This oral history project aims to document the voices of Hong Kong leftist film workers who were active from 1949 to 1966 and to utilize their voices to reconstruct Cold War Hong Kong history. The principal investigator adopts the common usage of the term “leftist” during this era, defining leftist film workers as those who worked for the three major leftist film studios and the sole distributor of films made in the People’s Republic of China (PRC). Until the mid-1960s, leftists controlled a significant share of the Hong Kong film market, produced popular movies and exported their productions and PRC-made films to other Chinese communities

文学和摄影经常被认为是姊妹艺术，它们的混合性可见于摄影 (Photography) 的词源，即「以光书写」。尽管不少学者已研究过两者在制作方面的共通之处，可是针对文学作品中以摄影作比喻或象征的研究却仍见贫乏。 本研究正是旨在离开一般只集中在文字和影像之关系的学研方向，并将焦点转移至影像在文学作品中以口述或叙述的存在形式和作用。部份学者曾提出影像有其文本性：它们能被阅读和阐释(Mitchell 1995, Petit 2006)，但仍未有研究分析过文本中被叙述的影像

关于中国小说的起源，过去多以魏、晋为伊始，至唐代发展成熟。近年来出土文献研究提供了战国、秦汉时期，早期小说的材料。但是有关中国早期小说的起源、文体特征以及社会意义，由于史料不足，学界尚乏共识。本研究认为，《穆天子传》恰可以弥补这一个缺环。 作为中国史上最早出土并完整流传至今的出土文献，《穆天子传》的研究涉及文献学、古文字学、文学史与历史地理学等多个学科，具有深远意义。基于本人过去在西周史的研究基础，本研究欲对《穆天子传》作一次通盘研究。首先，从古文字学与版本学的角度，重新检阅其文本与文字隶定的正确性。其次，以年代明确的金文为时间标尺，分析《穆天子传》包含的多时代成份。在这些基础之上，本研究进一步从文学史的视角，探讨《穆天子传》的文献性质。本研究希望超越真、伪二分的传统框架，改由史实与想象互动的文学创作过程，解释《穆天子传》包含真实与想象成份的原因，进而探讨战国时期史学传统蜕变出小说的背景与历程，以及早期小说的作者、读者、传布以及阅读方式等议题。最后，本研究将以《穆天子传》保存的地理讯息，探讨战国时期魏国的地理知识及其西北地理想象，为早期小说真伪杂糅的文本特质提供又一例证。 本研究涉及《穆天子传》的文本基础以及历史意义，期许其对文献、历史、地理与文学史，均作出贡献。

Hong Kong television drama helped defined the Hong Kong identities, and its export into China has influenced generations of mainland audience. However, recent years has witnessed a “reverse flow”: many Hong Kong youngsters have taken an interest or developed a preference for television drama produced in China, such as Scarlet Heart (步步惊心), My Sunshine (何以笙箫默), and Eternal Love (三生三世十里桃花). This phenomenon is far from self-evident because all Hong Kongers' national identifications drop after 2008, and this tendency is most evident in the youngsters. This project, thus, addresses an important and intriguing question: why, in light of significant anti-Mainland sentiments among Hong Kong youth, are Mainland TV dramas popular with this audience?

In the Hong Kong context, the secretarial profession was considered one of the first whitecollar jobs for women, and became an indispensable component of the city’s economy in the latter half of the 20th century when Hong Kong gradually evolved into an international financial center. This project will trace the history of this phenomenon by using Sacred Heart Canossian College of Commerce (SHCCC) as a case study.

This ECS project, drawing on a complexity theory and adopting an ethnographic case study design, seeks to explore teacher educators’ expertise at different stages of their career and how they (re)construct their expertise through different forms of professional practice (eg, teaching, research and practicum supervision) across time and contexts. The study will make a theoretical contribution to our understanding of teacher educator expertise by shedding light on its subject-specific and context-sensitive nature as well as its developmental process mediated by various influencing factors at personal, institutional and societal levels. The study can also generate implications on how to support teacher educators’ professional development at different stages of their career in higher education.
