“…Several studies have shown that the construction of ethnicity in a Chinese socio-cultural context involves three major principles: patrilineality, locality and language (Chen, Chuang, and Huang 1994: 15-16;Thoraval 1999). Patrilineality means that ethnicity is inherited from the father, regardless of the mother's origin or the person's birthplace.…”

This paper aims to show that Taiwanese born in the 1980s constitute a “post-reform” generation whose perception of cultural difference and ethnicity may challenge the efficiency of the “four major ethnic groups” categorization as an analytical framework for research on Taiwanese youth's identity, political behaviour and social interactions. Using quantitative data from a questionnaire distributed in 15 universities nationwide in 2010 and qualitative data from interviews, this paper first focuses on the attitudes of Taiwanese born in the 1980s toward what are generally considered the three core elements of ethnic group-making in a Chinese socio-cultural context: patrilineality, locality and language. Then it shows that the combined effects of democratization, Taiwanization and contacts with mainland China have decisively impregnated their life experiences and influenced their perceptions of cultural difference. Consequently, the different aspects/ factors that contributed to the formation and the deepening of ethnic boundaries and ethnic conflict up until the 1990s are not effective anymore, nor are they significant for Taiwanese in their twenties. This process is transforming ethnicity rather than erasing it. Thus “having an ethnic identity” is still considered important by a majority, but its meaning and salience have changed, leading to the necessity to redefine, a process that could be undertaken using the concept of “symbolic ethnicity”.

“…La région de Hwanghaedo fut le lieu d'intenses fouilles sur la commanderie de Lelang, importante ville-colonie chinoise fondée dans la péninsule durant la dynastie Han, florissante autour du début de notre ère 23 . Lelang constitue un lieu de controverse indépassable depuis 1945, notamment à cause de sa localisation aux abords de P'yǒng'yang.…”

“…22 Torii rédigea aussi un important rapport sur la Mandchourie septentrionale et la Sibérie orientale en 1922. 23 Fondée en 108 avant notre ère, cette ville, comparable à celles que les Grecs fondaient autour de la Méditerranée, exista jusqu'en 313. 24 Ce point d'histoire antique concernant Koguryǒ, royaume qui englobait la moitié nord de la Corée et le sud de la Mandchourie d'alors (actuellement les trois régions chinoises du Nord-Est), constitue aujourd'hui un sujet de controverse entre la Corée et la République populaire de Chine.…”

“…La terminologie chinoise « classique » distinguait entre « barbares cuits » et « barbares crus » selon le degré d'assimilation à la culture chinoise -les seconds étant les « sauvages ». Voir Thoraval[23] sur la construction identitaire à Taiwan 16. Une remarque similaire peut être faite à propos des travaux en anthropologie religieuse menés par Akiba Takashi (1888-1954) à l'Université impériale de Keijô (Seoul), fondée en 1926, au sein du processus de construction identitaire coréen après 1945[7,24] 17.…”
