  • Hybridity in Singaporean Cinema: Othering the Self Through Diaspora and Language Policies in Ilo Ilo and Letters from the South
    FM4204: Time, Space and the Visceral in South East Asian Cinema Hybridity in Singaporean Cinema: Othering the Self through Diaspora and Language Policies in Ilo Ilo and Letters from the South Student Name: Amanda Curdt-Christiansen Matriculation Number: 140008304 Module Tutor: Dr Philippa Lovatt Date: 21/05/18 Word Count: 3849 FM4204 140008304 爸妈不在家/Ilo Ilo is a Singaporean film directed by Anthony Chen and released in 2013. It recounts the unanticipated development of a relationship between a Filipina woman, Teresa, and a Chinese-Singaporean boy, Jiale, whom she is employed to look after. The story unfurls against the backdrop of the Asian financial crisis of 1997, showcasing the struggle of a very young country in maintaining its core values, its independence, and its dignity in the face of economic disaster. 南方来信/Letters from the South is comprised of six short films from Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand and Myanmar, released in 2013. Of these, I will be focusing on Sun Koh’s film, Singapore Panda, which examines tensions between national and cultural identity in the Chinese diaspora in Singapore. This essay will aim to explicate how diasporic communities maintain (or fail to maintain) their cultural identity in Singaporean cinema. Using Ilo Ilo and Singapore Panda as a starting point, I will unpack how divergent cultural backgrounds colour the style of popular Singaporean films, particularly in their treatment of space. I will begin by providing a contextualisation of the films in terms of the Singaporean political climate: language policy, post-colonial policy, and how these contribute to conflict between the nation and the self.

  • Global Cities, Local Knowledge
    Formatting and Change in East Asian Television Industries: Media Globalization and Regional Dynamics Lim, Wei Ling Tania Patricia BSocSc (Hons), MSc (Media & Comms) Creative Industries Research and Applications Centre Queensland University of Technology Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2005 Keywords Circuit of cultural production, East Asian popular culture, Television industries, Field of broadcasting, Formatting, Local knowledge, Media capitals, Neo-networks, Regional dynamics, TV Formats, martial arts dramas, teenage idol soap operas, game-shows. ii Abstract Television is increasingly both global and local. Those television industries discussed in this thesis transact in an extensive neo-network of flows in talents, financing, and the latest forms of popular culture. These cities attempt to become media capitals but their status waxes and wanes, depending on their success in exporting their Asian media productions. What do marital arts dramas, interactive game-shows, children’s animation and teenage idol soap operas from East Asian television industries have in common? Through the systematic use of TV formatting strategies, these television genres have become the focus for indigenous cultural entrepreneurs located in the East Asian cities of Hong Kong, Singapore and Taipei to turn their local TV programmes into tradable culture. This thesis is a re-consideration of the impact of media globalisation on Asian television that re-imagines a new global media order. It suggests that there is a growing shift in perception and trade among once-peripheral television industries that they may be slowly de-centring Hollywood’s dominance by inserting East Asian popular entertainment into familiar formats or cultural spaces through embracing global yet local cultures of production.

  • Aesthetics of the Pathetic: the Portrayal of the Abject in Singaporean Cinema
    ACCESS: CONTEMPORARY ISSUES IN EDUCATION 2012, VOL. 31, NO. 2, 138–147 Aesthetics of the Pathetic: The Portrayal of the abject in Singaporean cinema Chua Beng Huata and Meisen Wongb aNational University of Singapore; bCenter for Metropolitan Studies, Berlin ABSTRACT A central figure in documentaries and commercial films in 1990s Singapore cinema is the abject figure in various guises, ranging from the urban poor to migrant sex workers from the other parts of the region. These abject figures make their living on the street and are thus fully visually exposed to every passing eye and lens. Set against the backdrop of Singapore’s triumphal national economic success story, these figures are aestheticised in visual representation, and stand as immediate disruption, critique and indictment of the long ruling government. Ironically, the same figures could just as easily be represented as ‘heroic’ figures of strength, self-reliance and individualism, qualities that are essential to Singapore’s success. Introduction to the abject The abject—literally one who is low in position, condition or status and even degraded— has enjoyed a particularly enduring status in film: as individuals living in penurious circumstances, immortalised by Charlie Chaplin’s iconic portrayal of the street urchin; as characters whose narratives are reflections or reactions to the Real by Italian neorealist cinema; as compelling alienated anti-heroes who embody non-mainstream values in Martin Scorsese’s Taxi Driver (1976); and, generally, in the characterisation and representation of the grotesque or the kitsch. In all these instances, the portrayal of abjectness is a reaction to impoverished conditions of reality.
