This book explores South Korean responses to the architecture of
the Japanese colonial occupation of Korea and the ways that
architecture illustrates the relationship between difficult
heritage and the formation of national identity. Detailing the
specific case of Seoul, Hyun Kyung Lee investigates how buildings
are selectively destroyed, preserved, or reconstructed in order to
either establish or challenge the cultural identity of places as
new political orders are developed. In addition, she illuminates
the Korean traditional concept of feng shui as a core indigenous
framework for understanding the relationship between space and
power, as it is associated with nation-building processes and
heritagization. By providing a detailed study of a case little
known outside of East Asia, 'Difficult Heritage' in Nation Building
will expand the framework of Western-centered heritage research by
introducing novel Asian perspectives.
