초록
Hong Kong is undergoing a drastic cultural-political transformation in which moments of people’s protests of the ruling regime are re- articulated in the history of the post-colony. As resistance against statist re-inscription takes place on the streets and amid institutional transformations, “Hong Kongers” fight for freedom and stand up in massive movements against identity encroachment by the power bloc. Struggling to belong among a desirable community, they stand by their lived imagination for the collective shaken by disjointed modes of subject formation. This paper probes the complex historical issues of belonging and exclusion in the context of contemporary ideological and ethnic contestations. As the eclectic politics of affect permeates ethnicity amid deep-rooted contradictions, subjectivity takes shape on the fractured landscape of postcolonial nationhood—with Hong Kong becoming Chinese. This aberrant formation displaces a trajectory of the “Hong Kong local” with identity traces ostensibly mapped vis-a-vis the national- global regime under transnational capitalism.
Abstract
Hong Kong is undergoing a drastic cultural-political transformation in which moments of people’s protests of the ruling regime are re- articulated in the history of the post-colony. As resistance against statist re-inscription takes place on the streets and amid institutional transformations, “Hong Kongers” fight for freedom and stand up in massive movements against identity encroachment by the power bloc. Struggling to belong among a desirable community, they stand by their lived imagination for the collective shaken by disjointed modes of subject formation. This paper probes the complex historical issues of belonging and exclusion in the context of contemporary ideological and ethnic contestations. As the eclectic politics of affect permeates ethnicity amid deep-rooted contradictions, subjectivity takes shape on the fractured landscape of postcolonial nationhood—with Hong Kong becoming Chinese. This aberrant formation displaces a trajectory of the “Hong Kong local” with identity traces ostensibly mapped vis-a-vis the national- global regime under transnational capitalism.
