This dissertation examines the im/possibility of musical knowledge in Hong Kong on the uneven institutional terrains between "Chinese music" and "Western music" at the turn of the twenty-first century, seen against the backdrop of multiple imperial legacies. Specifically, it focuses on four institutional "contact zones" between these two major musical traditions-including music departments that offer degrees in both Chinese and Western music, a colonial music exam system has enduring afterlives, a radio station dedicated to "fine music," and the instrument research and development department of a Chinese orchestra-where cultural and scientific knowledge is produced and mobilized under the overlapping shadows of Britain, China, and, increasingly, the United States. Drawing on Sinophone studies and the anthropology of elites, it studies the global institutional milieux in which cosmopolitan elites can mobilize discursive and embodied ways of knowing to navigate and interrogate these asymmetrical institutional terrains of nominal "bi-musicality," as structured by the liberal-pluralist representational tokenism of Western modernity. This project thus provides not only a relational perspective on global Hong Kong, between Western and Chinese musics, to the emerging global and decolonial turns in Anglo-American music studies, but also an autotheoretical and autoethnographic corollary to the postcolonial and Sinophone critiques of the enduring aesthetic and epistemological legacies of imperialism in contemporary East Asia. It traces a complex web of critical agency at these intellectual junctures, full of intimacies and ambivalences, negotiations and compromises, and articulates the stakes and promises in producing cultural knowledge as a forceful critique of power.
