Thesis (M.A.)--State University of New York at Binghamton, 2016.

This thesis undertakes the music work composed by ChthoniC, a Taiwanese rock band, to explore the representations of specific turn from the Taiwanese anticolonial consciousness to the Taiwanese nationalist identity under the colonial rules of the Japanese empire and the Chinese Nationalist Government. This turn narrows down the possibilities of imagining the meanings and practices of decolonization beyond the frames of the modern nation-state. By analyzing the universalization of Western epistemology and the linear thinking of time that constructs the modern-premodern dichotomy, this thesis explores how the colonized took these ideas up as tools for self-assimilation to approach the modern West. As a part of colonial framework, the modern nation-state on one hand offers the colonized a modern form of recognizability, while on the other hand denies the wider and deeper decolonial imaginations that do not fit in the modern. The colonization of knowledge in this way continues, which is more difficult to be recognized and to be refused than the colonization of administration in the past. Taking ChthoniC's work as an example, this study examines the discontent of non-Western nation-state illustrated in the Taiwanese nationalist identity. First, the representation of marginalized indigenous people as fixed to the premodern in opposition to the hegemonic Han-modern core is analyzed. Second, the Taiwanese nationalist identity's identification to the imperial powers, revealed by the different depictions of Taiwan's former colonizers and the non-depiction of the Cold-War structure and the United State, is scrutinized. The last section dissects the problematic demarcation between the colonial and the postcolonial widely accepted by Taiwanese people, and aims at pushing the self-image of "orphan of Asia" further to the decolonial understanding of other human beings living in the exteriority of colonial mapping.
