Women And The Politics Of Representation In Southeast Asia: Engendering Discourse In Singapore And Malaysia (Routledge Research On Gender In Asia Series)

Singapore and Malaysia are rapidly modernising, globalising Asian states which, although being distinct nations since 1965, share common elements in the on-going struggle over the meaning of gender and sexuality in their societies. This book explores a range of discourses around gender in these two countries, giving an overview of how gender and representation come together in various configurations in the history and contemporary culture of both nations. It examines the discursive construction of gender, sexuality and representation in a variety of areas, including the politics of everyday life, education, popular culture, literature, film, theatre and photography.
