ABSTRACT

This  study  surveys  the  Sunflower  Movement  (March  18,  2014  ~  April  10, 2014), a youth movement in Taiwan, from a different post‐colonial perspective  as  compared  to  Korea. Since  the  global  financial  crisis  and  new  cold  war  in  East  Asia,  young  people have started to become more proactive as voters of representative politics  and  as  sovereign  entities.  Based  on  the  dystopian  diagnosis  of  ‘Josun escape’ and ‘ghost island,’ the young adults of Korea and Taiwan have  desired  to  move  beyond  authoritarian  developmentalism  since  it  settled in the post‐colonial era. Although both countries have experienced similar  situations  in  terms  of  politics  and  economics,  moving  from  the  old to new empires of Japan and the United States, the countries have slightly  different  contexts,  such  as  ‘pro‐Japanese.’
