Place, Alterity, and Narration in a Taiwanese Catholic Village

This book introduces a simple idea: when we tell a story, we tell a story and also the world where this story takes place. Narration creates environments, spaces and, in a certain sense, gives symbolic meanings and values to the identities by which people interact in their daily experiences.

The destructive nature of the current feudalized version of capitalism needs to be talked about more on social media.

"The 1% who rule the world may have turned
the pursuit of money and power into a kind of
pathological game that are ends in themselves, but
for the rest of us, having money, having an income,
being free from debt, has come to mean having the
power to pursue something other than money.

We all want to ensure our loved ones are safe, and
taken care of. We all want to live in healthy and
beautiful communities but beyond that, the things
we wish to pursue are likely to be wildly different.
What if freedom were the ability to make up our
minds about what it was we wished to pursue, with
whom we wished to pursue it, and what sort of
commitments we wish to make to them in the
process?"

.

Regarded by many in Taiwan as a ruthless dictator, Chiang Kai-shek is worshipped at Kaohsiung's 蔣公報恩觀 temple, founded by the local community of residents evacuated to Taiwan by Chiang's troops from Dachen Island. Originally an air-raid shelter, it was used as a mourning hall after CKS's death.

It has taken medical science 200 years to advance humans to the point where people are so healthy and living so long that they can deny that science and medicine is what got us here.
