Popis: This article examines the Shinto shrines built in Taiwan during the Japanese colonisation (1895–1945) and their subsequent reappropriations in multiple forms, from the grandest, which were turned into martyrs’ shrines for the Chinese Republican (Kuomintang or KMT) cause aftertheir retreat to Taiwan in 1949 to others that became different sacred spaces, as well as those that had been left derelict. Through historical and ethnographic analysis of selected case studies, namely the National Revolutionary Martyrs’ Shrine in Taipei, the Taoyuan Martyrs’ Shrine, and the Jiadong Shrine, this article departs from viewing the shrines as mere constructs of the authorities by investigating how contemporary users intervene and improvise in these formerly oppressive spaces. Using the concepts of Edward Soja and Henri Lefebvre as interpretive tools in conjunction with non-binary perspectives drawn from Taoistphilosophical ideas, the article theorises the multi-lectic relationship between history, space, society, and wider agencies by illuminating how the postcolonials have gradually reclaimed the right to interpret the code of the shrines by recognising a mixture of authoritarianism,arbitrariness, and sacredness. Beyond the binary perceptions of the shrines as either ‘eyesores’ or ‘heritage’, the colonial architecture in the postcolonial context manifests itself as a fulcrum where power and subjectivity shift between authorities and civilians. The transformationprocess of these shrines demonstrates that decolonisation is continuous, shared, and bottom-up rather than momentary, controlled, and top-down.
