講座摘要:

[僅提供英文版本] This talk first goes over the meanings of ethnic and cultural identity, and then explores ethnic and cultural identity in Hong Kong. Can a South Asian who has grown up in Hong Kong be a Hongkonger? Can an African asylum seeker be a Hongkonger? Can a mainland Chinese graduate student at CUHK be a Hongkonger? Can I be a Hongkonger? What is a Hongkonger? On the basis of extensive discussion among all present at the talk, we then analyze how ethnic and cultural identity are increasingly not given but chosen, as choices from a global cultural supermarket. What, then, does this mean for the future of Hong Kong as a global/Chinese metropolis?
