A Field Guide to Getting Lost in the Southern Universe: Keelung Diaries 南洋放送局Nanyang Radio Podcast

A Field Guide to Getting Lost in the Southern Universe project is supported by Taiwan Contemporary Culture Lab.  The third episode of A Field Guide to Getting Lost in the Southern Universe is scripted and recorded based on Keelung Diaries written by the collaborative researcher of the project, Liew Zhou Hau (Malaysia). Adopting a first-person perspective, he visits this harbour city located in the south of the Japanese Empire, and reviews its encounters with human and non-human histories, thus creating a travelogue informed by a planetary vision (and the sonic narrative extended from the writing). Combining archive, image, and text, he explores travel beyond the human, in order to generate environmental connections beyond resource extraction. Liew Zhou Hau is now an assistant professor at the International PhD Program in Taiwan and Transcultural Studies, National Chung Hsing University.
