As the title of this conference indicates, it is our attempt to study Taiwan in its wide-ranging contexts --especially regarding Taiwan's politics, economics, society, history and memories, cultural and counter-culture, literature and the arts, and intellectual dynamics. It is our hope that this conference will shed new light on the current situations in Taiwan, as well as Taiwan's cultural legacy in view of the Greater China region.
Needless to say, the question of cultural communication has become increasingly important in global contexts, and translating Taiwan inevitably involves problems of "difference" and "similarity." Thus, we also wish to combine discussions of traditional Chinese culture with those of contemporary Taiwanese phenomena, in an attempt to find new ways of reading Taiwan as we enlarge our perspectives. It is for this reason that we have invited participants from a wide variety of disciplines, and from a wide range of geographical locations.

CONCERT OF TAIWAN MUSIC
Common Room, Branford College, 74 High Street
Concert coordinated by:
Michael Friedmann (Yale University)
Hwang-long Pan (Taipei National University of the Arts)
Chung-kun Hung (Taipei National University of the Arts)
This concert presents works by Hwang-Long Pan (1945- ) and Chung-Kun Hung (1963- ), who represent two different generations of Taiwanese composers. The composers are also differentiated by virtue of their training: Pan was trained in Europe, Hung in the United States. The concert will present five of their compositions, which are deliberately chosen to show as wide as possible a spectrum of musical style among contemporary Taiwanese composers. The composers, who both teach at the Taipei National University of the Arts, will be in attendance, and Professor Hung will make special comments on the program.
