My present paper is not intended to discuss the topic of identity on the platform of politics, or the postcolonial studies such as transculturation or cultural hybridty. But instead, I am far more interested in locating such issue on the aesthetic dimension of collective memory, which is revealed in two local contemporary Hong Kong compositions. In the process of shaping and reshaping a form of＂HongKongeseness＂ in which the composers tend to create and the local listeners tend to experience, albeit transient, can appear in every nuance of the sonic metaphor embedded in the pre-existing indigenous tunes of a self-contained compositional work.展开更多

Using the example of Macanese food in Macao Special Administrative Region, this article discusses the transformation of Macanese food from everyday home food to the current status of cuisine in present-day Macanese society through the analysis of the perception of consumers and producers of Macanese food. The findings demonstrate the friction between Macanese food crafted by Macanese as part of an emergent ＂authentic＂ marker of Macanese identity and the commercial branding of Macanese food for tourist purposes.展开更多

It is necessary to build and shape the mode of cultural identity in response to the pressure of rightness, creating ＂the identity of hybridity＂ by negotiating the classic tradition with the socialist tradition and a partial western tradition. By observing ＂the Deng- Hui frameworks＂ （the frameworks formulated by Deng Zheng-lai, Wang Hui, Deng Xiao-mang and Qin Hui）, we should neither blindly return to the classic tradition nor uncritically resort to the Western resources in our attempt at rebuilding cultural identity; instead, one mode of a ＂New Civilization＂ might arise in the sense of what Liang Qi-chao regards as cutting across both China and the West.展开更多
