This book discusses the notion of "Hong Kong as Method" as it relates to
the rise of China in the context of Asianization. It explores new Hong
Kong imaginaries with regard to the complex relationship between the
local, the national and the global. The major theoretical thrust of the
book is to address the reconfiguration of Hong Kong's culture and
society in an age of global modernity from the standpoints of different
disciplines, exploring the possibilities of approaching Hong Kong as a
method. Through critical inquiries into different fields related to Hong
Kong's culture and society, including gender, resistance and minorities,
various perspectives on the country's culture and society can be
re-assessed. New directions and guidelines related to Hong Kong are also
presented, offering a unique resource for researchers and students in
the fields of cultural studies, media studies, postcolonial studies,
globalization and Asian studies.
