Abstract |
Carl Plantinga argues that psychological film studies have so circumscribed the terms “pleasures”, “desires” and “fantasy” that it has become imperative to expand the understanding of the pleasures of viewing films and the functions of fantasy and desire within narrative. Plantinga also interrogates the notion of pleasure as defined in screen studies and maintains that “the spectator’s pleasure in viewing mainstream films is more complex and contradictory than screen theory allowed”. Using a “cognitive-perceptual approach” to the moviegoing experience (Plantinga 2009, 39), he identifies five sources of audience pleasure in mainstream films, namely: (i) cognitive play, (ii) visceral experience, (iii) sympathy and parasocial engagement, (iv) satisfying emotional trajectories rooted in narrative scenarios, and (v) various reflexive and social activities associated with film viewing such as criticism and appreciation. He also regards the intratextual experience of viewing films to be as important as the intertextual and extratextual. In an earlier essay, Plantinga and Tan engaged in an exchange about the global nature of film affect and concluded that “the study of affect is best initially approached at the local level, as the attempt to isolate and describe individual affects or affect trajectories, and the structures that elicit them” They proposed that “at the global level, we can best approach a film as an intentional orchestration of multiple affects, rather than as a text that generates a single, overarching affective or emotional state”. Overarching theories of film affect fail to elucidate the multiple affects of Hindi films for South Asian viewers, particularly diasporic viewers, for whom the pleasures of the cinematic text are invariably imbricated in the extratextual pleasures of the sensuous geographies they evoke. viewing cinema as an event, this chapter traces the history of film exhibition in Singapore to unpack the meanings of going to the movies for Singapore’s diverse ethnicities. It begins by providing a brief overview of the history of cinematic exhibition in Singapore and the social centrality Indian films have traditionally performed among Singapore’s diverse ethnic groups, before focussing on a cineplex exclusively dedicated to the screening of Hindi films. The description of this experience is based on personal observation, open-ended interviews with cinemagoersin July 2009, 2010 and October 2011 as well as on information obtained from internet chats and blogs. |

Abstract |
In 2004, Performance Studies came to Singapore for a brief visit, and, by some accounts, it was a fraught encounter. That year, a Performance Studies international (PSi) conference, PSi #10, was hosted in Singapore, the first time this association gathered in ‘Asia’. In this essay, I use this conference as a starting point to tease out the intersections between my discipline and my home country, and the anxieties and potentialities that arise from bringing the two in the same space with someone like me as an interlocutor. In doing so, I critically raise the question: what does it mean to ‘perform’ Performance Studies in a place such as Singapore, a (post-)colonial, soft- authoritarian state?. |

Alongside this development, many new national museums are being built or refurbished, pointing to the critical role the telling of history plays in processes of building national identity. From new museum construction to the re-purposing of colonial monuments, and from essentialized narratives to spaces which encourage visitors to dream, this book explores the development and influence of national museums in three contemporary Asian societies - Singapore, Hong Kong, and Macau. |
