那你覺得"鄉土文學"可以被歸納為一種”身份認同文學運動“嗎？因為我大概記得是這麼學過，就是這個運動，是一種尋找台灣的身分的一次文學運動

@Starckman, “ 鄉土文學"可以被歸納為一種”身份認同文學運動” **no** 鄉土文學 existed since 1930s (there’re books like 日據時期臺灣鄉土文學的當代紀事, 文學的流離與回歸：三○年代鄉土文學論戰) and the emerging of “台灣意識” / “臺灣主體性” was in 1990s  https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/臺灣主體性

<p>For &quot;identity&quot; or &quot;(regional/national) identity&quot;, I found many phrases:</p>
<p>_身份认同</p>
<p>_区域身份</p>
<p>_区域认同感</p>
<p>_地区认同</p>
<p>_拉丁美洲身份</p>
<p>(There are also translations like 区域特征, but the sense here doesn't encompass the idea of &quot;feeling to belong to...&quot;).</p>
<p><strong>Question:</strong></p>
<p>To be specific, how would we translate the expression &quot;taiwanese identity&quot; that is common in Western outlets?

<p>I wonder whether the Taiwanese literary movement 乡土文学 (commonly translated as &quot;nativist literature&quot; or &quot;regional literature&quot;) could be translated as &quot;identity literary movement&quot;.</p>

How to say "(regional/national) identity" in Chinese?
# How to say "(regional/national) identity" in Chinese?

(Asked by: username_0 on 2024-02-24)

For "identity" or "(regional/national) identity", I found many phrases:

\_身份认同

\_区域身份

\_区域认同感

\_地区认同

\_拉丁美洲身份

(There are also translations like 区域特征, but the sense here doesn't encompass the idea of "feeling to belong to...").

**Question:**

To be specific, how would we translate the expression "taiwanese identity" that is common in Western outlets?
<https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=taiwanese+identity>

I wonder whether the Taiwanese literary movement 乡土文学 (commonly translated as "nativist literature" or "regional literature") could be translated as "identity literary movement".

“identity”, would be translated as “**身份認同**”, or “**身分認同**” in most circumstances

the other four options were, . . . unimaginable

**台人身分認同**

about “鄉土文學”, i disagreed that it’s “台灣身份認同文學運動”

if one need an english term, maybe “taiwanese literature”

my reading experiences of literatures of hong kong, taiwan & china is, they’ve separate, unique themes since 1950s

for taiwan, [“眷村”](https://tcmb.culture.tw/zh-tw/subject/295) is a common topic, not appeared in other two places

for china, great leap forward, cultural revolution, being a party member or not, these’re common themes

for hong kong, how to be rich, love & good food are more common

as usual, further discussion would need to clarify the definition of “鄉土文學”

btw, an “incident” [千島湖事件](https://zh.wikipedia.org/zh-hant/%E5%8D%83%E5%B2%9B%E6%B9%96%E4%BA%8B%E4%BB%B6) in 1994, there’s significance change in the identification
