Samtani - Sha Tin College Public Service Nicole Lauren Lee - Renaissance College NEWS May 2015 May English Schools Foundation ALUMNI TABLE FOREWORD Welcome to this May edition of ESF Alumni News! of As one of the newest members of ESF Centre (only two weeks on the job), it is my privilege to offer this alumni magazine welcome to our alumni networks -- both CONTENTS near and far. On Air As a long term resident of Hong Kong, I have witnessed the many areas where ESF alumni have contributed and Michael Lipin enriched the vibrancy of our city, through Island School commerce, the arts, legal systems and social services. In this edition, we highlight four such individuals from the media field, who represent the inspiring educational ethos experienced by many who come through ESF. As you read through the experiences of Michael, Ernest, Rani and 04 Nicole, they have in common the sense of tenacity and resilience, while working towards their dreams. All of them found the springboard for those dreams at ESF, with each providing the space for exploration and On The Beat development of personal interests, nurtured with rigorous academics. Living in Hong Kong, one will connect invariably with someone who Ernest Kao has attended an ESF school, or who is connected to ESF as a parent or South Island School staff member. Such a connection was one of the reasons my husband and I selected the ESF system.

  • Global Cities, Local Knowledge
    Formatting and Change in East Asian Television Industries: Media Globalization and Regional Dynamics Lim, Wei Ling Tania Patricia BSocSc (Hons), MSc (Media & Comms) Creative Industries Research and Applications Centre Queensland University of Technology Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2005 Keywords Circuit of cultural production, East Asian popular culture, Television industries, Field of broadcasting, Formatting, Local knowledge, Media capitals, Neo-networks, Regional dynamics, TV Formats, martial arts dramas, teenage idol soap operas, game-shows. ii Abstract Television is increasingly both global and local. Those television industries discussed in this thesis transact in an extensive neo-network of flows in talents, financing, and the latest forms of popular culture. These cities attempt to become media capitals but their status waxes and wanes, depending on their success in exporting their Asian media productions. What do marital arts dramas, interactive game-shows, children’s animation and teenage idol soap operas from East Asian television industries have in common? Through the systematic use of TV formatting strategies, these television genres have become the focus for indigenous cultural entrepreneurs located in the East Asian cities of Hong Kong, Singapore and Taipei to turn their local TV programmes into tradable culture. This thesis is a re-consideration of the impact of media globalisation on Asian television that re-imagines a new global media order. It suggests that there is a growing shift in perception and trade among once-peripheral television industries that they may be slowly de-centring Hollywood’s dominance by inserting East Asian popular entertainment into familiar formats or cultural spaces through embracing global yet local cultures of production.

  • Transnational Urban Redevelopment of the Post-Colonial Hong Kong
    CARESCAPES: TRANSNATIONAL URBAN REDEVELOPMENT OF THE POST-COLONIAL HONG KONG Shu-Mei Huang A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2012 Reading Committee: Robert Mugeraurer, Chair Victoria Lawson Jeffery Hou Manish Chalana Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Built Environment ©Copyright 2012 Shu-Mei Huang University of Washington Abstract CARESCAPES: TRANSNATIONAL URBAN REDEVELOPMENT OF THE POST- COLONIAL HONG KONG Shu-Mei Huang Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Robert Mugerauer Director, PhD Program in the Built Environment, University of Washington Professor at Urban Design and Planning, College of Built Environments Drawing upon the massive redevelopment catalyzed by the government-led urban renewal in Hong Kong in the past two decades, this research pays attention to how biased normalization of care and dependency contributes to a neoliberal regime of urban redevelopment that dictates more than 200 urban renewal projects. It examines the ways in which the regime reconfigures the daily existence of urban citizens, and moreover, the intense competition among Pearl River Delta (PRD) cities. Taking a transnational perspective from below, it reveals how the denial has affected a particular population on the move and more importantly, unsettled the civil society. By theorizing “carescapes” as a heuristic device, it trace the ways in which the transnational circulation of rent/capital travels across borders at the cost of care and needs. It illuminates the multiple displacements of care: the displacement of reproductive space and nested dependency relations; the displacement of urban residents to make room for the elite visitors; the displacement of citizens on a transnational scale, including both the underprivileged migrants and the elite expatriates who struggle to stay put in the liquid labor market.
