Counter-Cartographies proposes new methods of cultural and literary analysis that read against the mapped spectacle of a hyper-planned and developed (post)colonial city. To excavate, wayfind, circumvent, and confabulate in Singapore enables us to understand the contours and pressures of authoritarian governance and to reveal the insidious aspects of biopolitical power and ecological control.
