More‐Than‐Debt: Affective Topologies of Buy‐Now‐Pay‐Later (BNPL) Platforms in Singapore

Transactions of the Institute of British Geographers, Volume 51, Issue 2, June 2026.
Short Abstract Buy‐now‐pay‐later (BNPL) platforms reconfigure indebtedness by operating as topological‐affective infrastructures that simultaneously modulate spatial relations and felt intensities. Drawing on diaries and interviews with BNPL users in Singapore, this paper reveals how platform mechanisms generate recursive movements across four ...
