| description | Despite the proliferation and popularity of television across the globe during the 20th Century, academic discussions of television have relegated it to the realm of either nationalistic discourse or globalized culture. Others focus on unpacking and understanding the content of television programmes, leaving the institutional developments of television and its relevant organizations relatively untouched. This study aims to address both of these issues, by looking at how television and the state television organizations in Singapore developed from 1952–1994. It would be argued that television was a medium by which the state navigated between the forces of nationalism and globalization. It would be argued that Singapore’s television organization juggled not just simply between the forces of nationalism and globalization, but between different dynamic interactions of nationalism and globalization that occurred concurrently. |
