The Constitution of Independent Hong Kong Identities in Post-2014 Artistic Representations-from Literature to Beyond

本研究旨在从后殖民和去殖民主义的角度，结合批评语篇分析和文体分析等语言学研究方法，探讨2014年后香港独立身份的建构，包括从以英语为母语的香港文学作品到以中文为母语的文学作品、其他艺术表现形式(如电影和音乐)，以及非艺术话语(如本地论坛上的在线话语和政府政策文件中的非艺术话语)。这项研究将侧重于2014年后产生的陈述，因为这一年被视为香港历史的转折点，标志着香港地方主义和独立香港认同感的出现，自那以来，特别是在2019年反引渡法修订法案运动之后，香港认同感迅速增长。

This research aims to examine the construction of an independent identity of Hong Kong in post-2014 artistic and linguistic representations starting from Anglophone Hong Kong literature to Sinophone literary works, other artistic representations namely films and music and non-artistic discourses such as online utterances in local forums and government policy documents, from a postcolonial and decolonial perspective with the addition of linguistic research approaches such as critical discourse analysis (CDA) and stylistic analysis. This research will focus on representations produced after 2014 as the year is seen as a turning point of Hong Kong history, marking the emergence of Hong Kong Localism along with the sense of an independent Hong Kong identity, which rapidly grew since then and especially after the Anti-Extradition Law Amendment Bill Movement in 2019.
