This seminar explores the difficulty in defining diasporic or expat writing in Hong Kong. Many (but importantly not all) residents of Hong Kong can apply to become permanent residents after seven years, but it is still possible to lose that status if you are
not categorised as ‘ethnically Chinese’. Defining the Hong Kong expat might then seem to be a question of ethnicity, and Hong Kong writing might also be understood in those terms. However, while at first glance it might appear easy to identify the writing
of the non-ethnically Chinese in Hong Kong, to do so fails to acknowledge both the complex dynamism that underlies the unusually high degree of international mobility of Hong Kong’s many communities (first and foremost Chinese), and tensions between local
Hong Kongers and those typically referred to as “mainland Chinese”.<br>
<br>
This seminar considers several examples (Martin Booth, Eddie Tay, and Jingan Young) to explore core issues that sit at the heart of expat writing in Hong Kong – the notion of authenticity, the question of readership and relevance to Hong Kong, and the drama
of self-reflection that describes the supposed acclimatization process of the “outsider”. However, these issues all arise<br>
from, and rely on, the concept of “the local” (Hong Konger). It is not as if the concept is under-examined, as collections of Hong Kong writing frequently begin with attempts to define both writing and writers. However, many assumptions on which these definitions
rest remain rooted in a pre-1997 political and intellectual mindset. Two decades later, new ways of thinking about both expat and local are increasingly vital.<br>
