Description

This critical study examines decommissioned postcolonial prisons across Taiwan, South Korea, and China, exploring how these Japanese colonial structures from the early twentieth century have been repurposed as national heritage sites. The book investigates the complex relationship between punishment as an instrument of modernization and contemporary efforts to preserve these institutions as cultural monuments. Through transnational analysis of prisons in Taipei, Chiayi, Seoul, and Lushun, the work reveals how shifting conceptualizations of punishment are reflected in heritage restoration practices. It challenges conventional narratives by demonstrating that the transformation of colonial prisons into museums and memorials involves deliberate reframing of their historical significance, often obscuring their role in systems of control and oppression. Scholars of postcolonial studies, memory studies, and East Asian history will find this examination essential for understanding how nations negotiate difficult historical legacies through architectural preservation and public commemoration.

Part of the Memory Studies: Global Constellations series, positioning the work within transnational scholarly discourse on remembrance.
