  • 立法會cb(1)778/16-17(02)號文件
    立法會CB(1)778/16-17(02)號文件 《古物及古蹟(暫定古蹟的宣布)(紅樓)公告》小組委員會 議員在 2017 年 3 月 31 日會議要求提供的資料 (1) 古物諮詢委員會(下稱「古諮會」)在 1981 年將紅樓評為 一級歷史建築的評估，以及古諮會及後檢視評級的相關 文件 古物諮詢委員會(下稱「古諮會」)先後在 1981 年、1985 年、1995 年、2009 年和 2011 年考慮紅樓的文物價值。古諮會 自 2005 年 9 月起，開放例會讓市民列席旁聽，並把公開會議 的討論文件和會議記錄上載古諮會網頁。由於在古諮會公開會 議前(即 2005 年 9 月前)的討論文件和會議記錄屬內部限閱文件， 因此只提供有關會議的摘要如下。 2. 古諮會自 1980 年起採用歷史建築評級制度：一級歷史 建築指具特別重要價值的建築物；二級歷史建築指具特別價值 的建築物；以及三級歷史建築指具若干價值的建築物。紅樓當 時被納入中式建築的名單內，其暫定評級為二級歷史建築。 3. 古諮會在 1981 年 1 月 13 日舉行的第 22 次會議上指出 紅樓的建築特色屬西式建築，並且認為應把紅樓評為一級歷史 建築。古諮會在 1981 年 3 月 31 日舉行的第 23 次會議上考慮 應否建議向古物事務監督根據《古物及古蹟條例》第 3(1)條把 紅樓宣布為法定古蹟。委員不支持宣布紅樓為法定古蹟，認為 紅樓與孫中山先生沒有直接關係。 4. 古諮會在 1985 年 4 月 30 日舉行的第 43 次會議上檢視 已評為一級歷史建築的情況。委員當時維持紅樓一級歷史建築 的級別。古諮會沒有建議把紅樓列為法定古蹟。 5. 古諮會在 1995 年 2 月 28 日舉行的第 85 次會議上檢視 古諮會早前給予紅樓的評級。當時對紅樓的文物價值的分析與 載於立法會參考資料摘要(檔號：DEVB/CHO/1B/CR/14/39)附件 B 的類同，包括難以考實紅樓的建築年份、未能確定紅樓與孫中 山先生領導的革命活動是否直接有關等。委員考慮到紅樓具備 1 1920 及 1930 年代建築物的特點；而現有紅樓與 1900-1905 年 測繪圖對照之下，其位置及形制並不相同。委員認為紅樓最早 不會建於 1920 年代之前，因此坊間流傳紅樓這幢建築本身(相 對青山農場整體而言)與革命活動直接有關的說法，未必屬實。 委員沒有調整古諮會早前對紅樓的評級。 6. 自 2005年，以下六項準則，即歷史價值、建築價值、組 合價值、社會價值和地區價值、保持原貌程度以及罕有程度， 一直被用作評估歷史建築的文物價值。古諮會對上一次覆檢紅 樓的評級，是在按上述評審準則為1 444幢歷史建築(包括紅樓) 評級時一併進行。當時已全面考慮所有研究所得有關紅樓的資 料，以及在公眾諮詢期間收到的意見及補充資料。在2009年 12 月 18日舉行的第141次會議上，古諮會參考獨立的歷史建築評 審小組的評審結果、根據六項評審準則對紅樓文物價值所得的 評估報告，並考慮集體回憶這個重要因素後，確認維持紅樓一 級歷史建築的級別。根據慣常做法，評估報告已上載古諮會網 頁。 7. 在 2011年 6月 15日舉行的第154次會議，古諮會應個別委 員提出審議把紅樓列為法定古蹟的建議。當時古諮會認為，鑑 於不能確定紅樓是否建於辛亥革命之前，因此紅樓與辛亥革命 相關的程度亦難以確定，除非有新證據證明紅樓與革命活動直 接有關，否則暫時不會考慮宣布紅樓為法定古蹟。 8. 按現行準則(即上文第 6 段提及的六項準則)以評審紅樓 文物價值的報告，請參閱立法會參考資料摘要( 檔號： DEVB/CHO/1B/CR/14/39)的附件 B。古諮會在 2009 年 12 月 18 日 舉行的第 141 次會議涉及紅樓的討論文件及會議記錄載於附 件 I，而 2011 年 6 月 15 日舉行的第 154 次會議涉及紅樓的會 議記錄載於附件 II。 (2) 就紅樓進行獨立評估 9. 按照現行制度，古諮會在參考獨立歷史建築評審小組就 個別建築物作出的文物價值評估，以及在公眾諮詢期間接獲市 民及相關建築物業主的意見及補充資料後，把個別歷史建築評 定為一級、二級、三級(或不予級別)。 2 10.

  • Gender As Spatial Identity Gender Strategizing in Postcolonial and Neocolonial Hong Kong
    020 Gender as Spatial Identity Gender strategizing in postcolonial and neocolonial Hong Kong Leon Buker Gerhard Bruyns A photo essay exploring the how gender identity is 100—119 deliberately constructed through social positioning within the urban landscape of Hong Kong. Hong Kong has always had a binary identity, which continues through from the postcolonial to the neocolonial. This creates layers of additional complexity around gender identity, which is explored in terms of performativity and authenticity through both the heterosexual fluidity of foreign domestic workers and through homosexual tactics of local men, within a public park in Hong Kong. By rejecting the past through a politics of disappearance, previous boundaries around fluidity, repression, and suppression continue to influence the present in a volatile neocolonial context opening questions around what is an authentic performance of self. #hong kong #postcolonial #neocolonial #performativity #authenticity Leon Buker & Gerhard Bruyns .

In general, the city park is not gender identity is constructed as deliberate conceived as belonging to either gender, although instances of spatial positioning in the dense urban it could be postulated that as a relatively inclusive landscape of Hong Kong.
