Research Unit on Taiwanese Culture and Literature/Forschungsstelle fuer taiwanesische Kultur und Literatur
Department of Chinese Language and Culture, Ruhr University Bochum, Bochum, Germany
Self-description: "Since the early 1980s, under the leadership of the late Professor Helmut Martin (died June 1999), the research activities of the Department of Chinese Languages and Literatures of the Faculty for East Asian Studies focused increasingly on Taiwan, in particular the country's cultural development. It is thanks to the commitment of Professor Martin that the Department has at its disposal one of the largest research libraries on the subject of Taiwanese culture and literature in Europe. A three-year project, funded by the Chiang Ching-kuo Foundation for International Scholarly Exchange in Taipei, Taiwan, R.O.C., which got underway in September 1999, aimed to establish [13 Nov 2002 - ed.] the 'Research Unit on Taiwanese Culture and Literature' as a forum of contact and cooperation in the field of Taiwan Studies in order to counter the marginalization of Taiwan research."
