Déjà disparu - The culture of disappearance
Déjà disparu - The culture of disappearance Hong Kong became a subject of films in the 1980s. The question is not the appearance of new themes, but disappearance. The film medium as an elusive, slippery, and ambivalent cultural space. Hong Kong will disappear as a subject not by being ignored but by being represented in the good old days. What is new and unique about the situation is always already gone, and we are left holding a handful of cliches, or a cluster of memories of what has never been.
