  • ANTH2720 Archaeology of Hong Kong (2019-20)
    ANTH2720 Archaeology of Hong Kong (2019-20) Teacher: Dr Mick Atha Office: NAH 411 Humanities Building, New Asia College. Email: [email protected] Teaching Assistant: Nie Youping Email: TBA Lecture time: Tuesday 1:30-3:15 pm, Room NAH 11 Tutorial time: Tuesday 4:30-5:15pm, Room MMW 706 Course description One could be forgiven for thinking that little of archaeological interest survives in Hong Kong’s built-up and densely populated environment. But that could not be further from the truth. Contrary to the politically-motivated myth of ‘a barren rock’ as portrayed by the British in the 19th century, Hong Kong actually has a rich archaeological heritage spanning 6,000-7,000 years of human history. Who were the earliest inhabitants, where were they from, and what brought them to Hong Kong? This course reviews major archaeological discoveries in Hong Kong from the 1920s to the present, examines cultural developments from the Neolithic to the Qing Dynasty, and discusses the material culture, economies, social structures and (as far as is possible) the belief systems of Hong Kong’s ancient peoples. The course will also compare and contrast the evidence for prehistoric and historical cultural developments in Hong Kong with those occurring in South China and the wider Southeast Asian region. The significance of Hong Kong archaeology in the contexts of prehistoric and historical South China and Southeast Asia will also be evaluated. In addition, there will be an exploration of the tensions and potentials existing in Hong Kong between its development-driven economy and rich archaeological resource, as played out in the field of impact assessment archaeology.

    History Museums as Tourist Attractions: A Comparison of Hong Kong and Macau CHAN, Yee On Christine A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Philosophy In Anthropology February 2009 Abstract of thesis entitled: History Museums as Tourist Attractions: A Comparison of Hong Kong and Macau Submitted by CHAN Yee On Christine for the degree of Master of Philosophy in Anthropology at The Chinese University of Hong Kong in February 2009 Abstract Within the changing economic and social conditions in today's world, should museums play a more important role to attract more tourists? This thesis investigates the factors which may influence the possibility of a history museum to become a tourist attraction, and factors which may shape the decision making process of tourists to include history museums in their itineraries, through a comparative study between the two history museums in Hong Kong and Macau. Based on data collected by observation and in-depth interviews, this thesis investigate the importance of historical and cultural context of the destination, the content of the exhibition and personal background in determining the potential of history museums to become tourist attractions, government policies in the two cities, as well as the managerial strategies of the two museums. This study illustrates that different cultural contexts in different cities, including the economic structures, the importance and the content of tourism, as well as government's policies on the mission of history museums, all play vital roles on whether history museums can attract more tourists. While a city with better preserved cultural heritage provides a tangible setting for the construction of the city's "historical" image, thus cultivating tourists' interests to history museums, government's vision and policy of cities are also vital in nourishing the potential of history museums to become tourist attraction.

  • Politics of Memories: Identity Construction in Museums
    Politics of memories: Identity construction in museums Dr. Carol X. Zhang * Portsmouth Business School University of Portsmouth Richmond Building, Portland Street Portsmouth, PO1 3DE UK [email protected] T: +44(0)2392844201 Prof. Nigel Morgan School of Management University of Swansea Swansea, UK [email protected] Dr. Honggen Xiao School of Hotel and Tourism Management The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Hong Kong, China [email protected] Dr. Tuan Phong Ly Institute for Tourism Studies Macao, China [email protected] *Corresponding Author 1 | P a g e Politics of Memories: Identity Construction in Museums Abstract: This paper adopts collective memory theory to reveal processes through which heritage tourism stakeholders (re)construct contested national identity. Theoretically sensitised to identity crisis, the study analyses how Hong Kong and Macao heritage managers utilise complex transnational memories to (re)construct an identity aligned with, yet distinct from, that of China. Through a critical discourse analysis of interviews and discursive exhibition and museum texts, the article reveals that museum managers formulate heritage imaginings and a sense of belonging(s) through defining the collective memory for “Self” and “Other”. The article concludes that, by collective memory-building, museum professionals make tangible statements of national identities through legitimating negotiations and resistance in heritage tourism discourse. Implications for heritage tourism studies and museum management are also discussed. Keywords: Heritage tourism, transnational collective memory, national identity, China, postcolonial representation 2 | P a g e INTRODUCTION Heritage production, (re)presentation and consumption are closely connected to place promotion power relations, whilst identity (re)construction is often seen as a negotiation between dynamic and contested heritage discourses (d’Hauteserre, 2011; Light, 2001; Morgan, 2004; Morgan & Pritchard, 1998; Zhang, L’Espoir Decosta & McKercher, 2015).

    History Comes Alive in Hong Kong | Wandering Educators Tuesday 15 May 2018 A Travel Library for People Curious About the World You are here: Home Best Of History Comes Alive in Hong Kong by Sandy Bornstein / May 04, 2018 / A two-day trip to a mega city, with a preponderance of excellent attractions, can be overwhelming. With jet lag slowing my pace, coupled with intermittent rain dissuading outdoor activities, I set aside one day to learn about Hong Kong’s history. The best place to begin my adventure was at the Hong Kong Museum of History. This museum was established in 1975 “to preserve and promote the historical and cultural heritage of Hong Kong.” HONG KONG MUSEUM OF HISTORY The focal point of this institution is the permanent exhibit—The Hong Kong Story. It includes eight galleries and over 4,000 exhibits incorporating 50 multimedia programs. Each gallery explores the historical period using authentic materials as well as video presentations that provide a narrative of key points. The ten videos range from four to eleven minutes in duration This historical journey begins with the Devonian Period, 400 million years ago, and ends in 1997 with the return of Hong Kong’s sovereignty to China. By using just a little bit of one’s imagination, visitors can easily go back in time as they visit each gallery. The signs have English translations and the videos can be watched in Cantonese, Putonghua, or English. When I visited, the permanent exhibit was free. The Natural Environment https://www.wanderingeducators.com/best/traveling/history-comes-alive-hong-kong[5/15/18, 5:12:45 PM] History Comes Alive in Hong Kong | Wandering Educators This first gallery showcases landforms, climate, flora, and fauna.
