Icons, Culture and Collective Identity of Postwar Hong Kong
Intercultural Communication Studies XXII: 1 (2013) R. MAK & C. CHAN Icons, Culture and Collective Identity of Postwar Hong Kong Ricardo K. S. MAK & Catherine S. CHAN Hong Kong Baptist University, Hong Kong S.A.R., China Abstract: Icons, which take the form of images, artifacts, landmarks, or fictional figures, represent mounds of meaning stuck in the collective unconsciousness of different communities. Icons are shortcuts to values, identity or feelings that their users collectively share and treasure. Through the concrete identification and analysis of icons of post-war Hong Kong, this paper attempts to highlight not only Hong Kong people’s changing collective needs and mental or material hunger, but also their continuous search for identity. Keywords: Icons, Hong Kong, Hong Kong Chinese, 1997, values, identity, lifestyle, business, popular culture, fusion, hybridity, colonialism, economic takeoff, consumerism, show business 1. Introduction: Telling Hong Kong’s Story through Icons It seems easy to tell the story of post-war Hong Kong. If merely delineating the sky-high synopsis of the city, the ups and downs, high highs and low lows are at once evidently remarkable: a collective struggle for survival in the post-war years, tremendous social instability in the 1960s, industrial take-off in the 1970s, a growth in economic confidence and cultural arrogance in the 1980s and a rich cultural upheaval in search of locality before the handover. The early 21st century might as well sum up the development of Hong Kong, whose history is long yet surprisingly short- propelled by capitalism, gnawing away at globalization and living off its elastic schizophrenia. -
Modern Hong Kong
Modern Hong Kong Oxford Research Encyclopedia of Asian History Modern Hong Kong Steve Tsang Subject: China, Hong Kong, Macao, and/or Taiwan Online Publication Date: Feb 2017 DOI: 10.1093/acrefore/9780190277727.013.280 Abstract and Keywords Hong Kong entered its modern era when it became a British overseas territory in 1841. In its early years as a Crown Colony, it suffered from corruption and racial segregation but grew rapidly as a free port that supported trade with China. It took about two decades before Hong Kong established a genuinely independent judiciary and introduced the Cadet Scheme to select and train senior officials, which dramatically improved the quality of governance. Until the Pacific War (1941–1945), the colonial government focused its attention and resources on the small expatriate community and largely left the overwhelming majority of the population, the Chinese community, to manage themselves, through voluntary organizations such as the Tung Wah Group of Hospitals. The 1940s was a watershed decade in Hong Kong’s history. The fall of Hong Kong and other European colonies to the Japanese at the start of the Pacific War shattered the myth of the superiority of white men and the invincibility of the British Empire. When the war ended the British realized that they could not restore the status quo ante. They thus put an end to racial segregation, removed the glass ceiling that prevented a Chinese person from becoming a Cadet or Administrative Officer or rising to become the Senior Member of the Legislative or the Executive Council, and looked into the possibility of introducing municipal self-government. -
The Globalization of Chinese Food ANTHROPOLOGY of ASIA SERIES Series Editor: Grant Evans, University Ofhong Kong
The Globalization of Chinese Food ANTHROPOLOGY OF ASIA SERIES Series Editor: Grant Evans, University ofHong Kong Asia today is one ofthe most dynamic regions ofthe world. The previously predominant image of 'timeless peasants' has given way to the image of fast-paced business people, mass consumerism and high-rise urban conglomerations. Yet much discourse remains entrenched in the polarities of 'East vs. West', 'Tradition vs. Change'. This series hopes to provide a forum for anthropological studies which break with such polarities. It will publish titles dealing with cosmopolitanism, cultural identity, representa tions, arts and performance. The complexities of urban Asia, its elites, its political rituals, and its families will also be explored.

The Recovery of Hong Kong by the People's Republic of China-A Fifty Year Experiment in Capitalism and Freedom
Day: The Recovery of Hong Kong THE RECOVERY OF HONG KONG BY THE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CHINA-A FIFTY YEAR EXPERIMENT IN CAPITALISM AND FREEDOM Christian C. Day* I. INTRODUCTION The People's Republic of China (PRC) has the opportunity to fashion a novel relationship with the capitalistic city-state of Hong Kong. This opportunity has arisen out of the September 26, 1984 Joint Declaration of the Government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (UK) and the Government of the People's Republic of China on the Question of Hong Kong.1 This Joint Declaration, issued with three integrated annexes, and an Ex change of Memoranda, comprises the text of the "agreement" be tween the UK and the PRC on the future of the current British Colony.2 The UK-PRC agreement, which was signed in Peking on December 19, 1984,3 is an unprecedented solution to the PRC's * Associate Professor of Law, Syracuse University College of Law; A.B.

Get your free copy here. The principle of “one country, two systems” is in grave political danger. According to the Joint Declaration on the Question of Hong Kong signed in 1984, and as later specified in Article 5 of the Basic Law, i.e. the mini-constitution of Hong Kong, the capitalist system and way of life in Hong Kong should remain unchanged for 50 years. This promise not only settled the doubts of the Hong Kong people in the 1980s, but also resolved the confidence crisis of the international community due to the differences in the political and economic systems between Hong Kong and the People’s Republic of China (PRC). As stated in the record of a meeting between Thatcher and Deng in 1982, the Prime Minister regarded the question of Hong Kong as an ‘immediate issue’ as ‘money and skill would immediately begin to leave’ if such political differences were not addressed (Margaret Thatcher Foundation 1982). -

Native History and Nation Building on Personal Online Platform: Implications in Hong Kong Context
Article Native History and Nation Building on Personal Online Platform: Implications in Hong Kong Context Simin Li Department of Political Science, University of Victoria, PO Box 2100, Victoria, BC STN CSC, Canada; [email protected] Received: 31 December 2018; Accepted: 13 February 2019; Published: 16 February 2019 Abstract: Nationalism in the era of social media is more complex and presents new opportunities and challenges in different levels and contexts. Therefore, the paper hopes to contribute to understanding the roles of social media in identity presentation and formation in a transition society. Writing on Facebook is a civil practice. Thus, it chooses a typical and clear-cut Facebook fan page “Hong Kong National History” run by a nationalist and followed by over 5700 fans as a case study. Posts of the fan page are collected from 1 April to 31 December in 2017, and it analyzes the contents and forms of posts with content analysis. Then, the self-made digital publication “Hong Kong People’s History of the Thousand Years” attached to the fan page is analyzed with narrative analysis. Through the personal systematic discourses, this paper presents a special mode of user-generated content online and a civic Hong Kong story. Keywords: Facebook; localism; Hong Kong 1. Introduction The relationships between media and nationalism are close. Print media help to evoke national consciousness by forming mass readership in a common language (Anderson 2006). Through creating new texts, media develop, record, disseminate, and adapt nationalism (Adria 2009, p. 9). When nationalism becomes a dominant political ideology, it also influences media content (Demertzis et al. -

For further information contact the UOW Library: [email protected] Searching the Academy (Soushuyuan搜書院): A Chinese Opera as Rule of Law and Legal Narrative Abstract In earlier scholarship on traditional societies that became colonised, relations between imported legal systems and indigenous customs that had long operated with quasi-legal effect are often studied in terms of conflict and opposition, to show how western or European institutions progressively displaced what existed before their arrival. In her more recent studies of legal pluralism, however, Lauren Benton argues persuasively from many historical examples and cases that indigenous culture and contingent historical situations are major forces that mediate legal development and change. Though acknowledging her debt to Homi Bhabha’s theorising of hybridised subjects and their disruptions of asymmetrical colonial relations, Benton nonetheless critiques Bhabha’s assumption of ‘a preexisting and relatively constant cultural divide’ (Benton and Muth 2000). -
El Futuro De Hong Kong a Partir De 2047

EL FUTURO DE HONG KONG A PARTIR DE 2047 One Country, Two Systems? The Future of Hong Kong from 2047 Itziar Damborenea Trigueros Alumni Universidad Pontificia Comillas - ICADE Autora Email: [email protected] El presente artículo analiza los factores que caracterizan las relaciones sino-hongkonesas con el objetivo de analizar el futuro del régimen One Country, Two Systems desde un punto de vista del Resumen derecho constitucional. Las fuertes manifestaciones acontecidas en el año 2019, así como las últimas acciones impulsadas por el Gobierno de Pekín, como la aprobación de la ley de seguridad nacional, constituyen una señal inequívoca de la tensión experimentada en la región ante el futuro incierto del régimen de Hong Kong, que parece estar limitado por el artículo 5 de su Ley Fundamental hasta el 30 de junio de 2047. Ante esta incertidumbre, esta investigación valora tres posibles escenarios de futuro: Hong Kong pasa a formar parte de China continental, acontece una transición democrática en la región o el régimen One Country, Two Systems perdura en el tiempo. This article analyses from a Constitutional Law point of view, the factors that characterize Sino- Hongkonese relations with the aim of analysing the future of the One Country, Two Systems regime. Abstract The strong protests that took place in 2019 and the latest actions taken by the Beijing government, such as the approval of the national security law, constitute a clear sign of the tension experienced in the region in view of the uncertain future of the Hong Kong regime, which appears to be limited by Article 5 of its Basic Law to the 30th of June of 2047.
