This book tells the story of one such city, revealing how national development produces both aspirations to be cosmopolitan and to improve one‘s class standing, along with limitations in achieving such aims. Through the analysis of three different groups of workers in Singapore, Ye shows that cosmopolitanism is an exclusive and aspirational construct created through global and national development strategies, transnational migration and individual senses of identity. This dialectic relationship between class and cosmopolitanism is never free from power and is constituted through material and symbolic conditions, struggles and violence. Class is also constituted through ‘the self‘ and lies at the very heart of different constructions of personhood as they intersect with gender, race, sexuality, ethnicity and nationality. . | 出版日期 | Book 2016 | 关键词 | Class; cosmopolitanism; feminist methodology; identities; labour; development; Southeast Asia; Singapore; fe | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1057/9781137436153 | isbn_softcover | 978-1-349-68342-0 | isbn_ebook | 978-1-137-43615-3Series ISSN 2662-2580 Series E-ISSN 2662-2599 | issn_series | 2662-2580 | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s) 2016 |
