| Résumé: | The author explores the negotiation of power over the urban landscape between the municipal authorities and the Chinese communities in colonial Singapore over a highly contentious question: whether any element of the urban built-environment could be considered "sacred" and immune to changes demanded by the economic rigours of urban development. She (the author) looks at the conflicting discourses which developed over the nature and location of Chinese burial grounds. (DÜI-Sen) |
