研究実績の概要 |
This research project examines how state authorities in Taiwan and Korea adapted colonial-era family registries to invent national identity passes, alien residency passes, and passports that strengthened their control over citizens and foreigners alike. During the first year, I conducted archival research in the United States that related to the liberation of Taiwan and Korea from Japanese colonial rule, and how that affected the issue of nationality in those territories occupied by Allied authorities after WWII. Specifically, I spent eight days between May and June 2023 examining relevant materials at Columbia University's Oral History Archives and Princeton University's special collection including the George Kennan Papers and the John Foster Dulles Papers. I also conducted archival research in Taiwan for six days in September 2023, examining administrative records related to the Republic of China's household registry and nationality laws that are located in at Academia Historica and the Institute of Modern History at Academia Sinica.
