Frontiers of Memory in the Asia-Pacific explores the making and consumption of conflict-related heritage throughout the Asia-Pacific region. Contributing to a growing literature on ‘difficult heritage’, this collection advances our understanding of how places of pain, shame, oppression, and trauma have been appropriated and refashioned as ‘heritage’ in a number of societies in contemporary East and Southeast Asia and Oceania. The authors analyse how the repackaging of difficult pasts as heritage can serve either to reinforce borders, transcend them, or even achieve both simultaneously, depending on the political agendas that inform the heritage-making process. They also examine the ways in which these processes respond to colonialism, decolonization, and nationalism. The volume shows how efforts to preserve various sites of ‘difficult heritage’ can involve the construction of new borders in the mind between what is commemorated and what is often deliberately obscured or forgotten.

Initially based on a comparative study of Chinese and Euro-American art theory in the 18th and 19th centuries, this book examines how both cultures looked at their own past and their outside, i.e. what was construed as not belonging to their own cultural sphere, and how they devised new ways of adapting them into evolving cultural constructs.While the 17th century was still a time when the epistemological backgrounds of both civilizations were so profoundly different that nearly no dialogue was possible, the 18th century saw the emergence in both places of profound changes that would get them close enough to create the conditions for the beginning of a conversation. First quite superficial and taking shape mostly in the decorative arts, this process of rapprochement, while remaining chaotic and unpredictable, led to wider and more profound zones of contact throughout the late 19th and 20th centuries. Through the reinterpretations of each other’s cultural creations, these zones of conta

Reverse paintings on glass occupy a special place in Chinese art, spanning the genres of glass working, export art, folk art, erotica, and meiren hua (paintings of beauties). Their unique appearance is the result of a challenging production process in which artists layer pigments in the reverse order of the normal painting procedure–highlights first, then mid-layers, and finally base colours. The final product is viewed in reverse from the opposite side of the glass, which must also be considered when creating the paintings. A product of the encounter between East and West, the manufacture of glass paintings in China was stimulated by European glass paintings brought to the imperial court by traders and diplomats in the seventeenth century. Initially made in Canton for Western consumers, by the eighteenth century their production had spread throughout China, with subjects and styles adapted to suit local tastes. The glass paintings in the Mei Lin Collection represent this later floweri

在這種強調社會整體發展的社會生活範疇之中，面臨各種的決策是無法避免的重要問題。像選擇學校、選擇就職的企業，甚至選擇結婚的對象、決定住宅地點等等。小至選擇電視節目或餐廳的菜色以及選擇服裝等，大至廠址選擇或國外設廠地址的選定甚或核能電廠的評估等。在所有的此種決策中，我們大多是根據設定的目標（Goal）從許多的替代案（Alternatives）之中，依據幾個評價基準（Criteria），來選擇一個或數個可行的替代案。按照如此來想時，人的生活可以說是選擇行為的累積，也是決策的集合。而且，它可以說是在複雜或模糊不清的狀況下依據人的主觀判斷來作決策（Decision-making）。像這樣，決策理論成已為21世紀解決重要課題的關鍵語。在這種時候，以新的決策手法呈現眼前的是美國匹茲堡大學的T.L. Saaty教授所開發的AHP（Analytic Hierarchy Process）與ANP（Analytic Network Process）。AHP&ANP的新穎之處在於只要是人，除了能理性分析之外，任何人所具有的經歷與直覺此種「感覺資訊（feeling information）」在決策過程中仍是重要的要素。所以，在以往的決策手法中對於無法模式化或難以定量化的主題，如使用AHP&ANP即可應付解決。本書提供有AHP&ANP及其他相關決策方法，如FAHP、TOPSIS、DEMENTAL、ISM等，書中也提供分析案例供讀者參考。
