Abstract
Transnationality and Nationalism: Shared and Contested Memories of Wu Lien-Teh across East and Southeast Asia in Post-SARS Era
Highlights
Much has been written about Wu Lien-Teh—Penang born, Cambridge University-trained medical doctor—who became a world-renown plaque fighter after successfully combating a pneumonic plaque outbreak, which killed over 60,000 persons in Manchuria, China, in 1910–1911 (Flohr 1996; Gamsa 2006; Ho 2000; Knab 2011; Lee et al 2014; Lei 2010; Luesink 2009; Wang 2007; Wong 2007; Wu 1995)
The findings show that the reconstruction of Wu's pasts in the region has been shaped by varying subjective concerns of different historical actors, politics and social conditions in the region, and the transnationality, locality and materiality of Wu's legacies
Guided by Halbwachs' conceptual framework, this article has illustrated the place of transnationality, artefacts, locality and cultural politics in understanding the politics of memory regarding Wu Lien-Teh
