From the 1970s, flash fiction(weixing xiaoshuo 微型小說)developed into a comparably outsized literary practice relative to other Sinophone forms in Singapore. The smallness and brevity of flash fiction cohere with the fast pace of urban Singaporean life and the constant transformation of its cityscape; the compartmentalized relationship between the nation’s four official languages; the marginality of literary spaces and challenges to maintaining literature as a profession; and Southeast Asia’s relative obscurity as a world literary center(with Singapore as a small but important connective hub). Taking the late Yeng Pway Ngon’s 英培安 fleeting scene of Speakers’ Corner as a point of departure, this presentation will chart a short genre history of Sinophone flash and its relationship to literary community building in Singapore through integrative readings of representative works by Jun Yinglü 君盈綠, Ai Yu 艾禺, Wong Meng Voon 黃孟文, Xi Ni Er 希尼爾, and Wu Yeow Chong 吳燿宗, recognizing their formal and thematic intersections as iridescent corners that play with the state’s cultural, political, and geographical "OB"(out-of-bounds)markers. Rather than privileging professional mastery, their works trace flash fiction’s iridescent literariness and worldliness to hyper-locality, compressed temporality, a participatory culture of authorship, and a spirit of amateurism. This amateurism is derived not from a sense of linguistic underdevelopment or technical lack among these authors but by their passionate and vulnerable engagement with the flash form as well as the dissident moral conscience of their thematically and stylistically intersecting critiques of Singapore’s sociopolitical OB markers.

In today's world, a website is the digital front door of any college.
It's the first thing people see when they want to learn more about your college.
So, it makes sense to ensure that your digital front door is accessible to everyone.
Let me introduce you to ADA Site Compliance.
ADA compliance ensures your digital assets are legally compliant by making them accessible to people with disabilities.

Here’s what ADA compliance means for your college:
Foster a culture of inclusion within your college community.
Ensure all students, staff, and community members feel valued.
Provide equal access to build a more inclusive learning environment.
Many colleges have been hit hard with targeted litigation recently…

So, I urge you to take the necessary steps toward ADA compliance!

Our experts would love to talk you through our human testing approach. Would you like to learn more? You can also contact us directly at 561-258-9514 or run a free site scan

All the Best,
