The 15th Annual North American Taiwan Studies Conference
Locating Taiwan: Space, Culture and Society
In the past two decades, Taiwan has experienced major transformations in the remapping of space. This year's conference was defined under the rubric of "Locating Taiwan: Space, Culture and Society." While our attention was focused on Taiwan's physical localities, we also encouraged scholars to explore the evolving definition of space. In particular, global capital flows interface and destabilize familiar territorial demarcations and as a consequence, "interstitial spaces" emerge to accommodate new social groupings, the bloggers and Otaku.
