Abstract

ABSTRACT Aligned with geography's efforts to recover subaltern spaces, this paper investigates the phenomenon of smoking in Singapore through the concept of the queer closet. In so doing, I argue that the closet offers a refreshing analytical framework for thinking about the spatial politics of smoking beyond the dichotomies of public and public spheres, visibility and invisibility, concealment and disclosure, among others. By employing a qualitative methodology, I examine how embodied senses of fragmented selves may vary across space as young people selectively “out” themselves as smokers. Relatedly, I demonstrate that they are to varying degrees, in and out of the closet. Additionally, I contend that they are creative agents who are capable of working around the spatio-social constraints that have been imposed by the Smoking (Prohibition in Certain Places) Act.

感觉/填充壁橱吸烟空间:协商公私领域,穿越情感领域
本文结合地理学对底层空间恢复的努力,通过酷儿衣橱的概念来调查新加坡的吸烟现象。在这样做的过程中,我认为,衣柜提供了一个令人耳目一新的分析框架,可以超越公共领域和公共领域、可见性和不可见性、隐藏性和公开性等二分法来思考吸烟的空间政治。通过采用定性方法,我研究了当年轻人选择性地“出”自己是吸烟者时,碎片化自我的具体感觉如何在空间上变化。与此相关,我证明了他们在不同程度上是出柜或出柜的。此外,我认为他们是创造性的代理人,能够绕过《某些地方禁止吸烟法》所施加的空间-社会限制。

期刊介绍: Asian Geographer disseminates knowledge about geographical problems and issues focusing on Asia and the Pacific Rim. Papers dealing with other regions should have a linkage to Asia and the Pacific Rim. Original and timely articles dealing with any field of physical or human geographical inquiries and methodologies will be considered for publication. We welcome, for example, submissions on people-environment interactions, urban and regional development, transport and large infrastructure, migration, natural disasters and their management, environment and energy issues. While the focus of the journal is placed on original research articles, review papers as well as viewpoints and research notes under the category of “Asian Geography in Brief” are also considered. Review papers should critically and constructively analyse the current state of understanding on geographical and planning topics in Asia. The ‘Asian Geography in Brief’ section welcomes submissions of applied geographical and planning research about Asia. The section aims to showcase (1) the diverse geography and planning of Asia; and (2) the diverse geographical and planning research about Asia. The journal will also publish special issues on particular themes or areas. Book reviews can be included from time to time.
