Nation is an imagined collectivity, but the establishment of a state apparatus does not automatically resonate with publics. Nationbuilding is the extra effort required to lead people to imagine they are members of a specific nation. This dissertation argues that nationbuilding should be regarded as an ongoing social process of leading people to remember their national identity through mnemonic engineering. As an intentional effort, mnemonic engineering strategically employs mnemonic techniques not only to lead its audience to commemorate a standardized shared past, present, and future, but also to refresh people's collective memory on a regular basis. The invention of a Chinese nationality by the Kuomintang (KMT) government serves as the case to unravel the process of nation-remembering and the characteristics of mnemonic engineering. Occupying only a tiny portion of the physical territory, via synecdoche, the KMT government negated the legitimacy of People's Republic of China governance and maintained itself as the legitimate government of the Chinese nation and the authentic descendant of "The 5,000-Year Chinese History." In addition to detailing the mnemonic techniques involved in the invention of a Chinese nationality and the formation of mnemonic sediments, how the KMT government continuously modified its mnemonic engineering to counter challenges from its mnemonic rivals, the legacy of the official Chinese nationalism appearing in the following waves of nationbuilding in Taiwan, and the distinction between mnemonic revolution and mnemonic reform are also discussed. Furthermore, this dissertation suggests that its findings on mnemonic engineering can be applied to apprehend identity-remembering processes and how people conduct their boundary work mnemonically in various social fields.
