  • Choice of Foreign Names As a Strategy for Identity Management
    Intercultural Communication Studies XVII: 2 2008 Cheang Choice of Foreign Names as a Strategy for Identity Management Justina Cheang, University of Macau Regardless of the fact that Macau’s dominating population are Chinese, English names, or to be more exact, foreign names, are favored and widely used, be it in the businesses, the government, or education institutions. Though Chinese (Cantonese) is spoken by most in the city, local Chinese people’s favor in the use of English/foreign names, whether they are students, civil servants, or working in the business, does reflect their taste and their desired image to be displayed to others. Interviews are conducted showing that people’s choice of English/foreign names are somehow a strategy for identity management – certain names are chosen to show a pleasant personality, or other desirable qualities that they wanted to project to others. It is interesting to note that, other than English names, people would choose Portuguese names, Japanese names, names of things (non-proper names), or even people’s own creation for use. A Chinese saying: “One does not fear if he/she has a bad fate; what one fears most is to be given a bad name.” Rather than a Chinese saying, this should also be a universal consideration when most parents all over the world are finding names for their children. Most people get their names when they are born, and very often they themselves are not involved in the decision-making. What if we get a chance to decide on our own name? To get a name by oneself is probably a very unique trend in Asia, and especially, the Chinese communities.

  • Projective Assessment of Body Image Among Young Chinese in Hong Kong
    Intercultural Communication Studies XXIII: 3 (2014) LEUNG Projective Assessment of Body Image among Young Chinese in Hong Kong Vivienne LEUNG Hong Kong Baptist University, Hong Kong S.A.R., China Abstract: This study posits that the inner vision of self and body image can be explored via projective assessment, as human beings do not learn through rational cognitive processes alone. The study’s aim is to reveal intrapersonal and spontaneous self and body conceptions. Both the rational and unconscious minds are believed to contribute to total body image. A role-play cloning exercise, in which participants were asked to act as if they had to clone a person and to draw their ideal self in a focus group setting, was carried out to reveal individuals’ subliminal and idealized body images. Participants were asked to create a clone with their desired body image based on their initial spontaneous instinct. The results show that although the idealized thin body images conveyed by the media do lead to perceived body image discrepancies, individuals do not necessarily compare themselves upwardly with an exemplar, as previous studies have suggested they do. Intriguingly, idealized body images were found to adhere closely to individuals’ real selves. This research constitutes the first use of a projective role-play cloning exercise to explore unconscious body perceptions in the body image arena. Keywords: Projective measurement, body image, role-play cloning, Chinese young people, media influence, unconsciousness. 1. Introduction In the realm of body image, media always project an unapproachable thin-idealized image that it is difficult, if not unhealthy, for average people to achieve.

    THE GREATEST CANTOPOP SONGS OF ALL TIME! Forty years ago, Hong Kong saw the birth of Cantopop, a style of music which would become one of the city’s most iconic cultural offerings. To mark its 40th anniversary, Arthur Tam looks back over the history of the equally loved and derided genre – and explores its evolution and importance through its most beloved songs, one year at a time… 30 timeout.com.hk The early years The Fatal Irony <<啼笑姻緣>> Sandra Lang (仙杜拉) In 1974, during the boom of HK media, 1975 a theme song to a popular drama, << The Fatal Irony <<啼笑姻緣>>, would change everything.

Distinction in China—the rise of taste in cultural consumption 3 Abstract This research studies how cultural consumption draws cultural distinctions in the most developed megacities in China. This research examines the pattern of music consumption to examine distinction—which types of music are used, how they are used, who are using them, and what are the sources of those tastes. Although some theories, such as the cultural omnivore account, contend that the rise of contemporary pop culture implies a more open-minded pursuit of taste, this research argues that popular culture draws distinction in new ways.
