SUMMARY:Familiar Strangers: Social Media and the Outsider in China
DESCRIPTION:Anthropological accounts of social relations within Chinese society have traditionally viewed both kinship and familiarity as the basis of relationships between persons\, which has inevitably led to the exclusion of strangers from the majority of attempts to theorize such relations. This lecture draws on ethnographic evidence collected during 15 months of fieldwork studying the impact of social media use in a rural Chinese town\, which revealed the nature of these novel relationships with strangers which are facilitated by social media. \nThrough these ethnographic cases and observations\, Tom McDonald will argue that participants do not position strangers that they meet on social media outside of their network of social relations. Instead\, the mediatized relationships offered by social media come to represent a ready source of potential friends with whom they are both eager and willing to interact. On occasion\,the stranger as integral\, rather than antithetical to sociality\, and it is actually these strangers who individuals feel they can most easily confide in\, and share intimate feelings – or experiences – with. \nFamiliar Strangers: Social Media and the Outsider in Chinese Kinship\nHong Kong Anthropological Society\, Tom McDonald\nDate: 7pm\, 18 January\, 2017\nVenue: Hong Kong Museum of History\nTickets: Free\nMore info: www.facebook.com/hkanthro

SUMMARY:Gifts to a Former Mentor: Hong Kong’s contribution to the rise of China and the consequences of that rise for the current relationship
DESCRIPTION:An Anthropological Talk by Alan Smart – Gifts to a Former Mentor: Hong Kong’s Contribution to the Rise of China and the Consequences of That Rise for the Current Relationship \nHong Kong made a crucial contribution to China’s rise\, but in the last fifteen years the balance of influence has shifted. China’s rise has changed the relationship between China and Hong Kong since 1997. Rather than Hong Kong offering important mentorship\, increasingly its economy is dependent on Beijing’s goodwill\, a wealthy supplicant whose economic importance is hostage to political considerations that make preserving the SAR’s economic vitality desirable to China’s leadership. A series of “gifts” from Beijing to Hong Kong have made the SAR increasingly dependent on Beijing’s goodwill. \nAlan Smart (PhD\, U of Toronto\, 1986) is Professor\, Department of Anthropology\, U of Calgary. Research in Hong Kong\, China and Canada\, on housing\, cities\, borders\, agriculture and transnationalism. Author of “The Shek Kip Mei Myth: Squatters\, fires and colonial rule in Hong Kong\, 1950-1963” (Hong Kong U Press\, 2006)\, and numerous articles. \nFollowing the talk\, you are invited to a self-paying dinner with the speaker. \nAn Anthropological Talk by Alan Smart – Gifts to a Former Mentor: Hong Kong’s Contribution to the Rise of China and the Consequences of That Rise for the Current Relationship\nWhen: 7pm\, 4 March 2015\nWhere: Lecture Hall\, Ground Floor\, Hong Kong Museum of History\, 100 Chatham Road\, Tsim Sha Tsui\nTicket: Free\nMore info: All are welcome! Space\, however\, is limited to 139 seats. The lecture is conducted in English.\nFor more information please contact Stan Dyer on 9746 9537 or anthrohk@gmail.com
