ABSTRACT

This study is about Taiwan's 'spatial turn'. Overall, the study focuses on three directions. First, it is revealed that there was a government-level plan for urban space in Taiwan's movement to replace the island's name 'Taiwan' with 'Republic of China'. In particular, art and culture movements such as the ‘1st Taipei Biennale’, which took place during the reign of Denghui Lee in 1996, were an opportunity to experiment with how to educate the people who live and live in empty spaces. Afterwards, the Taiwanese government will carry out full-fledged 'cultural and creative industries' with the 'Culture Establishment Committee' at the center. Second, the temporality of space, in particular, the issue of how to rearrange the historicity, personal memories, and experiences of urban spaces currently occupied by Taiwan through the Japanese colonial period and the Republic of China period is examined in a different way. Here, each space in Taiwan examines the way space was divided during the Japanese colonial period and the movements to reorganize the traces into a completely new sense, not simply nostalgia. Third, the direction of the Taiwanese government, which tried to politically operate the economic concept of 'cultural and creative industries', is illuminated. It is clearly located in 'industry', but it is quite on the line of modernist enlightenment thinking to reorganize consciousness and identity. At the same time, the 'cultural industries' derived from it are also presenting a new industrial framework for Taiwan's future.
