Tubuloside A Mitigates Sepsis-Induced Splenic Injury in Mice by Suppressing NOX4-Associated Oxidative Stress, Inflammation, Apoptosis, and Mitochondrial Dysfunction
Consuming Democracy: Geopolitics, Human Rights, and Tourism in Taiwan
International tourism has been an area where Taiwan has projected its soft power. Tourism involves constructing an identity for the outside world to see, and tourism as ‘placemaking’ requires the deliberate selection of imagery and rhetoric that will represent and synopsise the history, culture, and environment of a location. This article examines democracy and human rights in Taiwan’s tourism landscape and argues that Taiwan’s experience of poli…
Brand communication effects of museums’ Wenchuang —the case of Beijing Palace Museum
In the era of creative economy and development of cultural and creative industries in China, numerous museums have established their cultural and creative brands to enhance visibility, improve financial sustainability, and preserve outstanding culture. The Beijing Palace Museum’s cultural and creative products (Wenchuang, 文创) stand out as a quintessential example, exemplifying a creative approach to balancing business operations and cultural valu…
Trends in women’s education and fertility in Japan and China: A comparative analysis
East Asian countries have undergone significant demographic shifts characterized by declining fertility rates and the expansion of higher education opportunities for women. Adopting a comparative perspective, this study examines cohort-based changes in the relationship between women’s educational attainment and fertility behaviors in China and Japan via discrete-time event history models and difference-in-differences analysis. The results reveal …
Intercultural Experiences and Memories: Shigeko Kubota’s Artistic Journey through Her Video Art Spanning Japan to the American Southwest
Yuka Kanno for her invaluable patience and feedback. I also could not have undertaken this journey without Prof. Megumi Kitahara, who generously provided knowledge and expertise. Additionally, this endeavor would not have been possible without the support from the Graduate School of Global Studies, Doshisha University, and the program “Support for Pioneering Research Initiated by the Next Generation”, who financed my research. I am also grateful …

Leisure travel as process: Understanding the relationship between leisure travel and subjective well-being among older adults
This exploratory paper contributes to a theorization of the relationship between leisure travels and subjective well-being (SWB) among older adults. Although it is generally agreed that leisure travel contributes to one’s mental well-being, the processes that lead to various forms of well-being are often understudied. It is argued that a more nuanced understanding of these processes can lead to better appreciation of the meanings of travel for th…
The not-so-great rapprochement: Taming and consuming Chiang Kai-shek in the era of cross-strait rapprochement tourism
This article seeks to examine the interplay of material culture and identity politics during what we call the Great Rapprochement Era between China and Taiwan. It focuses on how the government and non-state actors dealt with sensitive histories and difficult heritages as manifested in their taming of Chiang Kai-shek for cross-strait tourists’ consumption. The article argues that as much as both governments strove to put ‘economics before politics…
The geopolitical ramifications of Covid-19: The Taiwanese exception
This commentary positions the Taiwanese response to COVID-19 in the larger geopolitical arena. It explores the politicized nature of the global pandemic through Taiwan's relations with the US, China, the World Health Organization, and Southeast Asia, and reflects on the politico-economic environment Taiwan has to navigate post COVID-19. Discussion shows that the emergence of Taiwan as an exceptional entity in the containment of the virus is very …
Pandemic in a smart city: Singapore’s Covid-19 management through technology & society
On 23 January 2020, Singapore announced its first COVID-19 case, becoming one of the first countries to be affected by the virus outside China. The government acted swiftly, closed its borders, introduced circuit-breaking measures, and deployed public health and medical expertise in tackling the virus. Both technology and human resources were used extensively for contact tracing, quarantining, and pathogenic management. While all these measures h…

Southeast Asia's transboundary haze pollution: Unravelling the inconvenient truth
This paper examines the political intricacies inherent in the management of Southeast Asia's transboundary haze pollution. It argues for a scalar perspective in understanding the complexities of the haze problem. The so‐called ‘inconvenient truth’ is unravelled by teasing out some issues in the national and regional political ecologies, and the challenges of synchronising co‐operation at the national, regional and global scales. Discussion shows …

Research ethics and ethical research: Some observations from the Global South
This paper aims to achieve two objectives. Firstly, it elicits some of the concerns for universal research ethics. It is argued that ethical codes are never universal; they are geographically sensitive. As such, it is important to “develop authentic individual responses to potentially unique circumstances” . Secondly, in going beyond a universal notion of ethics, it is observed that there is a dearth of analysis on post-research ethics. Majority …
Making material memories: Kinmen's bridging objects and fractured places between China and Taiwan
The post-war material culture of Kinmen, a former military outpost in Taiwan, reveals a biography moving from conflict to hope for rapprochement, from matériel to militaria to souvenir. By experimenting with the concept of sensuous materialism, this article looks at touristic things from and of the battlefield past and explores how, through their materialities, things interact with people's senses and shape their understandings of cross-strait re…

Of Kaoliang, Bullets and Knives: Local Entrepreneurs and the Battlefield Tourism Enterprise in Kinmen (Quemoy), Taiwan
This paper explores the role of local entrepreneurs in the branding of Kinmen (Quemoy) Island, Taiwan as a battlefield tourism destination. Kinmen's identity as a former battlefield presents both challenges and opportunities in positioning and branding it as a tourist destination. It is argued that a tourist destination is not a static entity, but is 'fluid and created through performance'. Therefore, the Kinmen Brand is a result of both top-down…
Distributed cognition, representation, and affordance
This article describes a representation-based framework of distributed cognition. This framework considers distributed cognition as a cognitive system whose structures and processes are distributed between internal and external representations, across a group of individuals, and across space and time. The major issue for distributed research, under this framework, are the distribution, transformation, and propagation of information across the com…
