The Politics of Heritage Tourism in China
This volume unravels the politics surrounding behind China’s hegemonic project of heritage tourism development in Lijiang. It provides a compelling study of the dialectical relationships between global and domestic capital, the state, tourists and locals as they collude, collaborate and contest one another to ready Lijiang for tourist consumption. Using rich material from insightful interviews and quantitative data, the authors show how complex t…
The Shophouse Hotel
In creative cities, new enterprises emerge all the time catering to the changing needs and lifestyles of visitors and local communities. Reputable institutions, cultural activities, iconic buildings as well as small, local businesses all play a role in `branding' the creative city. This study presents one such small enterprise in the form of historical shophouse hotels in Singapore. These shophouse inns are locally owned, housed in architecturall…

Tourism Politics in Lijiang, China
Heritage as a tourism commodity has raised expectations about the profits that it can potentially bring. Lijiang Ancient Town, since acquiring World Heritage status in 1997, has become increasingly dependent on state support and private enterprise to maximize this potential. The implication of rapid tourism development is the marginalization of indigenous Naxi as their homes became converted into guesthouses, souvenir shops and other facilities f…
Intimations of Postmodernity in Dark Tourism
In this paper, we examine what a few scholars have referred to as postmodernist intimations within contemporary tourism practices, and their potential implications on the way that history is portrayed within ‘dark tourism’ sites. Drawing upon the case of one such site, Fort Siloso, we emphasise two main implications: (1) the privileging, at the site, of the ‘visual’ and ‘experiential’ over the need for historical interpretations, and (2) the dilu…
Ageing in Singapore
Older persons are often portrayed as social and financial burdens because pensions, health and social care have to withstand increasing old age dependency ratios. Due to a lack of access to representation or a lack of social and economic power, older people have found few opportunities to have their voices heard, making age an immensely political issue. Written by an impressive team of authors, this book provides an in-depth analysis of the exper…

Spaces of silence
Alternative family forms have begun to emerge in the Confucian societies of East and Southeast Asia, concomitant with widespread demographic changes and new socioeconomic conditions. In Singapore, the state tends to configure ‘single parents’ – including divorcees, unmarried parents and widowed parents – as ‘unfortunate’ and constituting an unhealthy trend, in opposition to the normal, dual‐parent household. This paper examines how single parents…
Global and local interactions in tourism
Values, change and inter-generational ties between two generations of women in Singapore
Personal values are framed by social contexts and carried through a person's lifecourse, but are sufficiently malleable to adapt to changing conditions. The dynamic character of personal values should be more frequently recognised in studies of inter-generational ties. This study examines the relationships between two generations of Singaporean women and their divergent values about gender roles, preference for the gender of children, family form…
Limits of imagineering
Penang Development Corporation, tasked with placing Penang at the forefront of Malaysia's economic development, has imagineered Penang into a city of vibrance and innovation. Besides manufacturing, tourism is promoted as a mainstay of the economy. Consequently, the themes of culture, heritage, sun and sea, adventure/nature and agro-tourism have been selected and attractions have been appropriated and strategically amplified to fit into the themes…

Interweaving the public and the private
The private and the public are often deemed as a ‘natural’ and universal division which models social life into a domestic sphere for women and a public/work sphere for men. The shift in Singapore's population policy from anti- to pro-natalism is used to explore gendered responses with the aim of deconstructing this dichotomy. The paper provides support for the interpenetration rather than division of spheres, and shows that macro-socioeconomic c…

Older Women and Leisure in Singapore
The leisure of older women is subject to prejudices of both ageism and sexism. Gender roles and identities lock women into leisure which is experienced mostly within the confines of the home. The lack of material resources also limits their ability to undertake a wider range, as well as a greater number, of leisure activities within the public sphere outside the home. These conditions become emphasised in the more mature years of a woman's life, …
Space to Grow Old In
Using a political economy approach, this paper examines the provision of facilities and services for elderly persons in urban Singapore. It posits that policies concerning this group are socially constructed and that ageist notions affect the spatial forms created for meeting the health, housing and social needs of older people. It emphasises the significance of subjectivity in the environmental strategies of older persons and investigates the ex…
From Tiger Balm Gardens to Dragon World
Drawing on recent theorising on how landscapes and their cultural resources are manipulated in the selling of places, this paper focuses on the different strategies used to transform Haw Par Villa, a rich man's pleasure gardens, into Singapore's pioneer cultural theme park. Conceived by Aw Boon Haw, the man known as the "Tiger Balm King" to signify his standing at the helm of an empire of Chinese patented medicinal products, Tiger Balm Gardens wa…

Singapore and the Experience of Place in Old Age
Since the 1970s, humanistic geography has gained adherents among geographers who emphasize the centrality of and their condition (Tuan 1976, 266). Humanistic research has focused on human relationships with place, notably the development, characterization, and outcome of such relationships. Except in relation to homes (Perkins 1988), neighborhoods (Rivlin 1982), or places of worship (Kong 1992), few authors except Graham Rowles (1978, 1980, 1983a…

The National Policy on Elderly People in Singapore
Expanding longevity among elderly people and fertility decline are contributing to the ageing of Singapore's population. By 2030, the proportion of persons aged 60 and above will be 26% of the total population. A national policy on elderly persons was formulated in 1989 which incorporated four issues: employment of elderly persons in the workforce; attitudes toward elderly people; community care; and residential care. This paper discusses each of…
