Convergence and Mutation of Martial Arts in Taiwan: Diversity, Tradition and Modernity
2024 will be the 400th year anniversary of the first Taiwanese city, Tainan, but also that of the first conference of the Martial Arts Project (MAP). We wish to take advantage of this event to highlight the diversity of work relating to Chinese martial arts in a transdisciplinary approach. This will be an opportunity to build bridges between the different disciplines and to highlight and connect Taiwanese and foreign researchers who work around this multi-faceted object.
This event will be divided into four days of presentations, workshops and demonstrations, mainly at the CEFC of the Academia Sinica and at the University of Chinese Culture in Taipei.
To do this, this conference proposes to reflect on the relationship between Chinese martial arts and history, society, politics, culture, economy, science and art in Taiwan and abroad. Below, we propose five six around this object for the intervention proposals:
Theme 1: History of Martial Arts in Taiwan
Theme 2: Martial Arts in Dance, Theatre and Media
Theme 3: Martial Arts, Philosophy and Taiwanese Religion
Theme 4: Martial Arts and Health: An Approach Through Sport and Medicine
Theme 5: Society, Politics and Martial Arts
Theme 6: Chinese Martial Arts in the World Today
