Bodies and Structures 2.0: Deep-Mapping Modern East Asian History

The Sacred Geographies Thruway

I have created this pathway to provide a synopsis of the primary historical and spatial arguments of this module, as outlined on the home page. This express route traces the linked processes of de/reterritorialization and ethnic construction by making stops at two main institutions (the Taiwanese Qing'an Temple and the Japanese Jilong Shrine), passing through the festivals associated with these institutions, and arriving at the creation and defense of Taiwanese ethnic identity before and after the end of Japanese colonization in 1945. The pages in this pathway are drawn from throughout the module, and readers who wish to follow it should press the "back" button in their browser after reading each page to return to this page and move on to the next step.
