被歷史遺忘的人-01
“People Forgotten by History－White Terror in the Military in the 1950s” Metaverse Curation
The stories of these individuals are not only important for Taiwan's national identity, but are also of some interest to the international academic community.  However, if we think of their memory as never having existed in the public conscience before, how are we supposed to revive it?

The Legacy of Performance of Taiwanese Gezixi in Singapore in the 1960s
The local Fujianese audience greatly approved of the familiar topolect and cultural identity of Taiwan's Gezixi opera, which, coupled with its approachable, popular, lively, and adaptive theatrical qualities, was like a breath of fresh air for them. In the 1930s, Taiwanese Gezixi troupes were one after the other invited to perform in Indonesia and Malaysia, also and this prompted local opera troupes to restructure or set up Gezixi classes.

Industry-Academia Collaboration

  1. The digital governance and virtual economy model developed on the “Chinese Cultural Metaverse Ecosystem Platform” can be used as an effective reference model for the implementation of digital governance of the virtual civil society in Taiwan. In this way, the results of our center’s academic research can be helpful to the government’s implementation of digital development policies.
  2. The “Chinese Cultural Metaverse Ecosystem Platform” created by our center is equipped with innovative technologies such as blockchain digital content protection, NFT smart contract authorization, and digital economy profit-sharing mechanisms, which can be used for industy-academic cooperation with domestic companies in industries related to digital content. Alternatively, the developed technologies can be used in a technology transfer to help domestic companies to take the lead in the field of blockchain digital asset protection and innovative applications.
  3. By utilizing the rich Chinese cultural contents carried on the “Chinese Cultural Metaverse Ecosystem Platform”, we shall operate it as an important metaverse virtual world for creating digital curatorial exhibitions of Chinese culture, conducting digital humanities research into Chinese culture, and disseminating Chinese culture. This will help us to increase the global impact of Chinese culture of Taiwanese cultural subjectivity.
  4. We will establish a subsidiary enterprise with the operational development goal of providing the services of the “Metaverse Digital Curation Ecosystem”.

Social Contribution

  1. The “Chinese Cultural Metaverse Ecosystem Platform” we are establishing will be open to all domestic university libraries and government organizations as a valuable digital content collection for cultural assets. As an open platform for digital curatorial applications, it serves as a public platform for the realization of digital collection content building, digital humanities academic research, and cultural dissemination. It will allow our center to share the results of our academic research with the rest of the world.
  2. The “Chinese Cultural Metaverse Ecosystem Platform” will be open to the public free of charge as an integrated platform for digital curation courses in humanities, social sciences, and digital content related disciplines in domestic higher education. It can also be used as a practical teaching venue for “exploration and hands-on” teaching in humanities and social sciences related subjects in primary and secondary schools, so as to promote the contribution of our research results to academic research and applied teaching in Taiwan.
  3. Regularly Chinese cultural curation creativity competitions on the “Chinese Cultural Metaverse Ecosystem Platform” will encourage the curation of diverse cultural memory exhibitions and stimulate the public’s cultural creativity.
  4. Our research on the legal characterization and regulation of digital currency and NFT, the protection of personal information and privacy in the metaverse, the problems of restriction of competition and unfair competition on metaverse platforms, speech moderation that balances freedom of expression and social order, the behavioral responsibilities of virtual alters and virtual avatars interacting in the metaverse, as well as international laws that transcend jurisdictions are not only of academic value but can also serve as guidelines for governmental departments in policy formulation.

Nurturing of Early Career Researchers

  1. We employ young scholars with both domestic and international doctoral degrees as postdoctoral fellows to cultivate postdoctoral researchers with excellent academic research capabilities and international competitiveness.
  2. We provide master’s and doctoral research grants to encourage our MA and PhD students to engage in research related to the Center. In addition, our center has established the Digital Humanities Thesis Award to further encourage students to develop expertise beyond the field of humanities and to be able to integrate humanities and technological expertise.
  3. For the award students, research projects and reading groups on topics related to our research will be organized.
  4. We will assist the teachers of our university in introducing the “Chinese Cultural Metaverse Ecosystem Platform” developed by our center into their teaching curriculum. This will become a venue for students to engage in hands-on digital curation projects and promote the development of students’ professional competence in the integration of learning and application.
  5. On the basis of the high-quality content of the digital exhibitions uploaded to the “Chinese Cultural Metaverse Ecosystem Platform” by the “Chinese Historical Memory,” “Chinese Religious Practices,” and “Chinese Mass Culture” research groups, we support the “exploration and hands-on” curricula of domestic high schools in humanities and social sciences education, as well as thematic work for university humanities and general education pedagogy. We will be able to nurture talents with skills in both humanities and technology in all stages of education.
