FUKIEN AND TAIWAN WORKSHOP

In July 1995, the Sinological Institute of Leiden University
and the College of Liberal Arts of National Taiwan University
will organize a joint international workshop, entitled "Fukien
and Taiwan in the 19th and 20th Centuries: Contacts and
Contrasts" in Leiden.
During the workshop, which will be held 5-9 July, participants
will explore the characteristic elements of social
organization and cultural forms in both Fukien and Taiwan from
a multidisciplinary perspective. The conference will focus on
the processes by which patterns of organizational and cultural
expression have been transplanted from Southern Fukien to
Taiwan, and on the ways in which these patterns have then been
further developed. The adaptation of traditional social
organizations and cultural forms to the various modernization
processes in both regions will be given special emphasis.
