This book examines Hong Kong’s struggle against the disappearance of its unique identity under the historical challenges of colonialism, in addition to the more recent reimposition of Chinese authoritarian government control, as reflected in three under-researched forms of visual media: comics, advertising and graphic design. Each section of the book focuses on one of these three forms, and each chapter focuses on one stage of Hong Kong’s changing cultural identity. The articulative position of this book is on studies of visual cultural history and media communication. Its case studies will broaden readers’ own cultural knowledge for a more international understanding. The Disappearance of Hong Kong in Comics, Advertising and Graphic Design advances the development of its three key subjects in terms of identity, communication and cultural politics, aiming to reach a wide range of multidisciplinary readers.

Suspended above us with intricate patterns and flamboyant colours, the neon signs of Hong Kong easily guide us to local businesses, Chinese restaurants, bars, and department stores. Apart from marketing and advertising, these neon signs actually convey much more — and mean much more to those who view the signs as a part of their home. This book documents Hong Kong’s neon signs whilst taking on a historical, socio-cultural, and contextual study of visual culture around the city. It explores the inter-related components of neon signs, including each sign’s unique visual aesthetic and design, the history of craftsmanship and training, and how the streetscape relates to Hong Kong’s consumer culture. With an underlying theme of photographic conservation and an array of vibrant images, the author brings the everyday signage of Hong Kong to life.

This vivid book is an inquiry into the stagnation between the development of architectural practice and the progress in urban modernization. It is about islands as territories of resistance. It is about dense places where multitudes dwell in perennial contestations with the city on every front. It is about the histories, tactics and spaces of everyday survival within the hegemonic sway of global capital and unstoppable development. It is preoccupied with making visible the culture of resistance and architecture's entanglement with it. It is about urban resilience. It is about Hong Kong, where uncertainty is status quo.This interdisciplinary volume explores real and invented places and identities that are created in tandem with Hong Kong's urban development. Mapping contested spaces in the territory, it visualizes the energies and tenacity of the people as manifest in their daily life, social and professional networks and the urban spaces in which they inhabit. Embodying the multifaceted nature of the Asian metropolis, the book utilizes a combination of archival materials, public data sources, field observations and documentation, analytical drawings, models, and maps.Related Link(s)

The 1980s was a decade of enormous global change. Upheaval from the top of governments to the bottom of societies saw a new world order begin to emerge. A new form of capitalism redefined global economics on both the right and left as market forces were unleashed. The ideological conflict of the previous four decades petered out as superpower relations improved. A more interconnected world introduced new consumer products and forms of popular culture to societies across the globe. And protest movements saw new battles fought and new alliances forged in an increasingly interdependent world. The Routledge Handbook of the Global 1980s brings together specialists from across the world to examine how the decade was shaped by these changes to politics, economics, culture, societies, and protest movements. The Handbook is divided into five parts focusing on the global environment, globalisation and neoliberalism, politics and society, culture and society, and the closing stages of the global Cold War. By taking an international approach to the history of the 1980s, this book offers a wide-ranging and important new perspective of this hugely transformative decade. It will appeal to students and scholars alike as well as all those interested in the political, social, economic, and cultural shifts of the 1980s.

郭斯恆的上一本著作《香港造字匠》（2020）是探索城市與字型美學的關係。透過七位香港造字匠的匠人精神來建構鮮為人知的城市故事，他們以不同的文字書寫的表達方式，為城市空間添加了一層獨特的文化符號。 延續上一本探索城市與字型的關係，《香港造字匠2》把焦點轉移至近年冒起的八位香港字體設計師，希望透過他們的一段段成長經歷、對字體美學的追求和造字的經驗，嘗試勾勒出香港字體設計的藍圖。 字體設計必須講求美學與功能兩者兼顧，但現實卻往往事與願違。設計師如何取得平衡？有什麼值得關注？在近年興起的眾籌集資計劃下，投身字體設計工作的情況怎樣？另外，香港是否有足夠的土壤培育新一代字體設計師？以上種種問題可從他們的回應中找到答案，從中可反映出不同年代的字體設計師所關注的要點和困難，以至社會的變遷和未來的發展規劃。

走進南華霓虹燈電器廠有限公司採訪，是郭斯恆深入了解香港霓虹招牌發展歷史的開端。「南華」捐贈了大約七百多張手稿給香港理工大學設計學院用作視覺文化研究和教學用途。郭斯恆及其團隊透過整理二百多張食肆的霓虹招牌手稿，以從側面探討香港五十至七十年代的飲食文化，以至不同年代的社會、民生和經濟狀況。 二○一八年，郭斯恆將霓虹招牌的記錄成果出版成《霓虹黯色——香港街道視覺文化記錄》一書；二○二四年，《霓虹艷色——餐飲招牌手稿視覺記錄》乃是前作的延續，重新編寫了部分內容，同時增加了更多資料：第一章，補充了不少有關香港霓虹招牌的歷史；第二章，特別整理了香港餐飲業的轉變，例如從茶樓發展到酒樓、西餐廳及冰室的特色，以至今天成行成市的茶餐廳等；第三章，主要分析霓虹招牌手稿的視覺美學，包括招牌的外形、字體、顏色及圖案等；第四章，集中展示霓虹招牌的手稿，讓讀者能近距離欣賞。 雖然現在街上的霓虹招牌數目大幅減少，但憑藉賞析書中的霓虹招牌手稿，不但能讓讀者對其工藝及美學加深了解，更可為香港霓虹燈的歷史留下了艷麗的色彩。

Greatly revised and expanded, with a new afterword, this update to Martin Jacques’s global bestseller is an essential guide to understanding a world increasingly shaped by Chinese power Soon, China will rule the world. But in doing so, it will not become more Western. Since the first publication of When China Rules the World, the landscape of world power has shifted dramatically. In the three years since the first edition was published, When China Rules the World has proved to be a remarkably prescient book, transforming the nature of the debate on China. Now, in this greatly expanded and fully updated edition, boasting nearly 300 pages of new material, and backed up by the latest statistical data, Martin Jacques renews his assault on conventional thinking about China’s ascendancy, showing how its impact will be as much political and cultural as economic, changing the world as we know it. First published in 2009 to widespread critical acclaim - and controversy - When China Rules the World: The End of the Western World and the Birth of a New Global Order has sold a quarter of a million copies, been translated into eleven languages, nominated for two major literary awards, and is the subject of an immensely popular TED talk.
