> In this talk, Obendorf argues that queer lives and politics are subject to
> the contradictory pressures that emerge from Singapores attempts to
> position itself as a world-class creative city while protecting its status
> as a sovereign political entity. He explores how notions of creativity and
> discourses about external threat and contamination continue to limit the
> possibilities for the emergence of queer politics in Singapore and point
> to some of the dangers inherent in accepting queer social rights based
> primarily on economic contribution and cosmopolitan location.
