Introduction

The Institute of Oceanic Culture was established in 2007 in response to a need for promoting national maritime affairs. The institute is geared to a more comprehensive study of the phenomena and intension in oceanic culture. A balance between unity and diversity is greatly emphasized in the hope that research at the institute will contribute to theories of culture and the implementation of creative and cultural industries. With these concerns in mind, the institute offers courses taught by faculty members from the College of Humanities and Social Sciences and other colleges at the university, and by leading scholars from Academia Sinica. These courses fall into three categories:”History of Oceanic Culture”, “Oceanic Literature” and “Oceanic Social Sciences”. These courses expect to train professionals for cultural research and industry, carving out a distinguishing feature for Oceanic Culture.

The institute courses are mainly to build up research methods for cultural theory and relevant oceanic affairs. These courses fall into three categories:”History of Oceanic Culture”, “Oceanic Literature” and “Oceanic Social Sciences”, intended to give students the benefit of interdisciplinary studies and perspectives essential for those interested in oceanic culture and cultural industries to create their own “maritime” careers.

Compared with relevant courses in other universities, the institute focuses on research for oceanic culture. The institute also focuses on developing local culture, researching marine migrants and cultural exchange, as well as putting forth efforts on oceanic technology, culture, custom and marine migrants. The whole development and research area is a distinguishing feature from other universities.
