The present study systematically reviewed the transformation of Taiwan secondary school students’ dress codes during the Japanese colonial period through the description of text, interpretation of interaction, and explanation of context of relevant regulations in that period. This review was based on three points of view, including the power of discipline, body generation in society, and the function of the dress. Specifically, the developments of the transformation of Taiwan secondary school students’ dress codes were separated into three periods, including Japanese colonial period (1895-1945), period of Martial Law (1945-1987), and after the lifting of Martial Law (1987 - present).
It is found that multiple factors interacted with each other to facilitate the transformations of dress codes of Taiwan secondary school students. They are (1) imagination of students’ bodies, (2) adaptations of students’ bodies, and (3) evolutions of technologies of power. Meanwhile, we also found that the dress codes of Taiwan secondary school students imply three characteristics of Taiwan society which are not affected by time, including (1) anxiety led by imaging the anomie of students’ bodies, (2) attitudes of paternalism, and (3) discreteness between truth and description in Chines culture.
In conclusion, the study reviewed the transitions of the regulations of Taiwan secondary school students’ dress codes. It is found that the Office of Taiwan Governor-General in Japanese colonial period devoted to gradually construct the Taiwanese students’ body into the imaginations of subject in Japanese empire through all the regulations relevant to the dress codes of students’ bodies. It was more about nationalization and legalization. On the contrary, the focus of the period of Martial Law was militarization and standardization to make all students’ bodies into the soldiers to restore the country. Finally, the government, after the lifting of Martial Law, intended to release the students from the regulations of dress codes. Upon such action, the students are expected to enhance their capabilities of ruling the bodies of themselves to improve their civic literacy and then make them into the citizens of a democratic society.
