  • Consuming Femininity: Nation-Nation -S--State,Sstate, Gender and Singaporean Chinese Women
    Consuming Femininity: NationNation----sssstate,tate, Gender and Singaporean Chinese Women by Wendy Poh Yoke Chew A Thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy undertaken at the University of Western Australia 2007 Declaration I declare that this thesis is entirely my own work and that it has not been submitted for a degree or award at this or any other university. To my knowledge it does not contain material previously published or written by another person where due reference has not been made in the text. Wendy Chew Submitted 31 August 2006 2 Abstract My research seeks to understand ways in which English-educated Chinese women in cosmopolitan Singapore bolstered their identity while living under the influences of Confucian values, patriarchal nation-building and racial concerns. My thesis examines women who have themselves been lost in translation when they were co-opted into the creation of a viable state after 1965. Often women are treated as adjuncts in the patriarchal state, particularly since issues of gender are not treated with the equality they deserve in the neo-Confucian discourse. This thesis takes an unconventional approach to how women have been viewed by utilizing primary sources including Her World and Female magazines from the 1960s and 1990s, and subsequent material from the blogosphere. I analyze images of women in these magazines to gain an understanding of how notions of gender and communitarianism/race intersect. By looking at government-sponsored advertising, my work also investigates the kind of messages the state was sending out to these women readers.
