1 HS1002: SINGAPORE SOCIETY IN TRANSITION Nanyang Technological University Lecturer: Asst Prof Kamaludeen Mohamed Nasir Office: HSS Building #05-25 Telephone: Office Hours: By appointment Course Description Contemporary Singapore has been described by observers in many different ways. The country has been perceived by some as a model of economic success and multiethnic harmony. Others have criticized the high degree of state regulation in the nationstate. This course provides a sociological perspective on various aspects of Singapore society, from its historical formation to its post-independence social transformation. Issues to be covered include the question of national identity and culture. We examine whether Singaporeans possess a common identity and a culture to call their own. Matters concerning the exercise of political power and the maintenance of authority will also be analyzed. We explore methods of governance that shape society and individuals. Finally, we examine social divisions, for example, class, gender, and religious affiliations. Students will learn to develop the sociological imagination - the ability to relate personal problems of everyday life to the larger political, economic, social and cultural issues. General Expectations Students are expected to have perused all the readings before each lecture. Required readings will be uploaded onto edventure at least a week before the lecture. Films, newspaper articles, and other media content will also be used for this course. Students will occasionally be asked to provide critical comments on these materials. Hand in all assignments on time; late submissions are subjected to penalties unless accompanied by medical certificates or other legitimate proof of incapacity/incapacitation. Students are expected to demonstrate the ability to formulate and present rigorous arguments through written assignments. Please bring along your CLICKER for every class 1
