This inter-disciplinary volume of essays opens new points of
departure for thinking about how Taiwan has been studied and
represented in the past, for reflecting on the current state of
'Taiwan Studies', and for thinking about how Taiwan might be
re-configured in the future. As the study of Taiwan shifts from
being a provincial back-water of sinology to an area in its own
(albeit not sovereign) right, a combination of established and up
and coming scholars working in the field of East Asian studies
offer a re-reading and re-writing of culture in Taiwan. They show
that sustained critical analysis of contemporary Taiwan using
issues such as trauma, memory, history, tradition, modernity,
post-modernity provides a useful point of departure for thinking
through similar problematics and issues elsewhere in the world.
Re-writing Culture in Taiwan is a multidisciplinary book with its
own distinctive collective voice which will appeal to anyone
interested in Taiwan. With chapters on nationalism, anthropology,
cultural studies, media studies, religion and museum studies, the
breadth of ground covered is truly comprehensive.
