Beschreibung

This book examines Hong Kong¿s struggle against the disappearance of its unique identity under the historical challenges of colonialism, in addition to the more recent reimposition of Chinese authoritarian government control, as reflected in three under-researched forms of visual media: comics, advertising and graphic design. Each section of the book focuses on one of these three forms, and each chapter focuses on one stage of Hong Kong¿s changing cultural identity. The articulative position of this book is on studies of visual cultural history and media communication. Its case studies will broaden readers¿ own cultural knowledge for a more international understanding. The Disappearance of Hong Kong in Comics, Advertising and Graphic Design advances the development of its three key subjects in terms of identity, communication and cultural politics, aiming to reach a wide range of multidisciplinary readers.

Zusammenfassung

Analyzes the evolution of the rise and fall with a focus on cultural identity towards the latest developments in creative expression under China's promised "one country, two systems" rhetoric, and the current state of cultural identity in the context of Hong Kong's subsumption as one of China's many cities

Provides a comprehensive background for not only an understanding of Hong Kong's cultural identity through these three under-investigated media, but also a transnational understanding of Hong Kong cultural identity within the East Asian region

Utilizes Hong Kong as a case study to demonstrate the potential of these three media for a global understanding of our world visual cultures
