Tuesday | 01:00 PM | Taiwan Perspectives on the United States—Travelogues from the Cultural Cold War LIN Shu-Hui The publication of Taiwan’s travelogues on visits to the United States during the Cultural Cold War is closely related to “The International Visitor Program” of the United States Department of State. Through this public relations program the United States invited elites from Asian countries who were struggling for recognition. As at that time, opportunities for free travel abroad were limited in Taiwan, the travelogues of those selected few who would be invited by the U.S. State Department to travel abroad, were quite important in Taiwan both for “reading the world” and for understanding their home. While the authors of these travelogues had different purposes because of their different individual identities, today’s readers can comprehend the particular structure of feelings at the time. The choice of format and content of these discourses can help us understand the formation of collective consciousness in Taiwan.
