Bøger af Joanne Leow

Counter-Cartographies proposes new methods of cultural and literary analysis that read against the mapped spectacle of a hyper-planned and developed (post)colonial city. To excavate, wayfind, circumvent, and confabulate in Singapore enables us to understand the contours and pressures of authoritarian governance and to reveal the insidious aspects of biopolitical power and ecological control.

"Meditating on exile, loss, diaspora, authoritarian law, and altered ecologies, Joanne Leow's debut collection spans from the would-be Eden of hyper-planned and surveilled Singapore to an uneasy settling in the Canadian Prairies, seeking answers to the question of what is lost in intensive urban development and the journey across continents. Reflecting on relationships between lovers, parents and children, state and citizen, land and body, seas move away asks what we owe each other across borders and what endures in times of great flux and irreversible ecological change."--
