Chinese Theatre Troupes in Southeast Asia
A detailed account of the cultural history of the Chinese diaspora, with a focus on the performers and audiences who were involved in the making of Chinese performing cultures in Southeast Asia. Focusing on five different kinds of theatre troupes from China and their respective travels in Singapore, Bangkok, Malaya and Hong Kong, Zhang examines their different travelling experiences and divergent cultural practices. She thus sheds light on how transnational mobility was embodied, practised and circumscribed in the course of troupes’ travelling, sojourning and interacting with diasporic communities. These troupes communicated diverse discourses and ideologies influenced by different social political movements in China, and these meanings were further altered by transmission. By unpacking multiple ways of performing Chineseness that was determined by changing time-space constructions, this volume provides valuable insight for scholars of the Chinese Diaspora, Transnational History and Performing Arts in Asia.
New Insights in Microbial Stress Tolerance Mechanisms
Microorganisms are ubiquitous and can be found in various environments, ranging from extreme habitats like deep-sea hydrothermal vents, arctic glaciers, and outer space to more common environments such as soil, water, and the human gut. These microorganisms are exposed to diverse stressors, including temperature fluctuations, pH changes, toxin exposure, and nutrient deprivation, antimicrobial agents and host immune responses, which can threaten survival. However, many microorganisms have evolved numerous stress tolerance mechanisms that enable them to adapt and thrive in these challenging environments.
Refrigeration Systems and Applications
The Special Issue “Refrigeration Systems and Applications” aims to encourage researchers to address the concerns associated with climate change and the sustainability of artificial cold production systems, and to further the transition to the more sustainable technologies and methodologies of tomorrow through theoretical, experimental, and review research on the different applications of refrigeration and associated topics.
Wayang Spaceship: Ming Wong
Commissioned by Singapore Art Museum’s public art initiative, The Everyday Museum, Ming Wong’s Wayang Spaceship was first shown at SAM at Tanjong Pagar Distripark in July 2022. Challenging conventional forms of public art, the artwork draws on speculative fiction and Cantonese opera cinema, situated within the context of Southeast Asia, to explore themes of migration, memory, and futurity. Later, it was relocated to the lawn in front of Victoria Theatre as part of Light to Night Singapore 2024. This publication serves not only as documentation of the public artwork’s iterations, but also as a discursive companion, featuring a curatorial essay by Syaheedah Iskandar, a short creative text by the artist, and a contribution by Dr Jeannine Tang.
Cold War Asia
Conventional narratives of the Cold War revolve around high-level diplomats and state leaders in Washington, Beijing, and Moscow, but this anthology instead reveals how ordinary people across Asia experienced the era. Heavily rooted in oral history, this study takes readers to the villages of rural Java; the jungles of northern Thailand; the indigenous tribal communities of Kerala, India; and many other places in this vast region. Masuda Hajimu organizes each chapter around the theme of “many Cold Wars,” or, more precisely, the many local and social wars that were imagined as part of the global Cold War. These histories raise fundamental questions about standard Cold War narratives, encouraging readers to rethink why the Cold War still matters. Contributors are Mary Grace Concepcion, Simon Creak, Cui Feng, David C. Engerman, Prasit Leepreecha, Luong Thi Hong, Muhammad Kunhi Mahin Udma, Masuda Hajimu, Alan McPherson, Imam Muhtarom, Sim Chi Yin, Kisho Tsuchiva, Odd Arne Westad, Matthew Woolgar, Kinuko Maehara Yamazato, Bin Yang, and Taomo Zhou.
