Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
The seminar aims at studying the Hong Kong urban cultures. The city of Hong Kong stages its own episodes of urban dramas: as the globalized city which embodies the globe in vertical sense; as the city of embodiment and yet resistance since the colonial era; as a city on the one hand deeply enrooted with patriarchal influences - yet on the other hand torn by the ideals of equalities and democracy since the colonial era. Through lenses of major themes, namely living, eating, loving, protesting and dying, in this seminar, we try to depict some of the many versions of urban Hong Kong. We will investigate spatial prototypes such as skyscrapers, public toilets, tea cafes, prominent public spaces in the Central areas, funeral homes and graveyards to narrate stories of the Hong Kong people. These stories are both reasons and results which continuously entangle and weave the conceptual and physical fabrics of Hong Kong. We will enter various fields of study such as urban studies, anthropology, cultural and social sciences to adopt the essential methods to observe, depict and understand – if impossibly a full picture of the Hong Kong culture – at least some facets of Hong Kong cultures.
