HONG KONG AS FIELDSITE

Cosmopolitan and conflictual space, Hong Kong provides us with the 
perfect living stage to test and update our methods of observation. With 
its urban density, high-velocity, social heterogeneity, Hong Kong 
presents a unique blend of traditional and hyper-modern architectures. 
The specific field site will be unveiled during the second day of the 
Summer School. Our fieldwork will give rise to a variety of practices: 
ethnographic interventions, audio documentaries, visual and 
participatory experiments, etc.
