Reading Culture: Textual Practices in Singapore

By Anneliese Kramer-Dahl

As a broadly compatible, socially motivated analysis, this book understands and illustrates reading as a dynamic, critical activity which investigates texts and textual representations in their social conditions, seeing them in relation to their discursive origins. The specific texts and discursive constructions it submits are based on Singapore, Singapore life and its citizenry. The collection of papers covers a wide range of disciplines, most notably communication and media studies, and provides a timely challenge to the long tradition of critical theory/West equations.
