The Matsu archipelago between China and Taiwan, for long an
isolated outpost off southeast China, was suddenly transformed into
a military frontline in 1949 by the Cold War and the
Communist-Nationalist conflict. The army occupied the islands,
commencing more than 40 long years of military rule. With the
lifting of martial law in 1992, the people were confronted with the
question of how to move forward. This in-depth ethnography and
social history of the islands focuses on how individual citizens
redefined themselves and reimagined their society. Drawing on
long-term fieldwork, Wei-Ping Lin shows how islanders used both
traditional and new media to cope with the conflicts and trauma of
harsh military rule. She discusses the formation of new social
imaginaries through the appearance of 'imagining subjects',
interrogating their subjectification processes and varied uses of
mediating technologies as they seek to answer existential
questions. This title is Open Access.
