中文摘要

2012 年2 月，台裔美籍「哈佛小子」林書豪（Jeremy
Lin）在籃球「殿堂」NBA 戲劇性出場，隨之形成一股「林來

隱藏著一份難以言明的集體國族焦慮。本文所欲論述的是，台
灣社會中現代運動／體育與國族主義、國族認同的關連如何被
建構？意義為何？「林來瘋」如何承載國族認同的期待？彰顯
出什麼國族、運動／體育意涵？透過2012 年2 月5 日至3 月
31 日《蘋果日報》、《自由時報》及《聯合報》相關文本分

於多重殖民歷史構造與「遲到的現代性」，台灣現代運動／體

英文摘要

On February 2012, Taiwanese-American Jeremy Lin’s dramatic performance in the National Basketball Association ignited “Linsanity” across the United States and Taiwan. Delight and pride were felt among the Taiwanese. However, there was a hidden and ineffable collective national anxiety behind the phenomenon. We discuss the relationship between sports and nationalism in Taiwanese society, especially regarding how Linsanity became a vehicle for Taiwanese nationalism and its multiple implications. By adopting critical discourse analyses for reviewing stories in Taiwanese newspapers, including those from Apple Daily, The United Daily News, and The China Times published from February 5, 2012 to March 31, 2012, we discovered that, because of the country’s belated modernity and its colonial past, a Taiwanese sportsman, Jeremy Lin, became a “national hero” without “beating any foreign enemy,” and he “became one of them,” which is different from the situation in most Western societies. Moreover, “Is Jeremy Lin Taiwanese?” was the central topic of Linsanity in the discourses of the Taiwanese media, which triggered Taiwan’s diverse perspectives on identity, and the interpretation and practice of nationalism through sports / physical education.
