Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

Despite China’s rising global and economic significance, Hongkongers did not seem to be wholeheartedly convinced by the former’s ‘one country, two systems’ formula. A British colony from 1841 until 1997, the Anti-extradition Law Amendment Bill Movement in 2019 has evolved into a permanent state of political turmoil calling for ‘Liberate Hong Kong, Revolution of our Time’. It brought the once (seemingly) politically-disengaged population onto the streets, singing their newly composed ‘Hong Kong Anthem’ in rage. Prominent symbols of British colonialism—such as Union Jacks and even Old Glorys—flutter in demonstrations in Hong Kong and were paired with a resurgence of petitions to the British Consulate for granting Hongkongers right of abode in Britain.
In this seminar, through investigating Hong Kong in the areas relating to its recent colonial history, we scrutinise Hong Kong people’s sentiments towards their ‘foreign’ colonisers: Britain, and now to China. How did the colonial past shape its present? How has the notion of colonialism been reified in the city, in various forms of control, on the subalterns’ body and mind, in the shape of language policies, history education, public space, architecture and culture? Has the end of ‘colonisation’ actually ceased the various forms of oppressions to the people in Hong Kong?
