While in some cases modernity may place traditional forms of
expression at a disadvantage, in others, the modern is embraced as
a welcome source of new ideas that can be incorporated into
tradition in order to change it, while remaining within its own
parameters. This is actually likely to help a tradition survive.
Maintaining a strong and distinct cultural identity with the help
of modernity helps representatives of that identity cope with the
modern world more generally. Assimilation to a dominant culture
marked as modern, by contrast, is clearly associated with not only
the loss of a distinct identity, but also its specific forms of
cultural expression. This book explores the interface between
modernity and tradition in selected societies in Taiwan, mainland
China and Vietnam. The chapters question to what extent traditions
are themselves exploiting modernity in creative ways, in the
interests of their own further developments.
