Global Hakka, Local Ties 全球客家在地化

As a globally dispersed ethnic group, the Hakka people have undergone processes of local adaptation, interethnic interaction, and localization wherever they have settled. A particularly compelling narrative lies in how Hakka communities around the world, in their pursuit of identity, continually seek connection with one another while maintaining deep and complex ties with their places of origin.

Professor Lieh-Shih Lo of National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University reexamines the history of Hakka in Taiwan and compares it with Hakka experiences in Southeast Asia, exploring the dynamics of globalization and localization within the Hakka diaspora. The talk also aims to collaborate with Hakka communities in Toronto and Vancouver to sketch a contemporary picture of the Hakka presence in Canada.

 

客家作為全球化的族群，無論定居何方，都經歷了適應當地、族群互動與在地化的歷程；更為精采的篇章在於世界各地的客家，在追求身份認同的生命經驗中，總是持續尋求彼此連結，並且與原居地保持千絲萬縷的關係。陽明交通大學羅烈師教授重新思索臺灣客家史，以之與東南亞客家參照，描述前述全球化與在地化的族群經驗。最後也嘗試與多倫多及溫哥華客家界，共同勾勒加拿大客家形貌。
