Example text
The Siraya, named by the crew Cateos since they often used this word, ‘swarmed’ onto the beach like ‘bothersome flies’ as one account describes, searching for all the scattered cargo ‘with great spirit and determination, without hesitating and without hurting anyone’. 3 Four decades later, in March 1623, the first Dutch arrived in the same bay in search of a suitable harbour in Formosa from where they could begin trading. 4 The literature of early eyewitness accounts of Formosa offers us a few rare glimpses of ‘Aboriginal Taiwan’.
They were determined to see the Dutch way of life, which is portrayed as embedded in the grid of State, capitalism, and Christianity in this study, transformed into an experimental colonial project. However, unlike the spontaneous civilizing process in the West, the ‘civilizing process’ outside the West was engineered by a more or less planned deliberation to ‘civilize’ the colonized in cross-cultural interaction, as we shall see in the Formosan case. 48 Since the ‘civilizing process’ in CROSSCULTURAL ENCOUNTERS 9 Formosa cannot be separated from its colonial context, it is appropriate to distinguish the colonial ‘civilizing process’ from Elias’ conceptualization of the Western ‘civilizing process’ in order to elucidate the particularity of the historical agency of the Formosans within the colonial situation.
Despite his reservations, he still managed to outline the physical traits of the Formosans as follows: The men are strongly limbed, especially those in the valleys and plain country, those living in the mountain regions being rather smaller and less robust. Their women are rather small; having a full face, large eyes, flat noses, and with full breasts and long ears, which they consider a great treasure. . Their complexion is of a swarthy yellow, or between yellow and black; but the natives of Kabelang look more yellow and white.
