La traversata inizia a bordo dello Star Ferry, un traghetto dall’aspetto retrò che fa la spola fra Central e la punta della penisola di Kowloon: siamo a Hong Kong, una delle città più emblematiche dell’epoca in cui la Cina intende riprendere il suo antico ruolo di superpotenza. A che costo? Ilaria Maria Sala, nell’anno che segna il venticinquesimo anniversario del passaggio di Hong Kong dal controllo britannico a quello cinese, ricostruisce la topografia di una città simbolo, rivelandone la storia cosmopolita e ibrida attraverso le storie delle persone che la abitano. Nella distribuzione delle strade, delle vie d’acqua e delle celebri architetture, Sala ci fornisce una personale chiave di lettura dell’imporsi dell’autorità cinese, a partire dalla repressione violenta delle proteste di massa in seguito all’instaurarsi della Legge sulla sicurezza nazionale, fino al silenzio della pandemia..

This book borrows the concept of “high-definition” from digital broadcasting to highlight our unique approach to Hong Kong society, which gives a sharper image than analyses. It intends to highlight contrasts with many common and taken-for-granted stories, myths and representations of Hong Kong— which often presented with a low level of detail, lacking proper connections between grounded personal experiences and the macro social context. With chapters covering various salient dimensions of Hong Kong’s society, including migration, economy, inequality, identity and social movements, our “high-definition” approach presents images with high enough “resolution” to match multiple layers of experiences from walks of life of Hong Kong people, contributing to an understanding of how global transformation impacts local people’s experiences, as well as Hong Kong’s significance in the regional and global system.
