Regeneration of Historic Sites (RHS) is accompanied with big budget and ambition topping any other cultural preservation policy of Taiwan in recent years. RHS tries to bind the governance of cultural asset with the spatial governance of both urban and rural areas. It intends to address the contemporary life and to build connections between the land and people’s historical memories. This article explores the origin and situation of this policy initiative from the perspective of critical cultural governance, which boils down to ''the re-articulation of culture and space'', and discusses the difficulties its implementation encounters. The authors examined official projects and archives, and interviewed people from the industry, the government and the academia, and obtained the following findings. First, the RHS has three origins, including the existing cultural asset policy, the white paper on the presidential election, and the advocacy of specific individuals. Secondly, the existing governance mechanisms cannot afford the huge budgets and policy ambitions of RHS, thus strengthening the trends of multiple supervision and project management; meanwhile, the goals of cross-hierarchy and cross-disciplinary governance of RHS actually have to rely on the heads of the local governments. Thirdly, the different logics of the industry, the government and the academia constitute a governance field with inherent tensions. And the place that embodies culture and space also disintegrates with the urban and rural development, but the separation between regimes of cultural governance and spatial governance makes it difficult to cope with those developments. Finally, the authors argue that governance should be politicized under conditions of civic participation and the remaking of urban and rural meanings, and that we should move toward the infrastructuring of culture. |
