國史館今在總統府秘書長潘孟安監交下,由卸任館長陳儀深交接給新任館長的台灣史學者陳翠蓮。陳翠蓮致詞時直言,近年「偷換概念」情況嚴重,民選政府權力明明受節制監督,卻被指控為威權獨裁,甚至有人盜用民主運動名號籌組「黨外大聯盟」,這類嘲諷與混淆會腐蝕民眾對民主自由的信心,國史館未來將深耕民主化歷史、建構不分族群的「台灣共同體」向心力,並謹慎處理轉型正義深水區的監控檔案。

談到工作重點,陳翠蓮說明,首先是「持續深耕台灣民主化歷史」,好好回頭審視什麼是威權統治、獨裁統治?威權獨裁為什麼對社會造成傷害?在那樣的時代下,不同族群各自有什麼樣的境遇?又如何攜手共同推進、爭取民主化?哪一些鮮明的影像,是應該留在社會共同記憶、作為典範?這是第一個部分要做的。

請繼續往下閱讀...

陳翠蓮直言,近年「偷換概念」的情況非常嚴重,民選政府的權力明明受到各種節制與監督,卻被惡意指控為威權、獨裁、什麼什麼恐怖、「民選獨裁」,甚至有人盜用民主運動的名號要組「黨外大聯盟」,這種嘲諷、混淆與打擊會腐蝕民眾對民主自由的信心,只有透過不斷記憶、反覆釐清威權與民主的實際差異,才能捍衛民主體制。

第二、共同建構匯聚「我們共同體」的歷史。陳翠蓮指出,戰後70多年台灣經歷退出聯合國、與美國斷交等多次外交挫敗與國際危機,台灣從受援國走向現在的富饒多元,科技創新、農業改革與醫療技術都是獨步全球,這是國人共同努力的成果,讓台灣從國際孤兒變成國際矚目。

陳翠蓮表示,在外國想要了解台灣的同時,很重要的是,我們共同體本身不分族群,應該回過頭來好好梳理歷史、檢視那些共同經歷過的挑戰與共同奮鬥的成果,越是不斷地強化共同的歷史記憶,越能增進我們護衛共同體的決心,更增強對台灣共同體的向心力。

第三、探索處理過去困難的歷史,陳翠蓮指出,轉型正義已進入「深水區」,大量可觀的政治監控檔案出土後,讓我們了解威權體制的運作、社會控制的進行,但也留下非常艱難的課題,比如檔案中的「線民」都是加害者嗎?是不是真的出賣同胞、造成傷害?社會大眾應該如何看待?應該公諸於世,還是進一步追究責任?

然而,陳翠蓮也反問,情治機關留下的檔案確實可信嗎?此外,監控檔案讓監控者的隱私大量曝光,可能受到二次傷害,如果沒有經過深入的思考、研究跟梳理,就逕自公開或相信這些檔案,無異是讓威權時期情治機關的幽靈繼續分化我們的社會、傷害社會,讓我們互相懷疑,影響我們社會的安定跟進步。

最後,陳翠蓮期許將國史館打造成「凝聚共同歷史的平台」,讓在台灣這塊土地生活的所有人民,形成對歷史的共識、對共同體的堅強認同,以及對民主體制護衛的決心。

Former Kaohsiung Culture Director Yin Lijin criticized Kuomintang Kaohsiung mayoral candidate Ke Zhien's use of "Xinjuijiang" in his Facebook post as a typo, thinking it reflected his lack of true feelings for Kaohsiung. Ke Zhien's response pointed out that "Juejiang" and "Horijiang" have been used side by side in Kaohsiung for a long time, and pointed out that Yin Li himself had used this writing method in the past, questioning its different standards, and emphasized that urban development should be discussed rather than textual disputes.

China amends National Defense Mobilization Law to give wider reasons and scope for mobilization

China’s newly revised National Defense Mobilization Law will take effect on October 1, marking the first major revision of the law in 16 years. The new law defines national defense mobilization as activities to respond to threats to national sovereignty, unity, territorial integrity, security and development interests. For the first time, "development interests" are included in the reasons for mobilization, and the scope of mobilization is expanded to include data, network security and other fields. Scholars pointed out that the revised law aims to establish capabilities to support large-scale wars and long-term attrition, and can be used for national mobilization during peacetime competition between China and the United States. The assets of Taiwanese businessmen in the mainland may be expropriated, triggering concerns about legal conflicts between the two sides.
