Identity formation is an ongoing process shaped by multiple social actors and their interactions. Within the context of (re)construction of national identity, this study will focus on a divergent path of identity construction- eliminating historically embedded and tenacious cultural traits to make a new national identity. Given the two distinct cases- the de-Chineselized Taiwanese identity and the de-Islamized Turkish identity, this study aims to explore the reasons and conceptions behind the removal of substantial cultural elements that can best foster national unity and allegiance to the community, together with comparing the methods and ideologies applied by the actors during specific historical epochs. Through a comparative analysis based on a common goal but different experiences and circumstances, the study will also examine differing progress in national identity in two cases. Attempting to identify the reasons behind and to explain the circumstances under which establishing a national identity devoid of primordial culture can increase feasibility—then pointing out that the identity confusion and societal divisions in the two countries due to immense transformation in identity narratives may mutually draw upon each other’s experiences. This exchange of experiences aims to demonstrate the limitations of using cultural elements to reconstruct national identity, as understood through prevalent perspectives and theories in the study of national identity within the context of nationalism.
