In Shirley Geok-lin Lim’s essay ‘Semiotics, Experience and the Material Self’ (1988), she writes: ‘The Asian woman writer, like women everywhere, continues to be constituted by a Male Other. When we look at ourselves in maturity, the gaze we have re-constituted from our culture is male.’ In 2018, nearly 30 years after the essay was written, is it still viable to talk about ‘the’ Asian woman writer or the ‘male gaze’? Crazy Rich Asians went from a satire to a Hollywood movie. Just who is having the last laugh?Speakers: Beth Yahp, Shih-li Kow, Shirley Geok-lin Lim, Sreedhevi IyerModerator: Ann Lee
