Singapore Comparative Literature Compendium presents an array of essential readings from the local canon. A compelling argument for the comparative study of Singapore's multilingual literature, the compendium aims to encourage inter-ethnic, inter-lingual, and inter-cultural transfer through the study of cultural expression across language and cultural divides within Singapore's literary scene.
Apart from education and language policy, the compendium features the following seven sections: politics and history; gender, sexuality, and patriarchy; growing up, ageing, mortality; new migrants; multiculturalism and minority concerns; travel, regionalism, and global SG; and lastly, genre, experimental and speculative fiction.
In turn, this compendium aims to alter entrenched orientations and encourage movement beyond the ascriptive parameters that organise cultural discussion in Singapore
