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

文學和攝影經常被認為是姊妹藝術，它們的混合性可見於攝影 (Photography) 的詞源，即「以光書寫」。儘管不少學者已研究過兩者在製作方面的共通之處，可是針對文學作品中以攝影作比喻或象徵的研究卻仍見貧乏。 本研究正是旨在離開一般只集中在文字和影像之關係的學研方向，並將焦點轉移至影像在文學作品中以口述或敘述的存在形式和作用。部份學者曾提出影像有其文本性：它們能被閱讀和闡釋(Mitchell 1995, Petit 2006)，但仍未有研究分析過文本中被敘述的影像

關於中國小說的起源，過去多以魏、晉為伊始，至唐代發展成熟。近年來出土文獻研究提供了戰國、秦漢時期，早期小說的材料。但是有關中國早期小說的起源、文體特徵以及社會意義，由於史料不足，學界尚乏共識。本研究認為，《穆天子傳》恰可以彌補這一個缺環。 作為中國史上最早出土並完整流傳至今的出土文獻，《穆天子傳》的研究涉及文獻學、古文字學、文學史與歷史地理學等多個學科，具有深遠意義。基於本人過去在西周史的研究基礎，本研究欲對《穆天子傳》作一次通盤研究。首先，從古文字學與版本學的角度，重新檢閱其文本與文字隸定的正確性。其次，以年代明確的金文為時間標尺，分析《穆天子傳》包含的多時代成份。在這些基礎之上，本研究進一步從文學史的視角，探討《穆天子傳》的文獻性質。本研究希望超越真、偽二分的傳統框架，改由史實與想像互動的文學創作過程，解釋《穆天子傳》包含真實與想像成份的原因，進而探討戰國時期史學傳統蛻變出小說的背景與歷程，以及早期小說的作者、讀者、傳佈以及閱讀方式等議題。最後，本研究將以《穆天子傳》保存的地理訊息，探討戰國時期魏國的地理知識及其西北地理想像，為早期小說真偽雜糅的文本特質提供又一例證。 本研究涉及《穆天子傳》的文本基礎以及歷史意義，期許其對文獻、歷史、地理與文學史，均作出貢獻。

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 (步步驚心), My Sunshine (何以笙簫默), 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.
