Memories of Tiananmen: Politics and Processes of Collective
Remembering in Hong Kong, 1989-2019 analyzes how collective memory
regarding the 1989 Beijing student movement and the Tiananmen
crackdown was produced, contested, sustained, and transformed in
Hong Kong between 1989 and 2019. Drawing on data gathered through
multiple sources such as news reports, digital media content,
on-site vigil surveys, population surveys, and in-depth interviews
with activists, rally participants, and other stakeholders, it
identifies six key processes in the dynamics of social remembering:
memory formation, memory mobilization, memory institutionalization,
intergenerational transfer, memory repair, and memory
balkanization. The book demonstrates how a socially dominant
collective memory, even one the state finds politically irritable,
can be generated and maintained through constant negotiation and
efforts by a wide range of actors. While Memories of Tiananmen
mainly focuses on the interplay between political changes and the
Tiananmen commemoration in the historical period within which the
society enjoyed a significant degree of civil liberties, it also
discusses how the trajectory of the collective memory may take a
drastic turn as Hong Kong's autonomy is abridged. The book promises
to be a key reference for anyone interested in collective memory
studies, social movement research, political communication, and
China and Hong Kong studies.
The authors consider the opportunities for foreign participants
in the rapidly evolving People's Republic of China across all
sectors of economic activity: banking, securities markets,
infrastructure, and business investment. In each case, government
regulation, legal structure, market organization, and recent trends
are analyzed. Consideration is given to central government
strategies to modify policies to achieve particular goals. The
foreign participant must be aware of these policy changes and the
strategies that guide them. Special attention is given to the
foreign exchange system as it affects the foreign participant, and
the several reforms undertaken in the foreign exchange sector.
'A superb book and a must-read for any City fan.' - DANIEL TAYLOR,
senior writer, The Athletic 'A thorough and delicious retelling of
perhaps not the most successful of European journeys, but
definitely the most interesting ... Fantastic.' - DAVID MOONEY, BBC
Radio 5 Live 'A book that brilliantly explodes the myth that City
have no history or pedigree in Europe.' - SIMON MULLOCK, chief
football writer, Sunday Mirror THE ESSENTIAL NEW HISTORY OF
MANCHESTER CITY'S EUROPEAN TRIUMPHS AND TRAGEDIES FEATURING A
FOREWORD BY CITY LEGEND FRANCIS LEE As one of the first English
sides to taste glory in Europe, lifting the Cup Winners' Cup in
1970, City looked set for life among the continent's elite. But as
their domestic fortunes went from bad to worse to absolute
calamity, the wilderness returned. Avid City fan and respected
journalist Simon Curtis dusts off the details of some truly
intoxicating away days. Filled with tales of the club's travelling
support and the evocative accounts of the journalists who saw the
team of the Seventies, Curtis tells the story of a club steeped in
history, defiantly refusing to bow to pomp and ceremony as it goes
about lifting the ultimate prize. After a spectacular rebuild and
having achieved all there is to achieve on the domestic stage,
including a record-breaking 100-point season in 2017-18, City's
deep-pocketed owners have their sights firmly set on European glory
once more. Yet for all their recent success at home, they are
anything but welcome guests at Europe's top table.
Many deep concerns in the life sciences and medicine have to do
with the enactment, ordering and displacement of a broad range of
values. This volume articulates a pragmatist stance for the study
of the making of values in society, exploring various sites within
life sciences and medicine and asking how values are at play. This
means taking seriously the work scientists, regulators, analysts,
professionals and publics regularly do, in order to define what
counts as proper conduct in science and health care, what is
economically valuable, and what is known and worth knowing. A
number of analytical and methodological means to investigate these
concerns are presented. The editors introduce a way to indicate an
empirically oriented research program into the enacting, ordering
and displacing of values. They argue that a research programme of
this kind, makes it possible to move orthogonally to the question
of what values are, and thus ask how they are constituted. This
rectifies some central problems that arise with approaches that
depend on stabilized understandings of value. At the heart of it,
such a research programme encourages the examination of how and
with what means certain things come to count as valuable and
desirable, how registers of value are ordered as well as displaced.
It further encourages a sense that these matters could be, and
sometimes simultaneously are, otherwise.
