Abstract
Shifting between continuity and rupture, sameness and difference, identity is constantly shaping and reshaping by various positionings. The constant positionings are significant in the process of winning hegemony. The discourse of "Taiwan subjectivity" has been created and has become a "regime of the truth" within only a few years, not just relying on establishing a broad bloc of social forces through the intermediary of ideology, but more importantly, depending on a vigorous process of otherings. The article thus maps the struggles between contested discourses and follows the construction of a Taiwan-centric identity in the 1990s.
