A collection of works by Asian scholars looking at different ways
in which relatively recent traumas have been memorialized in their
various countries, often while the traumas themselves are ongoing,
or the memories of them contested. Memory studies typically focuses
on the study of memorialization after traumatic incidents are
overcome, in Asia, however, the past and the present remain closely
intertwined. Between the legacies of the Japanese Empire, the
respective suppressions by the Kuomintang and the People's Republic
of China, and the ongoing protests in much of Southeast Asia
against oppressive governments and laws, memorialization is
occurring while the histories are still being contested. The
contributors to this book are Asian scholars examining the
memorializing of events in the countries of Asia, including China,
Taiwan, Japan, Korea, Thailand and the Philippines, using local
language sources. They look at a broad range of media of
memorialization, encompassing statues, cemeteries, testimonial
literature, and film among others. An insightful resource for
scholars of memory and cultural studies, as well as those of
twentieth and twenty-first century Asian history.
