Abstract
- This essay examines the contested dynamics of postcolonial remembering in Taiwan. Focusing on the long-suppressed 228 massacre in particular and the White Terror period in general, we bring Taiwan's postcolonial remembering into international and intercultural communication studies by analyzing two contemporary sites: Taipei's 228 Memorial Museum and the Cihu Memorial Sculpture Park. As our case studies demonstrate, Taiwan's postcolonial remembering offers unique indications of how public memory work can help move a culture toward a sense of reconciliation, thus promoting what one of our collaborators called "the end of fear."
