Paperback or Softback. Condizione: New. Sensory Contact Zones in the City. Book.

Paperback. Condizione: New. What does it require to critically investigate our sensory engagement with urban living? How can one analytically study sensory behaviours of both human and animal actors? This Element explores how sensory encounters of smells and sounds in urban living shape human-animal relations in the city. Conceptually anchored upon the proposed notions of sensory contact zones and sensory citizenship, this study further highlights how smells and sounds may be subject to the purview of law and sensory jurisprudence. It conceptualises new modes of fostering and analysing these themes through interrogating a range of sensory interactions in historical and contemporary contexts.…

Paperback. Condizione: New. Bracketed Belonging addresses how nations and their governance of security determine social constellations and shape socio-political and legal assertions of belonging and allegiance. Kelvin E. Y. Low examines the contours and limits of belonging that underlie the complex social contract between mobile migrants and nations in the context of a global military-security market. He explores these core themes through the case of Nepali Gurkhas and their families as military and paramilitary migrants. Recruited to serve in the military or police force, Gurkhas are trained in jungle warfare skills that other police groups do not possess. There is thus the professional link to military training and the formation of a unique paramilitary police force with the backdrop of colonialism. In these contexts, this book offers fresh perspectives on studying global security, migration and diasporic lives. It sets a new agenda by analytically bridging empire, military and security maneuvers, and migratory pathways and options. In doing so, Bracketed Belonging serves as a novel contribution to current scholarship on migration and transnationalism, and on police and security studies.…

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. In the early twentieth century, thousands of women from the Samsui area of Guangdong, China migrated to Singapore during a period of economic and natural calamity, leaving their families behind. In their new country, many found work in the construction industry, with others working in households or factories where they were called hong tou jin, translated literally as "red-head-scarf," after the headgear that protected them from the sun. In Singapore, the women have been celebrated as pioneering figures for their hard work and resilience, and in China for the sacrifices they made for their families. Remembering the Samsui Women looks at who these women really are and at how both countries have commemorated their experiences. It is an illuminating study of the connection between memory and nation, including the politics of what is remembered and what is forgotten. A study of the Samsui women who migrated from China to Singapore, where they have been commemorated as nation-builders.

Hardback. Condizione: New. Professor Tan Yock Lin (1953-2023) was a distinguished legal scholar. He was a prominent figure in Singapore's legal community and Emeritus Professor at the Faculty of Law, National University of Singapore. Over a career spanning forty years, he taught courses in no fewer than fourteen subjects and was the longest-serving and most prolific member of the Law Reform Committee of the Singapore Academy of Law. Known for his unparalleled knowledge of Singapore law, intellectual rigour, and deep personal integrity, Tan's scholarship helped define and advance the study of law in Singapore. This volume brings together twelve essays by eminent legal scholars addressing the wide-ranging fields in which Professor Tan made lasting scholarly contributions: equity and trusts, personal property, international law, and the law of evidence and criminal justice. Alongside these are personal tributes that offer glimpses into how he touched the lives of those around him as student, teacher, mentor, and colleague. At once an academic contribution and a work of remembrance, A Gentleman of the Law honours the legacy of a scholar whose impact will long continue to shape the legal landscape in Singapore and beyond. This volume is an essential addition to any collection on Singapore law.…
