For making an 'imagined community,' the nationalist not only invents the concepts of 'us' or 'our traditions' to maintain national identity but also constructs the images of 'others' or 'our enemies' to differentiate them from us. In Taiwan, the major 'enemies' are Korea and China, two neighbor countries having close relationship with Taiwan in politics, economy, and culture fields. By both quantitative content analysis and qualitative discourse analysis of the media reports on related sport events since the 1980s, this paper examines the development and characteristics of 'anti-Korea' and 'anti-China' discourse. First, the amounts of both anti-Korea and anti-China discourse have increased in the globalization era of 2000s in which Taiwanese economy became in relative disadvantage to Korea and China. Moreover, the number of anti-Korea discourses is obviously more than that of anti-China through the 1980s to 2000s, while the later has increased in the 2000s as the Chinese economy grew rapidly. Second, these nationalist discourses have been transformed from 'politic speech' under the governmental control in the 1980s and 1990s, to a 'non-politic/entertaining sentimental performances' by ordinary people and celebrities or artists in the entertainment industry in the 2000s. Third, the so-called 'festival nationalism' on Taiwanese media nationalism discourse in the globalization era mainly concentrated on anti-Korea sentiment reports, which was resulted from the competitions of the national economy and the entertainment industry among the three East Asian countries. This paper, thus, illustrates how sporting nationalism have been influenced by the economic competitions, and also demonstrates the transformation and re-construction of nationalism by the cultural economy, rather than built by political power, in the globalization age. |
