院成立於民國44年,歷經50餘年的銳意發展,目前設有國文、英文、歷史、地理、臺文等5個學系、翻譯和臺灣史2個獨立所,以及全球華人寫作中心和國際臺灣學研究中心。除臺史所僅設碩士班,其餘6個系所均設有碩、博士班;目前專兼任教師近250人,學生約2500餘人。

本院早期以培養優秀中學國文、英文、歷史和地理教師為鵠的,臺灣中學語文和史地教育的實踐與成功,本院提供不可磨滅的貢獻。近年來,本院隨師範體系轉型而調整發展方向,除維持中學師資培育的優勢外,也積極朝理論研究和實務操作等面向前進。目前,本院各系所師培生的教師檢定通過率平均在95%以上;非師培生在文化、傳播、文學、應用史學及環境災害、地理資訊系統等領域發展,也已卓然有成。

本院各系所教師的研究能量極為豐富,參與國內外學術活動相當活躍。根據論文數量、引用次數等指標所作的學術力評比,本院居人文領域全國第2名。各系所之間,無論是教師的教學與研究,或學生的生活與學習,都能相輔相成、榮辱與共,彼此渾然一體,足堪「為師、為範」而無愧。

    This article looks into altered views of children and the very idea of childhood in our time by discussing the intersection of the increasingly prominent themes of evil dolls and “bad children” in contemporary Gothic literary and cinematic narratives. To elaborate on this subject, the film The Boy (2016) by William Brent Bell and the short story “The Doll-Master” (2016) by Joyce Carol Oates are closely investigated, but a few other literary works and movies addressing related issues are discussed as well. The portrayal of both children and dolls, as well as the intricate bond between them, as being wicked in these works is disquieting, for this child-doll bond may be seen as mirroring a deepening co-dependence between persons and things, makers and made objects in our time, one which could tend to blur the boundary between the living and the inanimate, the self and the Not-Me. To probe more deeply into the uncanny child-doll relationship in these contemporary Gothic tales, we will look at it from various angles—including ancient ritualistic effigies, puppet theater, figurine artifacts for household display, children’s dolls, the concomitant development of the modern toy industry and youth subcultures, and the “possessed doll” Gothic subgenre. Through this cross-disciplinary investigation of the constantly evolving culture of “human simulacra,” the article will try to show how lifeless objects like toy dolls may become material embodiments of our contrasting, ever-changing attitudes toward the idea of childhood and our rapport with things.
