- Abstract
Through the case study of railway heritage preservation campaign in Changhua from 2014 to 2016, this article examines the attributes of railway heritage volunteers as well as the process and purpose of their affective labor, thereby proposing a new approach in anthropology to study cultural heritage phenomena. The ethnography mainly depicts why volunteers were motivated to enter the debris, sweeping and investigating cultural resources there. Also, it focuses on how they weave the interaction between human and “non-human” inside the heterotopic space. The research indicates that heritage volunteers, different from volunteers in modern religious groups and communities, were multiple, heterogeneous, and constantly changing. In addition, they included local citizens, ordinary people, and local elites. The goal and content of their affective labor was adjusted according to different phases of the preservation campaign, which provides new vision for the production of locality under globalization.
