| Summary: | This paper looks at how the Second World War in Singapore is narrated by the public. Current scholarship on the Second World War narrative tends to study the topic from the government’s perspective. What this paper seeks to do is to re-examine how the Second World War narrative is being told by the public and delivered back to the public sphere for consumption.
Using independent works that set the war as their context, this paper aims to analyse the topics or issues that are brought up in the narrative. The results gathered from this analysis can be informative in telling examining how war is remembered by the public, as well as the potentiality of using public space to archive a diverse ways of narrating the Second World War. |
