musealising history and architecture

pp. 199-240

This chapter synthesises the subtle reciprocal relationship between space and time that plays a key role in contemporary Asia's architectural gesture to the world. By turning the gaze on globalism and the interventions of neoimperialism in Asia's decolonisation, representational phenomena of architecture and their potential theorisations are argued to be the medium that speaks to a unique and referential Asian experience in terms of current scholarship of globalisation. Along with comparative case studies of Taiwan, Malaysia, Singapore, Australia and the United Kingdom, the chapter schematises a sociological framing that integrates theoretical notions from architecture and museology and from postcolonial studies, political science, mass culture, philology, phenomenology and the philosophy of history.
