This study examines Yesi's Cities of Memory, Cities of Fabrication to better understand how Hong Kong memory and identity are expressed in literary writing. The study addresses the difficulties of intercultural interactions, in which conflict and integration affect perceptions of identity in a hybrid society. A major emphasis is placed on the transition from “communicative memory” to “cultural memory”, which reorganizes and gives collective recall new meaning in cross-cultural contexts. Furthermore, Yesi's literature negotiates the position of the colonized by addressing issues of voice and representation connected with the “Third World”, redefining identity within a postcolonial context. When taken together, these characteristics show how memory, culture, and identity connect in Yesi's work, providing vital insight into Hong Kong literature and its broader cultural implications. As an author raised within a postcolonial framework, Yesi actively engages with Western urban cultural paradigms. Through the analytical lens of the Other, he articulates Hong Kong’s identity as a peripheral metropolis with a distinctive perspective. This sustained process of cultural observation enables Yesi to critically examine Hong Kong’s liminal geopolitical status. His narrative oeuvre embodies a reflexive consciousness of marginality, not rooted in uncritical admiration of Western paradigms, but rather in an effort to preserve collective memory and individual subjectivity through engagement with the Other.
Abstract
This study examines Yesi's Cities of Memory, Cities of Fabrication to better understand how Hong Kong memory and identity are expressed in literary writing. The study addresses the difficulties of intercultural interactions, in which conflict and integration affect perceptions of identity in a hybrid society. A major emphasis is placed on the transition from “communicative memory” to “cultural memory”, which reorganizes and gives collective recall new meaning in cross-cultural contexts. Furthermore, Yesi's literature negotiates the position of the colonized by addressing issues of voice and representation connected with the “Third World”, redefining identity within a postcolonial context. When taken together, these characteristics show how memory, culture, and identity connect in Yesi's work, providing vital insight into Hong Kong literature and its broader cultural implications. As an author raised within a postcolonial framework, Yesi actively engages with Western urban cultural paradigms. Through the analytical lens of the Other, he articulates Hong Kong’s identity as a peripheral metropolis with a distinctive perspective. This sustained process of cultural observation enables Yesi to critically examine Hong Kong’s liminal geopolitical status.
