SUMMARY:Gender\, Gambling\, and the State in the Militarized Islands betwee
 n China and Taiwan
DESCRIPTION:\n	Lin Wei-ping (Professor\, Department of Anthropology\, Nati
 onal Taiwan University)\n\n	Chair/Discussant: Michael Szonyi (Professor of
  Chinese History\, Department of East Asian Languages and Civilizations\, 
 Harvard University)\n\n	 \n\n\n	When Chiang Kai-shek retreated to Taiwan 
 in 1949\, he still kept under occupation two archipelagos near China -- Ki
 nmen and Matsu -- and transformed them into military islands (1949-92). Wh
 en scholars study these islands\, they mostly do so from the perspective o
 f the Mao-Chiang conflict or global geopolitics. These islands are thus co
 nsidered as the products of the Communist-Nationalist rivalry or confronta
 tions of the Cold War. This paper\, instead\, aims to analyze this history
  from the perspective of the island society and culture\, in particular\, 
 the islanders' gender relations and gambling habits. I shall start with th
 e period before the army arrived\, discuss the population's experience of 
 militarization during 1949-92\, and indicate how gender and gambling cultu
 re can shed new light on our understanding of this history.
