Title: | Cooking the Singapore identity through the palate. | Authors: | Lim, Pei Ling. | Keywords: | DRNTU::Social sciences::Sociology::Culture | Issue Date: | 2010 | Abstract: | This research studies how Singapore identity is created and reflected in food. Food is also utilised by the Singapore state in defining the discourse of multiculturalism in the city-state. A qualitative approach was utilized in this research. An ethnographic study was carried out in three hawker centres in Singapore. A survey was also conducted with Singaporeans based overseas. Finally, a contextual analysis on “Overseas Singapore Day” was carried out. This event is organised by the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) annually. My findings show that food is a form of cultural hybridity in Singapore, and it opposes to how the state defines the Singapore identity in its discourse. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10356/44132 | Rights: | Nanyang Technological University | Fulltext Permission: | restricted | Fulltext Availability: | With Fulltext |
