Heteroglossic Asia presents an analysis of geographic, historical,
cultural, economic, spatial and political factors underlying
Taiwan's maritime urbanity by means of case studies based on Taipei
and Kaohsiung; two cities which represent the multi-accentual
character of Taiwan's urban environment and its recent changes and
development through architecture. Focussing on the concept of a
heteroglossic Asia Pacific, exemplified by the analysis of Taiwan's
urban transformation, the study argues that Taiwan's urban
environment shows a form of intended "fuzziness" which cannot be
described as resting on either a simplified nationalist base or
chaotic societal anxiety. Rather, this form lies between binary
poles: autocracy and democracy, nation state and day-to-day life,
top-down and bottom-up orientations, orthodoxy and hybridisation.
