[Commlist] Asian Cinema 33.2 published (Special Issue: ‘Documentary and Democracy, Hong Kong’)

Intellect is pleased to announce that Asian Cinema 33.2 is out now!


Special Issue: ‘Documentary and Democracy, Hong Kong’


What is the relationship between documentary and democracy in the Hong 
Kong context? As the articles that comprise this Special Issue ofAsian 
Cinema(AC) will illustrate, a growing democratic practice in the city – 
one independent of institutional structures involving elected 
representation under the much hyped but increasingly degraded ‘One 
Country, Two Systems’ political model – has mysteriously emerged. 
Deprived of access to conventional forms of representative government, 
supposedly ‘apathetic’ Hong Kong people have cultivated the growth of 
grassroots democracy through collective participation and, in response 
to the suppression of dissenting views in public contexts, an online 
activism and solidarity that is increasingly extra-territorial.


Including the Open Access article ‘The making of the citizen-spectator 
in postmillennial Hong Kong: Authorial and spectatorial engagement with 
independent documentary films' by Helena Wu.
