Heritage at transnational work
Here we are together
Normalisation of evacuation under slow emergencies
Hong Kong, in contrast to its previous image as a glamourous global city, has recently been associated with negative keywords such as oppression, fear, violence and even human rights emergency, following the 2019 Anti‐Extradition Law Movement and later the implementation of National Security Law (NSL) in 2020. Meanwhile, the Hong Kong Special Area Administration presented a post‐NSL policy direction as promising a ‘Beautiful New Hong Kong’. This …

Right to toilets? infra-bio-urbanism over human waste, memories, and housing inequality
This research attends to how urban tenants bring matong (toilets in the form of urine buckets)-which are a material, semiotic, and marketable piece of infrastructure-into the debates over the remaking of a heritage district in Hongkou, Shanghai. Challenges abound for the site, which is occupied by prewar buildings where Jewish refugees found shelter during the war and more than 10 thousand Chinese tenants moved in after the Jews left. Until 2020,…
Frontiers of Memory in the Asia-Pacific
Frontiers of Memory in the Asia-Pacific
Frontiers of Memory in the Asia-Pacific explores the making and consumption of conflict-related heritage throughout the Asia-Pacific region. Contributing to a growing literature on ‘difficult heritage’, this collection advances our understanding of how places of pain, shame, oppression, and trauma have been appropriated and refashioned as ‘heritage’ in a number of societies in contemporary East and Southeast Asia and Oceania. The authors analyze …

Staging indigenous heritage
The past decade witnessed obvious progress and a growing interest in indigenising museology in general and repatriating collections of indigenous properties acquired from indigenous communities in
The ‘commodified’ colonial past in small cities
Amid increasing interest in city branding in East Asia, the municipalities of Gunsan (South Korea) and Chiayi (Taiwan) chose colonial heritage-making as their city branding strategies to recreate their cities’ identities and regenerate their economies. Both cities were mostly built by Japanese imperial authorities and thrived in the 1920s and 1930s but deteriorated in the post-colonial period. Seeking to overcome long economic recessions, these t…
The paradox of cultivating community resiliency
Difficult heritage diplomacy? Re-articulating places of pain and shame as world heritage in northeast Asia
The recently increased interest in transnational, serial nominations for UNESCO World Heritage status and comparable forms of official recognition demonstrates the critical role of heritage as diplomacy. There are both opportunities and challenges, nevertheless, when treating difficult heritage as diplomacy, such as in the case of colonial prisons embedded in memories of punishment and imprisonment across borders. In a study of two defunct prison…
Liminoid space and place-fixing in urban activism
The past 10 years witnessed a resurgence of youth activism in East Asia. While some may consider it as simply reflecting a broader, general trend of young people reacting to the neoliberalizing world, this paper pays special attention to the changing cultural geographies of East Asia that underlie part of the picture. In 2014, the Sunflower movement in Taiwan was triggered by a group of young people who occupied the Legislative Yuan, paralyzed th…
Urban Farming as a Transformative Planning Practice
This article presents an alternative approach to understanding urban farming. Through the lens of feminist theories of regenerative politics, it demonstrates that urban farming can be rearticulated as/for/from within a transformative planning practice. Drawing on planning practices in the less studied terrain of Hong Kong—the New Territories bordering mainland China—this article illustrates how urban farming can be seen as an enabling, cross-scal…
Understanding disaster (in)justice
Existing disaster studies scholarship tends to uncritically privilege official institutional responses to disasters over bottom-up, community-based reactions and adaptations in the longer term. Meanwhile, the state-recognized disasters mostly exclude socioeconomic and environmental contradictions that generate disasters by making people vulnerable in the first place. Discussion of disaster justice, then, is limited to the immediate state response…
Remembering and Representing Imprisonment in Postcolonial Cities
At the Lushun Russo-Japanese Prison (LRJP) Museum, I was drawn to a photo display in which one old Japanese man is regretfully writing down his testimony (Fig. 31.1). The Japanese physician Goga Shyoichi was the medical officer in the prison from May 1944 to July 1945. The narratives at the side frame Shyoichi’s memories through shame and guilt, quoting the physician’s own writing entitled: “Retrospect of the Days in Lushun Prison” (published in …
Ethics of heritage
Research into prison tourism and prison heritage has not taken enough time to understand how historical change has left impacts in urban contexts, which sometimes continues even after the prisons are decommissioned. This paper discusses the punitive state in the context of the historical penal landscape of Taipei through an exploration of how an historical prison was designed, built, partially demolished, preserved and redeveloped under three pol…
