Abstract
Placemaking is an assemblage of practices predicated on the shaping and understanding of places. As place continues to evolve over time, placemaking has also fluctuated between moments of reification as bounded territorial practices and phases of de-materialization that challenge parochial fixity. Against the backdrop of post-disaster recovery in Southern Taiwan, this chapter suggests a concept “relocated authenticity” to theorize the ways in which the indigenous communities cope with disaster-driven relocation and engage in placemaking initiatives to resituate themselves along with one another in the shifting, post-disaster landscape.
