\u2014<\/span> Masterplan 21, Singapore Tourism Board, 1996<\/span><\/p>\n Singapore identifies itself as having no borders and \u201cno real limits\u201d. This identity no longer depends on an Other, master nor slave, against which to take shape. This is twinned in the city-state\u2019s single party rule and, more tangibly, in everyday experiences of race.<\/span><\/p>\n We invite you to think through and discuss together, the way race at a face-to-face level can be used as a lens to understand the different layers of social organisation in Singapore: from the everyday with its social interactions and subjectivities, to the government\u2019s supposed non-ideological yet pragmatic position, to neoliberalism more generally.<\/span><\/p>\n The questions will include:<\/span><\/p>\n How is race understood at an everyday level? Why is race and racial categories perhaps stunted, or kept at a stereotypical level?<\/span><\/p>\n How is this \u201cretarded\u201d state of racial discourse useful to, or used by the larger organizational structures? By the Government? And by neoliberalism?<\/span><\/p>\n Why might these conditions of race be philosophically, politically or economically functional for those in power?<\/span><\/p>\n The conversation circle is moderated by Imran Taib, Founding Member of Leftwrite Center.<\/p>\n Please join us in the conversation circle!<\/p>\n The conversation circle starts at 7 p.m. to 8.30 p.m. This event is part of the programme for the Art After Dark party at Gillman Barracks.<\/p>\n JOIN US ON FACEBOOK<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n Email for inquiries | hey@brack.sg<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n
