【講者簡介】
Denisa Hilbertova teaches at the Masaryk University in Brno. Her focus is on modern Taiwanese history and contemporary Taiwan. She studied at National Chengchi University, SOAS and Charles University.
The aim of this talk is to provide a discourse analysis of official communist propaganda in Czechoslovakia on Taiwan in comparison of discourse analysis of Taiwan in Czechoslovak underground literature. The time frame of the study is from February 1948 to November 1989, the period of communist rule in Czechoslovakia. As unusual as it might seems due to a geographical distance, Communist Party of Czechoslovakia took quite an interest in Taiwanese political development. Czechoslovak media, as a member of Eastern bloc, followed official Soviet statements towards Taiwan during the Cold War period. However, Czechoslovakia had very close ideological and business relations with PRC in the 1950s and as a result Chiang Kai-shek, Kuomintang and the fate of Republic of China was widely covered and became a popular part of communist propaganda, caricatures, and even common jokes, the most popular or the most distributed newspapers and magazines published by the Party are used as a source.
Because Taiwan was used so widely in communist propaganda it is only naturally that also underground literature took interest in the island too. In the turbulent decade of 1980s when democratization that was unfolding in Taiwan, the island became an inspiration for a community of dissidents, especially when Taiwan started its democratization journey. Their main source of information were Czechoslovak emigrants living in the West. Those exiles had the option to travel to Taiwan and provide first-hand records in a form of an underground literature.
