Using the corpus-assisted discourse studies (CADS) method, we analyzed fake news identified as such by two Taiwanese fact-checking institutions during the pandemic. While the pandemic prevention as doxa was acknowledged, the discourses of fake news aimed to challenge the state's constructed nomos. Through cultural, social, political, and symbolic capital, these stories could leverage their power in the field of COVID communication. We argue that the dissemination of pandemic-related fake news, especially those that promoted resistance to the strict measures implemented by governments, can be understood as a manifestation of nonconformity to COVID-19 protocols. Referring to fake news as an infectious disease oversimplifies communication and hinders critical thinking.

gender-specific. Women are more susceptible than men to experience the
effects of Covid-19. Since the global outbreak of Covid-19, the rates of
unemployment among women have increased. They have been required to
spend more time attending to children and household chores and have
experienced more domestic violence because of stay-home restrictions. This study employed critical discourse analysis to investigate reports on three Taiwanese newspapers published between January 2020 and July 2021. The analysis revealed that women were not represented sufficiently and that the issues of gender inequality were marginalized. The analysis also revealed that patriarchal ideology still dominates society; therefore, women’s contribution to care work is taken for granted. This study urges Taiwanese newspapers to account for women’s needs and promote gender equality.

Communication technologies such as the Internet and smartphones have exacerbated this behavior, which affects news production. Numerous scholars have argued that the Internet has made immediacy the prime goal of journalism, which has damaged its virtue. Whether the Internet has deteriorated the quality of journalism has yet to be determined. Few studies have investigated journalistic practices involving the Internet. Upon a review of the literature, this study discussed “a fetishism of the present” in journalism. Furthermore, through in-depth interviews and observations of experienced news and media workers, this study examined the changes in temporal orders in news production, as well as journalists’work strategies and reflexive thoughts regarding news values in the age of the Internet.

Until recently, coffee had been exotic to the Taiwanese consumers. The drink was brought to Taiwan by its former Japanese colonizer as a symbol of Western modernization. In the post-War Taiwan, coffee was considered a luxurious import and discouraged by the authority. It was Taiwan’s close political and economic relations with the US during and 1950s – 70s that attributed coffee’s common association with the ‘American dream’. Since the 1990s, chained coffee shops started to provide coffee at reasonable prices and turned coffee houses into popular meeting places in the cities. The changing meanings of coffee should be understood in the context of Taiwan’s political, economic and cultural transformation.

Being assisted by well-developed cultural industries, including magazines, newspapers, films and popular music, the influences of modernity had penetrated everyday life in Japan by the mid-1920s. The enthusiasm towards modernity reached the Japanese colonies in the 1930s. Until the outbreak of the Second Sino–Japanese War in 1937, Taiwanese society underwent a decade-long proliferation period of consumption, influenced by the convergence of urbanism, colonialism and modernism. The ‘modern’ experiences in 1930s Taiwan were largely influenced by media technologies. By conducting an examination through the story ‘Inviolable Destiny’ and other historical materials, this article shows how the consumption of radio signified multiple distinctions among ethnicities, classes, genders, generations and spaces in colonial Taiwan. The combination of radio and print media constituted an intertwined network that shaped the tempos of urban life. A constructed standard national time converged with rational institutions and generated a massive scale of coordination between Taiwan and the rest of the world. Radio did not only broadcast the content, which transferred public affairs into the private space, but also formulated a hidden rhythm of structured punctuality in daily life.

本研究以125份大學生自我與相互觀察日記為文本,從時間與空間的質變,複合的 認同與科技,以及因應忙碌的心情與策略三個方向來討論。藉由觀察行動者與網路科技 互動的細節,本研究發現,現代社會不停追求更有效率的工作方式,這種需求與網際網 路的特性相呼應,創造出許多新「常態」,並影響了日常生活的韻律。使用網路的方式 反映人們的生活韻律,網路的本質也影響了任務的形式與實踐的方式。同時,經驗累積 實踐的智慧,因此雖然忙碌帶來焦慮,但人們也培養出更多因應的小技巧,包括安排工 作的方式,利用零碎時間的機動性等等,這些細微策略展現了人的主體性,也開啟社會 轉變的契機。

Baseball was foreign to Taiwan when it was first introduced to the island. The sport then crossed the ethnic and class boundary between the Japanese colonizer and the Taiwanese islander in the 1920s, later the Taiwanese natives and the Chinese mainlanders in the 1970s, and in turn became a symbol of Taiwanese nationalism. This article argues that baseball does not circulate a fixed meaning as it travels to different places. The story of Taiwanese baseball indicates the interpenetration of colonialism, class, ethnicity, and nationalism.

In addition, procedures for promoting sustainable consumption seldom incorporate domestic workers’ opinions and often increase women’s housework loads. This article employs a practice-based approach to examine the “Energy-Saving, Carbon Reduction” movement, a series of sustainable consumption policies that have been advocated by the Taiwanese government since 2008. The goal of the movement is to encourage an eco-friendly lifestyle. On the basis of empirical data collected through ethnographic interviews, this article argues that existing policies unexpectedly increase women’s burdens and exacerbate gender inequality.

Situating in the narrations of urban life provided by ‘Inviolable Destiny’, the article aims to depict the complicated networks constituted by radio and other media technologies, and to investigate the inter-relationships between new media technologies, consumerism and modernity. Being influenced by globalization, Japan witnessed huge transformations of lifestyles and the rise of mass media and popular culture during the interwar period. Radio was introduced to Taiwan by its ruler with great enthusiasm toward modernity. Although it was the colonizer’s intention to discipline the colonized by means of radio, the medium turned into an important source of information and entertainment for lay people. The radio also privatized synchronization and made punctuality an inseparable part of modern life. It affected the rhythms of cities and brought Taiwan into the complex systems of capitalism and globalization.
本文由小說《命運難違》所描寫的場景切入,參照日治時 期報章文獻,回顧三〇年代前期臺灣都會生活中使用廣播的經 驗,描繪廣播與其他傳播科技所共構的媒體網絡,藉此理解當 時臺灣社會接觸新傳播科技、消費主義與現代性的經驗。本文 將三〇年代臺灣的大眾媒體經驗,置於二次戰間日本受到全球 化影響,大眾文化興起且大幅改變生活方式的背景下討論。廣 播在日本熱切擁抱現代性的社會氣氛中被介紹至臺灣,雖帶有 殖民政府規訓人民的意圖,但也成為民眾重要的資訊與娛樂來 源,將精準時間的邏輯融入日常,影響都市的生活韻律,並把 臺灣帶入全球化與資本主義的運作體系。

There is a rich body of literature concerning the features of time in modern societies. Scholars often consider that the information and communication technologies (ICTs) play a crucial role in changing paces of life.

In the context of climate change, governments and international organizations often promote a 'sustainable lifestyle'. However, this approach has been criticized for underestimating the complexity of everyday life and therefore makes little sense to the consumers. In addition, procedures to promote sustainable consumption seldom incorporate house workers' opinions and often cause the increase of women's housework loads.This article employs a practice based approach to examine the 'Energy-saving, Carbon deduction' movement-a series of sustainable consumption policies that have been advocated by the Taiwanese government since 2008. The goal of the movement was to encourage an eco-friendly lifestyle. On the basis of empirical data collected by ethnographic interviews, this article explores how and why people have limited autonomy in changing lifestyles. Furthermore, it argues that existing policies unexpectedly increase women's burdens and cause further gender inequality.

This study explored how instant messaging (IM) is used in the social context in Taiwan. By using archival analysis and ethnographic interviews with Taiwanese university graduates and students in their final year, the author investigated how the strategies of communication through IM are closely related to the shifting of life stages. In this paper, the author addresses how the characteristics of software may influence the users’ strategies, how IM has been integrated with other technologies for various purposes, how the methods of use reflect changes in users’ lifestyles, and how the collective domestication of IM contributes to the formation of a new morality of communication. This paper provides a theoretical contribution to domestication theory by expanding the scope of empirical study from
material objects, such as television and mobile phones, to nonmaterial objects, such as online communication.

The edited volume includes original studies on the modern girl in Taiwan, Korea, Manchuria, Japan, Shanghai, and Hong Kong, which reveal differentiated forms of colonial modernity, influences of global media and the struggles of women at the time. The advent of the East Asian modern girl is particularly meaningful for it signifies a separation from traditional Confucian influences and progression toward global media and capitalism, which involves high political and economic tension between the East and West. This book presents geo-historical investigations on the multi-force triggered phenomenon and how it eventually contributed to greater post-war transformations.
