This book provides a bidirectional investigation of Asia's spatiotemporality by asking how Asia is located and how localities are Asianized. The author examines "display-ness" as a theoretical common divisor and argues that Asia's architectural and urban spectacle is as meaningful and significant as an indicator of Asia's postcolonial condition.
