102. UPNE | Theater And The Politics Of Culture In Contemporary Singapore Theater and the Politics of culture in Contemporary singapore other Asiannations, singapore s relationship with its arts and culture demands scrutiny. http://www.upne.com/0-8195-6471-0.html

distributed by Hint: for Wesleyan titles only, type "Wesleyan" and a keyword. Theater and the Politics of Culture in Contemporary Singapore Peterson, William Explores the vibrant relationships between theatre, cultural politics and social attitudes in a country whose history has many lessons for Western scholars. While the politics of Singapore continue to receive a larger share of media attention than the country's small size might seem to justify, very little has been written which attempts to link the government's cultural policies with any artistic practice. As a country that is increasingly being held up as a developmental model for other Asian nations, Singapore's relationship with its arts and culture demands scrutiny. Using Singapore's vibrant, English-language theatre as a lens, William Peterson examines the cultural implications of the much-celebrated Singapore model of political, economic and social development. The author begins by providing a framework for the understanding of the government's role in creating arts policy. Peterson then explores the "discourse of crisis" in Singaporean political spheres and its effects on the theatre, Singaporean attempts to "find" and stage culture and nationhood, festivals in Singapore, Singapore's lively, indigenous musical theatre scene, and themes of interculturalism, gender, and sexual orientation in Singaporean theatre. "Fascinating. Peterson makes a convincing argument for the benefits of studying such a culture by reminding us that Singapore has been seen in both regional and international terms as a model country whose politico-cultural history may have many lessons for Western scholars. The book explores the relationships between theatre, cultural politics and social attitudes in ways that are increasingly recognized as crucial to contemporary theatre studies."

HISTORY AND MOTIVATION The Islamic Calendar, which is based purely on lunar cycles, was first introduced in 638 C.E. by the close companion of the Prophet (PBUH) and the second Caliph, `Umar ibn Al-KHaTTab (592-644 C.E.) RAA. He did it in an attempt to rationalize the various, at times conflicting, dating systems used during his time. `Umar consulted with his advisors on the starting date of the new Muslim chronology. It was finally agreed that the most appropriate reference point for the Islamic calendar was the Hijrah. The actual starting date for the Calendar was chosen (on the basis of purely lunar years, counting backwards) to be the first day of the first month (1 MuHarram) of the year of the Hijrah. The Islamic (Hijri) calendar (with dates that fall within the Muslim Era) is usually abbreviated A.H. in Western languages from the latinized Anno Hegirae, "in the year of the Hegira".

Cultural homicide, ayoh! New Internationalist 333 Global Media / CULTURE April 2001 Ziauddin Sardar arrives in Singapore to find it’s been occupied I T has been my misfortune to arrive in various places around the world only to be engulfed in local crisis. I am no stranger to war, rumours of war, coups d'etat and various natural disasters. But never before had I stepped off a plane to be confronted with cultural homicide. Changi Airport is globalization run riot, an impersonal consumerist cornucopia of designer labels. It is also dedicated to being the world's premier transport hub. From here you can go anywhere, ushered along by the ubiquitous Singapore Girl. Whenever I arrive in the building, I leave as rapidly as possible, hoping for a talkative ride into Singapore city centre, courtesy of a local taxi driver. And that is how the full scale of the culture crisis overwhelmed me. I was spared the usual inquisition that introduces conversation- where are you from, how's the economy there, how long are you staying, what do you think of Singapore. Enough to say I was down from Kuala Lumpur for the weekend to invoke a deluge of angst. 'Ah, no need sorry for my Singlish lah . You boleh Singlish, ah? Very bad, ah. Prime Minister say Singlish cannot, ah. So now what
