In At the Pivot of East and West, Michael M. J. Fischer examines
documentary filmmaking and literature from Southeast Asia and
Singapore for their para-ethnographic insights into politics,
culture, and aesthetics. Women novelists—Lydia Kwa, Laksmi
Pamuntjak, Sandi Tan, Jing Jing Lee, and Danielle Lim—renarrate
Southeast Asian generational and political worlds as gendered
psychodramas, while filmmakers Tan Pin Pin and Daniel Hui use film
to probe into what can better be seen beyond textual worlds. Other
writers like Daren Goh, Kevin Martens Wong, and Nuraliah Norasid
reinvent the detective story for the age of artificial
intelligence, use monsters to reimagine the Southeast Asian
archipelago, and critique racism and the erasure of ethnic cultural
histories. Continuing his project of applying anthropological
thinking to the creative arts, Fischer exemplifies how art and
fiction trace the ways in which taken-for-granted common sense
changes over time, speak to the transnational present, and track
signals of the future before they surface in public awareness.
