwan’s society and create their own wonderland here again. | en_US |
