At issue was the production of camphor, a crystalline substance derived from the cinnamomum camphora tree. Central to the expansion of imperial control in this strategic zone of resource extraction was the concept of indigenous Taiwanese as “savage.” Both Qing and Japanese colonizers employed this concept at great lengths to craft assimilation programs, and to carry out punishing military assaults. This essay revisits the figure of the savage and how it shaped the structures of late Qing and Japanese colonial governance in the Taiwan highlands. In doing so, it showcases not only how dehumanizing constructs shape the actions of colonizers, but also how these evolve across multiple empires., II 若手研究者の日本研究(第26回日文研海外シンポジウム発表より)}, pages = {64--84}, title = {Producing Colonial Difference at High Elevation : The Figure of the “Savage” during the Late Qing and Modern Japanese Regimes in Indigenous Taiwan}, volume = {2021}, year = {2022} }
