CULS 5224Discourse on Hong Kong, Hong Kong Discourse話說香港，香港話說

This course examines various HK discourses proliferated in HK, especially in the post-1997 context, bridging together history, images & metaphors, and cultural phenomena. Not just viewing HK by itself, but also treat her as a node or focal point by which other ties or geopolitics will be explored too. Equipped with some theory and concepts, we will cover some key readings by some scholars in the field.

Topis include but not limited to:Post-colonial discourse: In-betweenness夾縫論, Marginality邊緣性, Hybridity混雜性

Translocal, transborder, inter-cities跨本土、跨邊界、城際

China factor (national identity)

Localism(s)本土論述

Generation世代論

Cosmopolitanism世界主義

New Social Movement, e.g. issues concerning space and conservation

⚫過去八年（二〇一一年–二〇一九年）在香港中文大學教授香港社會與政治，在課堂內外見證香港風雲色變。

⚫學生大多來自中國大陸和世界各地，上課前通常對香港各種困局背後的原因所知甚少。

⚫年復一年在驟變中向背景各異的學生解釋「什麼是香港」，發現儘管社會論爭不休，然而無論是外來者或是本地人也不見得很清楚自己在吵什麼。

⚫希望本書的出版，能助於釐清基礎事實，讓多方的討論更能聚焦。
