“Profoundly” and “faceted” can be used, respectively, to refer to the depth and surface of culture. Examining the historical and cultural contexts of our society, it is evident that Tainan, and even Taiwan in general, aside from being shaped by globalization in the 20th century and today’s digital culture, has experienced both the consequences of European economic expansion through trade in the 17th century, and of the political regime transitions in Taiwan. The features of Taiwan’s “profound” historical roots and its “multi-faceted” culture, which reflect the rapid progress of digital media, are intertwined and interrelated in our daily lives. In Tainan in particular, the constantly changing and interchanging cultural phenomena have become even more intensely contradistinctive and contradictory.
