Type: article

Abstract: While Taiwan-centric nativization has been a prominent trend in post-martial law Taiwan literature and film, there has been a notable transformation in literary works and films in the new millennium.This transformation has been characterized by endeavors to explore Taiwan's intricate interactions with the global community, specifically through the lens of people's movement, migration, and displacement.For instance, Zhang Yixuan's time in Paris and Kevin Chen's relocation to Berlin have, respectively, inspired works like Not in Love for Long: Recollections of Nantes and Paris (愛的不久時：南特／巴黎回憶錄, 2011) and The Good People Upstairs (樓上的好人, 2022), which juxtaposes Berlin and Zhanghua.Similarly, the critically acclaimed Kotomi Li adeptly navigates between her writing in Japanese and self-rendered re-writing in Chinese when addressing gender-related themes.In parallel to Taiwanese authors' emigration, writers and directors from diverse ethnic and linguistic backgrounds have immigrated to Taiwan."Mahua" (Malaysian-Chinese) authors in
