By drawing on the discourse of nine carefully selected journal articles,this paper substantiates the author’s observation that, as an emerging researchfield, Hakka studies in Taiwan have experienced a significant paradigm shiftin the post–Hakka movement era, especially after 2000. Four paradigm shiftswere identified in the aforementioned articles. The first shift is from the perspectiveof emigrant Hakka individuals in Taiwan to the indigenized TaiwaneseHakka; the second shift is from a narrowly defined “geographical localism”to a socially scientific understanding of an “ethnic group” and “ethnicinteraction”; the third shift is from settlement history studies to ethnic politicsand related policy research; and the fourth shift is from comparisons with theorigins of the Hakka people’s ancestry to comparison with the Hakka peopleof the world. |
