title = {The Postcolonial Condition of Architecture in Asia},
year = {2022},
note = {This book provides a bidirectional investigation of Asia’s
spatiotemporality by asking how Asia is located and how localities are
Asianized. Historical and theoretical inquiries into architecture and
urbanism in order to trace a notional “common divisor” are
integrated with readings of this Asian imagery. Such a common divisor
is conditioned to Asia’s phenomenal postcolonial subjectivation and
showcases Asia’s unique character. This book contends that the
postcolonial condition of architecture in Asia suggests a potential
and critical bridge to better understanding of the region.
Theoretically, “display-ness” is a strategic and allegoric carrier
that is in the focus of this book in order to emphasize the quality of
display in a broader sense of time and space. Asia’s architectural
and urban spectacle thus is meaningly magnified and intensified with
this notion of display-ness to ground the cohesive abstraction among
ideological discourse production, innovative theorizations, and
empirical phenomena in contemporary scholarship.},
