  • How Hong Kong Disneyland (Controversially) Indigenizes Space, Labor, and Consumption
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA RIVERSIDE Hong Kong Dreams and Disney Fantasies: How Hong Kong Disneyland (Controversially) Indigenizes Space, Labor, and Consumption A Dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Anthropology by Jenny Banh March 2014 Dissertation Committee: Dr. Yolanda T. Moses, Chairperson Dr. Christina Schwenkel Dr. Lynda S. Bell Dr. Thomas C. Patterson Copyright by Jenny Banh 2014 The Dissertation of Jenny Banh is approved: Committee Chairperson University of California, Riverside ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank those Hong Kong residents who took time out of their busy schedules to be interviewed. They were truly kind and often further recommended more people to interview. During my time in the field I taught literature, journalism, and SATs to HK students and their kindness was a hug whenever I needed it. They taught me as a lot about the liminality of Hong Kong culture. My dissertation committee of Yolanda Moses, Christine Schwenkel, Tracy Fisher, Michael Kearney, Thomas Patterson, and Lynda Bell guided me steadfastly. I would also like to acknowledge Dr. Michael Kearney who was a wonderful kind advisor and I miss him often. Lynda Bell reined me in and gave me a lot of structure, information, and guidance that I am very grateful for. Dr. Bell also made me rethink of HK history and space. Christine Schwenkel kindly challenged me and pushed me to rethink the “big picture” including theory and a priori assumption. Dr. Schwenkel made my writing more professional and theoretically sound. Tracy Fisher gave me practical time management advice. I would also like to thank Thomas Patterson who has been such a great captain of our entire anthropology department for many years.

  • Workers' View on Indigenization of Theme Park: a Case Study in Hong Kong
    Workers' View on Indigenization of Theme Park: A Case Study in Hong Kong Jenny Banh California State University, Fresno Hong Kong SAR (Special Administrative Region) of People's Republic of China government and the Disney Company entered into a joint private-public (PPP) partnership to form HKDL: Hong Kong Disneyland in 2005. In pursuit of profit HKDL tried to “indigenize” or localize to the community by using a local workforce, consumption, language, and cultural space accommodations. There is much written about indigenization but not from the worker’s perspective. Based on interview data of a small sample of Hong Kong Disneyland workers, this case study investigates the workers’ assessment of whether “indigenization” practices are successful or not. Findings show that workers are ambivalent about indigenization citing negative public relations, and adverse mainland Chinese tourist interactions. The workers feel that true indigenization is complicated by various factors such as perceptions of ethnic and national superiority complexes, ambivalence, and continuing unequal treatment. Keywords: Indigenization, Hong Kong, Theme parks, Labor, Disney Disney asked for a lot of things and used the [Hong Kong resident] taxpayer’s money to pay for them. Disney made Hong Kong pay for the entire infrastructure. Disney wanted specific trees throughout the park. They had to come from the United States or Southeast Asia, along with the soil mix they needed, which was very expensive! The taxes of Hong Kong people paid for all of that. Even though we all worked together, [US American] Disney workers gave the impression that they are superior to us [Hong Kong Disney Workers] (Emily Liu, HKDL Engineer Interview, 2011).

DISNEYLAND IN HONG KONG – GREEN CHALLENGE (A) You’ve probably heard people talk about conservation. Well, conservation isn’t just the business of a few people. It’s a matter that concerns all of us. It’s a science whose principles are written in the oldest code in the world, the laws of nature. The natural resources of our vast continent are not inexhaustible. But if we will use our riches wisely, if we will protect our wildlife and preserve our lakes and streams, these things will last us for generations to come. – Walt Disney, 1950 First announced to the public in 1997, the Disneyland theme park in Hong Kong was viewed as one of the most important government projects undertaken to boost the regional economy after the Asian financial crisis.
