타이베이제국대학 문정（文政）학부의 남양（南洋） 연구（1928-1945）

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study examines the formation and development of South Seas （Nanyō） studies conducted by the Faculty of Letters and Politics at Taipei Imperial University from its establishment in 1928 to the end of Japanese colonial rule in 1945. While previous studies have mainly focused on wartime southern expansion policies and military or economic aspects, this study explores how knowledge and perceptions of the South Seas were constructed within the fields of humanities and social sciences. In doing so, it seeks to understand South Seas studies not merely as policy-oriented research, but as part of an academic knowledge system institutionalized within the imperial university framework. Taipei Imperial University was founded in close connection with Japan’s South China and South Seas policy. Within this structure, the Faculty of Letters and Politics recognized the South Seas as a research space where history, ethnicity, culture, and maritime networks intersected. In particular, the Department of History established a chair in South Seas History （Nanyō-shigaku）, which did not exist in the imperial universities of mainland Japan. In addition, research on the indigenous societies of Taiwan and the South Seas was conducted through the chair of Ethnology and Anthropology. South Seas studies were also carried out in connection with various academic fields, including Japanese history and Oriental history. This study analyzes course catalogs, departmental research bulletins, academic associations, and individual research papers in order to examine the actual structure and contents of South Seas studies within the Faculty of Letters and Politics. The analysis shows that early South Seas studies primarily focused on humanities-based approaches to history, ethnicity, and culture. However, with the establishment of the Institute for Southern Humanities Studies in the 1940s, research expanded toward more practical and policy-oriented subjects, including systems of governance, economic structures, and social organization. During the wartime period, South Seas studies further developed into an integrated research system connected with natural science fields such as resource development, tropical medicine, and hygiene. After 1945, Taipei Imperial University was reorganized into National Taiwan University, and its academic system underwent significant restructuring. Although South Seas studies experienced substantial discontinuity in the postwar period, some research personnel and institutional structures were partially inherited. Later, under the Cold War system and the process of Taiwanization, South Seas studies became marginalized, but in recent decades they have been reexamined from the perspectives of maritime history and regional studies. Ultimately, this study argues that South Seas studies at the Faculty of Letters and Politics of Taipei Imperial University were not simply wartime policy studies that emerged abruptly in the 1940s. Rather, they constituted a continuous field of humanities and social science research that had been institutionalized since the university’s foundation. At the same time, these studies should be understood both as a form of knowledge production closely tied to Japan’s southern expansion policy and as a historical academic tradition later reinterpreted within the postwar East Asian intellectual landscape.
