🔶摘要

 

儘管中華文化圈的素食傳統深受宗教實踐影響並根深蒂固，過去十年間，無肉飲食的風貌卻經歷了顯著變革。在對食品生產與消費所涉及的氣候、健康及倫理問題日益關注的推動下，新一代的素食者（包含純素者與素食者）在台灣與中國日漸積極地投入以植物性飲食為核心的飲食與生活方式倡議。這一發展體現在純素與動物保護組織的成立、素食市集的興起，以及素食餐廳與植物性食品產品的激增。乍看之下，這些現象似乎反映了純素主義作為全球趨勢的擴展，然而，中國與台灣的素食倡議案例卻提供了獨特的比較視角，揭示了當地在採納生態規範與植物性飲食實踐過程中的獨特面向。

 

本次演講將結合跨學科對可持續性轉型、社會運動及純素研究的討論，探討純素倡導者作為「道德企業家」的角色——這些行動者積極構建新的道德市場，並與不同的生態現代性願景交匯。

📌Going Veg*n: Plant-based food advocacy and sustainability intersections in the Sino-cultural Sphere

 

🔶Abstract

 

While the Sino-cultural sphere has deep-rooted traditions of vegetarianism that are largely tied to religious practices, the past decade has witnessed significant transformations regarding meatless diets. Driven by growing awareness of the climate, health, and ethical issues connected to food production and consumption, a new generation of veg*ns (inclusive of vegans and vegetarians) in both Taiwan and China are increasingly engaged in dietary and lifestyle advocacy centered on plant-

 

based living. A development characterized by the founding of vegan and animal advocacy organizations, the rise of veg*n fairs, and the proliferation of veg*n restaurants and plant-based food products. At first glance, these developments seemingly reflect the global expansion of veganism as a trend. However, the cases of veg*n advocacy in China and Taiwan offer unique comparative insight into the local processes involved in the adoption of ecological norms and plant-based food practices. Drawing from interdisciplinary discussions on sustainability transitions, social movements, and vegan studies, this talk will discuss the role of vegan advocates as moral entrepreneurs, actors who are actively constructing new moral markets that intersect with distinct visions of ecological modernity.

Speaker: Gina Song（PhD Candidate at the Centre for East and South-East Asian Studies, Lund University）

 

Gina Song Lopez is a PhD candidate at the Centre for East and South-East Asian Studies, Lund University, Sweden. Her doctoral project focuses on the rise of the vegan advocacy movements in Taiwan and China. Her interest in this topic draws from the emergence of climate and animal advocacy discourses advanced by a new generation of vegans and vegetarians and the noticeable growth of the plant-based food market. Her project is particularly interested in examining how ‘new’ veganism is understood and promoted locally.

 

She is also a member of the Lund University Critical Animal Studies Network (LUCASN).

 

Moderator: Jeffrey Nicolaisen (Assistant Professor at the Department of Religion and Culture, Hsuan Chuang University)
