Dienstag | 13.00 Uhr | Reconstructing Survival Mechanisms—Travel Narrations of Yin Hai-guang and Wu Zhuo-liu during the Martial Law Period LIN Shu-Hui Traveling far away creates distance—useful to critical (philosophical) thinking. Travelers are in a unique position to review the past, revise their outlook on life, and choose a direction for the future. Yin Hai-guang wrote his travelogues as a visiting scholar to the Unitied States of America in 1955. They not only have a meaning as life reconstructions but they also implicitly criticize Taiwan under martial law. From the travel narratives that Yin published in different media, among them Free China 自由中國and, “Motherland Weekly” 祖國周刊, we find the use of space/travel as metaphor in the reconstruction of his life as self-narrative—the shore of Lake Washington in Seattle, USA, for example, becomes a metaphor of longing for freedom. Reading Yin Hai-guang’s travel narratives, readers are able to learn about some of the rather existentialist questions posing themselves to a Taiwanese in this very special era of Cold War.
