Contents:
Frontmatter -- Contents -- Preface -- Contributors -- Introduction -- Part One: Local desire and global anxieties -- 1. Desperately guarding borders: media globalization, “cultural imperialism”, and the rise of “Asia” -- 2. Modernity and Mahathir’s rage: theorizing state discourse of mass media in Southeast Asia -- 3. Representing state desire and the sins of transgression -- 4. McNationalism in Singapore -- Part Two: Identity, the state, and post-modernity -- 5. National identity, diasporic anxiety, and music video culture in Vietnam -- 6. The post-modernization of Thainess -- Part Three: State power, development, and the spectre of nation-building -- 7. Cultural claims on the new world order: Malaysia as a voice for the Third World? -- 8. (De)constructing the New Order: capitalism and the cultural contours of the patrimonial state in Indonesia -- 9. The state and information in modern Southeast Asian history -- Part Four: Representational strategies and politics of the popular -- 10. Representing the Singapore modern: Dick Lee, pop music, and the “New” Asia -- 11. Pictures at an exhibition: re-presenting the sugar industry at the Negros Museum, Philippines -- 12. Stars in the shadows: celebrity, media, and the state in Vietnam -- 13. On the expressway, and under it: representations of the middle class, the poor, and democracy in Thailand -- Index
Summary: Drawing on critical theory and post-modernism, this book argues for a new strategy for writing about the social and cultural experiences of living in modern Southeast Asian states. Contributors -- many of whom work in universities in the region -- question the processes of cultural transformation under conditions of globalization and rapid economic and political change. By paying attention to the specificity of what is taking place in the particular state, the book questions the conventional narratives of developmentalism and state-sponsored national peace as they are understood in Southeast Asia, and shows how such understanding can be made and unmade.
