The lecture will take Donpu Tribe (Bunon people) for example, elaborating development of spatial phenomena in different period, going through pre-capitalism, capitalism in the governance of Japanese colonialism, KMT dictatorship, and neoliberalism in contemporary.

The concept of space in Donpu tribe and Bunon culture is centered by individual home in the pre-capitalism era, but being toward to objectification and commercialization when it comes to national capitalism. And the concept of space is more close to individualization in contemporary Bunon society.
