Summary/Abstract |
Matsuura Hisaki's novel Hant?[Peninsula] contains a highly saturated critical and poetic space, allowing us to probe the boundaries of Japan's periphery and the limits of the experience of interiority. An analysis of the structure and the narrative devices of the novel leads to the creation of a spatial model conceptualizing the idea of 'peninsula' as an existential and literary trope. The 'peninsula' is also a reversible notion combining the narrative of a private experience of seclusion with critical commitment for reconsidering modern Japan's cartography.
* 1Earlier versions of this essay were presented at the graduate seminar of Prof. Kawamura Minato (H?sei University, 12 June 2008) and the Cultural Typhoon (Sendai, 28 June 2008). I am grateful to Prof. Kawamura for his valuable suggestions, to Prof. Matsuura Hisaki for an interesting discussion (June 2008) and to the anonymous readers of Japanese Studies for constructive feedback.

Summary/Abstract |
The Taiwan Strait poses a risk of war at any time due to a combination of
international political factors such as China’s national strength, willingness to
unify, Taiwan’s independence, and the U.S.–China leadership competition. In
this situation, this paper analyzed the scenario of China’s invasion of Taiwan, and
considered the comparison of military power on both sides and the direction of
Taiwan’s military power construction. In conclusion, the war in the Taiwan Strait is
likely to trigger geopolitical conflicts between the United States and North Korea on
the Korean Peninsula, and the ROK will have to respond to diplomatic and security
challenges simultaneously. Therefore, we must face up to the fact that tensions and
crises between the two sides in the Taiwan Strait are directly linked to the security
crisis on the Korean Peninsula. It is necessary to closely monitor the conflict
between the two sides and preemptively prepare diplomatic and security response
strategies for each situation.
