The February Twenty-Eighth (or 2/28) Incident led to four decades of martial law that became known as the White Terror. During this period, talk of 2/28 was forbidden and all dissent violently suppressed, but since the lifting of martial law in 1987, this long-buried history has been revisited through commemoration and narrative, cinema and remembrance.Drawing on a wealth of secondary theoretical material as well as her own original research, Sylvia Li-chun Lin conducts a close analysis of the political, narrative, and ideological structures involved in the fictional and cinematic representations of the 2/28 Incident and White Terror. She assesses the role of individual and collective memory and institutionalized forgetting, while underscoring the dangers of re-creating a historical past and the risks of trivialization. She also compares her findings with scholarly works on the Holocaust and the aftermath of the atomic bombings of Japan, questioning the politics of forming public and personal memories and the political teleology of "closure." This is the first book to be published in English on the 2/28 Incident and White Terror and offers a valuable matrix of comparison for studying the portrayal of atrocity in a specific locale. 410 0$aGlobal Chinese culture. 517 3 $a2/28 incident and white terror in fiction and film 606 $aHISTORY / Asia / China$2bisacsh 607 $aTaiwan$xHistory$y1945- 607 $aTaiwan$xHistory$yFebruary Twenty Eighth Incident, 1947 607 $aTaiwan$xHistory 608 $aElectronic books. 615 7$aHISTORY / Asia / China. 676 $a951.24/905 700 $aLin$b Sylvia Li-chun$01029975 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910452856903321 996 $aRepresenting atrocity in Taiwan$92469597 997 $aUNINA
