Heteroglossic Asia presents an analysis of geographic; historical; cultural; economic; spatial and political factors underlying Taiwanrsquo;s maritime urbanity by means of case studies based on Taipei and Kaohsiung; two cities which represent the multi-accentual character of Taiwanrsquo;s urban environment and its recent changes and development through architecture.Focussing on the concept of a heteroglossic Asia Pacific; exemplified by the analysis of Taiwanrsquo;s urban transformation; the study argues that Taiwanrsquo;s urban environment shows a form of intended "fuzziness" which cannot be described as resting on either a simplified nationalist base or chaotic societal anxiety. Rather; this form lies between binary poles: autocracy and democracy; nation state and day-to-day life; top-down and bottom-up orientations; orthodoxy and hybridisation.

David Greigs plays are among my favorite in the contemporary canonBy Angela PirkoDavid Greigs plays are among my favorite in the contemporary canon; and next to THE STRANGE UNDOING OF PRUDENCIA HART; this one is my favorite. Sweet; sexy; lively; and utterly unique; a pleasure to read and a joy to stage.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. HilariousBy SvenThis was hands down the funniest play Ive ever read and later watched live. I saw it in December; 2011 in London and had a great time. The actors are incredibly good and the dialogue is hysterical.
