Singapore
This article develops the concept of the digitally intimate everyday to examine how young women in Singapore negotiate intimacy, subjectivity, and gendered life transitions within a highly digitised, policy-driven society. Drawing on in-depth ethnographic interviews with thirty women aged 18–24, the study situates everyday digital practices within Singapore’s postcolonial digital ecosystem and heteronormative life scripts organised around employm…
Transnational mothering and the complexities of childhood among migrant Filipina domestic workers
Making do
This paper investigates young people’s mobile practices of ‘making do’ as they negotiate work, study and play in the home during the COVID-19 pandemic. Focusing on Singapore, and drawing on original empirical data derived from online journaling by twenty participants, the paper elaborates on their practices of ‘making do’ when working from home. Using an interdisciplinary approach spanning youth, cultural and architectural studies, the paper cons…
Understanding user interactions and perceptions of AI risk in Singapore
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is becoming increasingly prevalent and its application highly sophisticated. Concerns about AI's vulnerabilities and future threats have, however, long been debated among scientists and the tech community. By integrating Beck's theory of risk society with an audience-centered sense-making approach, we seek to understand the effects of AI on the general public's daily lives and their concerns when they adopt AI technol…
Digital citizenship in Asia
This paper situates the theory and practice of digital citizenship in general and Asia in particular. It surveys four extant thematic clusters: (1) the democratizing potential of information and communication technologies; (2) the role of digital citizenship education; (3) the power structures of technology in shaping citizen participation, and; (4) the digital emancipation of marginalized groups and communities. It highlights a new fifth cluster…
Digital sexual citizenship and LGBT young people's platform use
Drawing on original interviews and digital ethnography conducted with 20 LGBT young people, and using critical platform studies and a design-centric approach, this paper demonstrates how platform use has enabled LGBT young people maintain sexual identity authenticity, normalise fluidity, reimagine community through allied algorithmic mediation, negotiate the threat of peer surveillance, and refuse platform norms so as to self-narrate gender affir…
Conjunctions of resilience and the Covid-19 crisis of the creative cultural industries
This article compares the conjunctions of emergency resilience and ecological resilience that underpin the creative cultural industry (CCI) crisis. It first introduces three characteristics that socially construct the CCI crisis and its hegemonic practice of emergency resilience (time, disaster discourse, and the adaptation of aesthetic digitalization) and exposes multiple discourses - from the technologies of cultural statistics to corporate fin…
Doing Cultural Citizenship in the Global Media Hub
Introduction
Although it has long been considered a non-Asian country located in Asia, Australia is increasingly linked to Asian media circuits, and the rise of the Asian media industries is changing Australian media culture. At the level of consumption, Asian media content – from Bollywood film to Japanese TV to Chinese online video to Korean social media and K-pop – is now more readily accessible than ever to media users in Australia due to broadband connec…
Digital Literacy Through Digital Citizenship
The field of critical digital literacy studies has burgeoned in recent years as a result of the increased cultural consumption of digital media as well as the turn to the production of digital media forms. This article extends extant digital literacy studies by focusing on its subfield of digital citizenship. Proposing that digital citizenship is not another dimension or axis of citizenship, but a practice through which civic activities in the va…
(Im)mobile precarity in the Asia-Pacific
If on a global scale, our late-modern era is marked by intensifying mobilities of many kinds, then Asia as a geo-cultural region exemplifies this trend in particularly forceful ways, with large mobile populations including permanent migrants, refugees, international students, labour migrants, young travelers, as well as well-developed cross-border networks of mobile media technologies, products, talents, and finances. Our starting point in this a…
Trajectories, institutions, and re-locations
This conversation explores the resonances of the Inter-Asia project outside the geographical boundaries of Asia. The participants, who represent diverse national, institutional, and professional experiences, discuss the following topics: how Asia and the Inter-Asia project has affected their intellectual trajectories; navigating academic institutions and formations; the changing meaning of diaspora and migration and their effects on language and …

My keyword today is action. No, it's not about Meaghan Morris the action hero! But it is about Meaghan Morris as a woman of action. It is also about Meaghan's work on action cinema and cultural research as engaged scholarship in action
Trans-Singapore
From the transsexual sex workers of Bugis Street to the self-fashioning butches of the current creative economy, trans-visibility has always been an iconic feature of Singapore’s public culture. Using three case studies that examine colonial transsexual subculture, postcolonial transgender biomedical modernity and the contemporary inter-Asian performances of tomboy boybands, this paper examines these practices of trans-embodiment to reveal their …

New media in Singapore's creative economy
The transformation of Singapore as a creative economy in the last fifteen years or so has been enabled by key transformations in the new media landscape. This chapter examines these policy developments and regulations over new media in general, and on television and the Internet in particular. By critically mapping its new media ecology across its creative economy, this chapter has two aims: first, to elucidate the innovations of its new media de…
Notes towards the queer Asian city
The last decade has witnessed the emergence and consolidation of new and established gay cities in East and Southeast Asia, in particular, the sexualisation of the Singapore city-state, the commerce-led boom of queer Bangkok, the rise of middle-class gay consumer cultures in Manila and Hong Kong, and the proliferation of underground LGBT scenes in Shanghai and Beijing. In the West, scholarships on urban gay centres such as San Francisco, New York…
"Australia's "Asian Century
In late September 2013, Australian news media reported on two very different events related to journeys across the ocean straits that separate Australia from Indonesia. On the evening of September 26th, an Indonesian fishing boat carrying eighty refugees from northern Lebanon who intended to seek asylum in Australia foundered off a West Java beach. The boat sank the following day. Thirty-one people who had been onboard drowned. Some of those who …
Large screens as creative clusters
Framing Sinophone Cinemas
Making and remaking multicultural arts
Currently, a discourse of decline shadows multiculturalism, claiming it is 'no longer' viable as a governmental technique to manage present-day social complexity. This article revisits multiculturalism as an intervention in the discourse of decline, shifting the terms of the multiculturalism debate from the abstract struggle between competing political ideologies, to the minor material processes through which multiculturalism was enacted. Through…
New Communities, New Racisms
This critical introduction surveys conceptual developments of 'new racism' and traces the sociological, governmental and theoretical deployments of 'new communities'. It offers a critical summary of the articles presented in this themed journal issue and situates these within Asian-Australian cultural studies
Translating Gesture in a Transnational Public Sphere
Translation is a key concept for interpreting cross-cultural exchanges. In this article, we track the development of an artistic project that we developed in conjunction with Federation Square Melbourne and Art Centre Nabi in Seoul. It involved the performance of a live telematic dance that occurred in both cities and was transmitted via the use of large screens. The interaction across these physical and mediated spaces produced a dynamic exchang…
Mega Screens for Mega Cities
This article considers how networked large urban screens can act as a platform for the creation of an experimental transnational public sphere. It takes as a case study a specific Australia-Korea cultural event that linked large screens in Federation Square, Melbourne, and Tomorrow City, Incheon, 1 through the presentation of SMS-based interactive media art works. The article combines theoretical analyses of global citizenship, mobility, digital …
Queer Asian mobility and homonational modernity
In recent years, the regulation of mobility has seen marriage equality emerge as a homonational discourse of progressive gay and lesbian politics championed on the erasure of homophobia to end systemic discrimination. While homonational modernity promotes the superiority of a nation through sexual openness, it also mobilizes the fear of homophobia to marginalize racialized and sexualized minorities through sexual quarantine. Using media case stud…

Same-Sex Migration in Australia
In 1985 Australia became one of the first countries in the world to accept same-sex relationships as the basis of migration. Under the compassionate and humanitarian visa category, same-sex applications were assessed through ministerial discretion. In 1991 the "interdependency" category was introduced to recognize nonfamilial migration. Same-sex migration has been hailed as reflecting Australia's progressive sexual law reform and modernizing Aust…
Cultural governance and creative industries in Singapore
Singapore, a leading country in the Asia‐Pacific region, is currently attempting to transform its cultural industry into creative economy. Creative economies capitalise on how knowledge can be marketed by merging arts, technology and business. They ensure a nation's competitiveness within an integrated global economy. This paper critically examines Singapore's recent cultural policy developments in tourism, broadcasting and new media. It argues t…

Critical Regionalities in Inter-Asia and the Queer Diaspora

Hawking In The Creative City
The development of creative industries in Asia in recent years has seen the rise of Korea, Hong Kong and Singapore as post-modern centres of innovation. From the new co-produced pan-Asian horror and action film genres, to brands like Samsung and Creative Technology, to the branding of cities through new nationalisms, creative industries are transforming cultural industries by merging the arts with technology and business. Characterised by cluster…
Diasporic Chinese media in Australia
Despite the exponential growth of Chinese migrants in Australia, and despite the sizable body of work in various locations, the picture of how the Chinese-language media have developed in Australia over the past decade is still somewhat unclear. Even less clear is a sense of how the field has changed since the 2008 Beijing Olympics Games, a significant event that signalled China's ascent on to the global stage. This paper seeks to update the pict…
Multicultural Broadcasting and Diasporic Video as Public Sphericules
Broadcasting constitutes a major platform on which contemporary public cultures may be built and managed. However, mainstream broadcasting, even when its charter responsibilities focus on service to and representation of a culturally pluralistic social field, has limits as it seeks to meet these responsibilities. Diasporic video, although marginal to most national media ecologies, is important at a global level in addressing cultural maintenance …

High anxiety
A long and diverse line of commentators from W. H. Auden and Paul Tillich to Marshall McLuhan and Jean Baudrillard have pronounced ours an age of anxiety. Unhinged from former orthodoxies and subject to constant, multiple transformations, the post/modern era, they contend, is characterized by a Zeitgeist of fragmentation, ambiguity, and pervasive anxiousness. In these terms, cultural studies may very well lay claim as the contemporary knowledge f…

Interface
This essay interrogates the colonial modernity of Anglo-Australian lesbian hegemony through an experimental text which plays with the aesthetics of cyberspace. Mobilizing the hypertext mark up language (HTML) form of the Internet, it spatializes the creative, the erotic, and the political that landscape the vicissitudes of everyday life for a lesbian of Southeast Asian background living in Australia. "interface" performs as a tryst that drives th…

Detailing the theoretical aims, design, implementation and incipient evaluation o…
Gay Asian Sexual Health in Australia
This article critically examines how the public health governance of HIV/AIDS has constructed the racialized biopolitics of the gay Asian Australian community. The old biopolitics of health that excluded the Asian at the turn of the 19th century is now eclipsed by a new biopolitics that foregrounds the racialized body as a site of inclusion. The new biopolitics has emerged from within policy innovations in Australia's multicultural sexual health …

Westie” Films and Doing Transnational Action
In recent years, a new type of guerrilla diasporic filmmaking has emerged in the Australian cities of Sydney and Melbourne. With no official funding, shot on digital camera, using amateur crew and cast, promoted through the ethnic community, and distributed informally via word of mouth or on the Internet, numerous short films based on the genre of transnational action cinema have been made by diasporic young Asians living in the peripheral Wester…

The Chinese-Language Press in Australia
Despite clear evidence pointing to the centrality of the Chinese press in the historical formation of the Chinese community, and despite the continued importance of the Chinese-language press in the current political, cultural, social and economic life of the Chinese community, there is little understanding of its history and recent growth in mainstream English-language media scholarship. Worse still, the shift in recent scholarship to the power …
