Hong Kong as a world city draws on a rich variety of foundational texts in film, fiction, architecture and other forms of visual culture. The city has been a cultural faultline for centuriesa translation space where Chineseness is interpreted for Westerners and Westernness is translated for Chinese. Though constantly refreshed by its Chinese roots and global influences, this hub of Cantonese culture has flourished along cosmopolitan lines to build a modern, outwardlooking character. Successfully managing this perpetual instability helps make Hong Kong a postmodern steppingstone city, and helps make its citizens such prosperous and durable survivors in the modern world. This volume of essays engages many fields of cultural achievement. Several pieces discuss the tensions of English, closely associated with a colonial past, yet undeniably the key to Hong Kongs future. Hong Kong provides a vital point of contact, where cultures truly meet and a cosmopolitan traveller can feel at home and leave a sturdy mark. Contributors include John Carroll, Carolyn Cartier, David Clarke, Elaine Ho, Douglas Kerr, Michael Ingham, C. J. W.L. Wee, Chu YiuWai, Gina Marchetti, Esther M.K. Cheung, Pheng Cheah, Chris Berry, and Giorgio Biancorosso.
