This interdisciplinary volume of essays by both established and up and coming scholars opens new points of departure for thinking about how Taiwan has been studied and represented in the past, for reflecting on the current state of 'Taiwan Studies', and for thinking about how Taiwan might be re-configured in the future. Covers a broad range of issues, with chapters on nationalism, anthropology, cultural studies, media studies, religion and museum studies.
