Trans-boundary methodologies
cultural appropriation and heteroglossia
pp. 71-100
This chapter provides an alternative methodological theorisation that addresses the multiaccentual character of Asia, when compared to the binary analytical model that still largely dominates current epistemology. By starting with a critical review of some key schools of critical theory, it considers their substantial influence in Asia. Epitomised by empirical analyses of architecture and urbanism in Taiwan, Singapore, Japan, China and Malaysia, notions and theoretical analogies related to cultural appropriation are also examined in an in-depth discussion in terms of the semiotics of Asian cultures.
