  • Hong Kong's Endgame and the Rule of Law (Ii): the Battle Over "The People" and the Business Community in the Transition to Chinese Rule
    HONG KONG'S ENDGAME AND THE RULE OF LAW (II): THE BATTLE OVER "THE PEOPLE" AND THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY IN THE TRANSITION TO CHINESE RULE JACQUES DELISLE* & KEVIN P. LANE- 1. INTRODUCTION Transitional Hong Kong's endgame formally came to a close with the territory's reversion to Chinese rule on July 1, 1997. How- ever, a legal and institutional order and a "rule of law" for Chi- nese-ruled Hong Kong remain works in progress. They will surely bear the mark of the conflicts that dominated the final years pre- ceding Hong Kong's legal transition from British colony to Chinese Special Administrative Region ("S.A.R."). Those endgame conflicts reflected a struggle among adherents to rival conceptions of a rule of law and a set of laws and institutions that would be adequate and acceptable for Hong Kong. They unfolded in large part through battles over the attitudes and allegiance of "the Hong Kong people" and Hong Kong's business community. Hong Kong's Endgame and the Rule of Law (I): The Struggle over Institutions and Values in the Transition to Chinese Rule ("Endgame I") focused on the first aspect of this story. It examined the political struggle among members of two coherent, but not monolithic, camps, each bound together by a distinct vision of law and sover- t Special Series Reprint: Originally printed in 18 U.

Way forward - Is objective journalism still what Hong Kong needs? 27 1 Preface Hong Kong journalists have always stood on the front line of reporting China, a country that exercises an authoritarian system of government but is nonetheless on track to global economic prominence. The often-overlooked role of Hong Kong journalists, though, has gained international attention in summer 2019, when weeks of citywide protests has viralled into the largest-scale public opposition movement ever in the city’s 22-year history as a postcolonial political entity under Chinese sovereignty, forcing the Hong Kong government into accepting defeat over the hugely controversial extradition bill. While much can be said about the admirable professionalism of Hong Kong’s frontline journalists including reporters, photojournalists and video journalists, most of whom not having received the level of warzone-like training required amid the police’s unprecedentedly massive use of potentially lethal weapons, this essay seeks to examine something less visible and less discussed by international media and academia: the extent to which China influences Hong Kong’s media organisations, either directly or indirectly. The issue is important on three levels.

With the expert advice given by museum advisors and the concerted efforts of museum staff, many of the programmes organised by the museums in the past few years have received overwhelming response, as evident from the record breaking attendance of 5.8 million visitors and 1.17 million people taking part in the education and extension programmes organised by the museums in 2012. The new directions set for the museums and the progress made in the past three years (2010-2012) are summarised in the ensuing paragraphs.

Mixing River Water and Well Water: The Harmonization of Hong Kong and PRC Law The 1998 Wing Tat Lee Lecture* Tahirih V. Lee** The Chinese language is rich with pithy yet evocative sayings. Their terseness makes them easy to remember, fun to use, and relatively safe when the intended meaning contradicts official discourse. One such saying, which enjoys a great deal of popularity in Hong Kong, is he soi bat fan hah soi. Roughly translated, this means, "River water does not mix with well water." The saying's underlying meaning cannot be found in dictionaries or official sources. According to rumor, however, river water represents Guangdong' natives and well water refers to Hong Kong natives. A likely reason for the saying's popularity in Hong Kong is its emphasis on the gulf between Hong Kong locals and the inhabitants of mainland China.

  • Toward a Theory of Emotive Performance: with Lessons from How Politicians Do Anger∗
    Toward a Theory of Emotive Performance: With Lessons from How Politicians Do Anger∗ KWAI HANG NG University of California, San Diego JEFFREY L. KIDDER Northern Illinois University This article treats the public display of emotion as social performance. The con- cept of “emotive performance” is developed to highlight the overlooked quality of performativity in the social use of emotion. We argue that emotive performance is reflexive, cultural, and communicative. As an active social act, emotive perfor- mance draws from the cultural repertoire of interpretative frameworks and dominant narratives. We illustrate the utility of the concept by analyzing two episodes of unrehearsed emotive performances by two well-known politicians, Bill Clinton and Jiang Zemin. The two cases demonstrate how emotion can be analyzed as a domain in which culturally specific narratives and rhetorics are used to advance the situa- tional agenda of actors. The concept opens up a more expansive research agenda for sociology. It pushes sociologists to pay greater attention to people’s experiences, interpretations, and deployments of emotions in social life. Emotion is often regarded, even among sociologists, as the quintessential outlier phenomenon. It is considered too abrupt, unpredictable, and instinctual to have connections with our otherwise disciplined lives. This is so despite the works of social psychologists and anthropologists who have long argued that emotions suffuse all aspects of social life.

In 1992, commentators who were invited to the launch of the New Hall Art Collection wrestled with the deceptively simple but contested term “women artists.” Feminist art historian Griselda Pollock suggested in her published address, “We can read the works for clues about the full complexity and possibility of what it might mean to live ‘as women’ under the sign ‘woman,’ ‘black woman,’ ‘lesbian,’ ‘mother,’ ‘artist,’ ‘citizen,’ and so forth. Therein in this collection we will find no consistency, no generality, no common thread.”1 And yet commonalities are discussedboth clichés and factsevery time a platform is opened to talk about "women artists," with recurring questions about women’s representation and visibility in art history, public institutions, and the market.
