| description | This thesis explores the role of the exhibition in constructing Peranakan identity within
the Singapore context. The analysis centres on the physical aspects of the respective
museum's permanent exhibition and focuses on (1) the use of the physical
space/architecture and (2) use of exhibited material culture to manifest the curatorial
intention and/or exhibition's narrative (which inherently determines and shapes
audience's perception of the Peranakan identity). Interviews were conducted with three
individuals who operate within the museum context to supplement existing material and
research as well as to generate contemporary insights into the subject matter. |
