This is a book that explores, through a close study of contemporary made-in-Singapore films and television programs, the possibilities and limitations of resistance through art and popular culture within a one-dimensional society, defined as an industrialized and globalized capitalist society whose oppressions, repressions, exploitations, contradictions, tensions, and crisis tendencies have been contained, controlled, manipulated, and hidden by deeply entrenched authoritarian institutions, practices, beliefs, habits, and instincts.
