My dissertation aims to discuss how Hong Kong literature, including speculative fiction, science fiction, and zines, in English or translated into English, might help us to open new avenues of transformation by working through the past and imagining alternative futures. Referencing scholars and activists in queer, transformative, and disability justice, Postcolonial Studies, and Hong Kong Studies, my dissertation adds new materials from the Hong Kong context to enrich the discussions of affect that have hitherto mostly focused on Western societies. It also employs affect as a heuristic device to re-examine the rampant neoliberalizing process and its dire consequences. Diverse and divergent as the materials for analysis are, they are all organized around an investigation into the collusional connection between the biopolitical regulation of populations and the manipulation of affective potentials that upholds and sustains the transnational neoliberal system. While foregrounding key concepts of decoloniality and affect from a range of interdisciplinary approaches, my project probes deeply into the question of what imaginations are intentionally denied, foreclosing possibilities of hope and change. The central questions that my study intends to answer are: How can literature and other cultural products created by Hong Kong writers and artists construct the foundation of a liberating aesthetic that reflects a capacity to imagine alternative worlds? And what are the conditions in which new forms of livability, sociality, and futurity can emerge, survive, and flourish? My project seeks to contribute to anticolonial traditions and decolonial thought. While grounded in literary and textual analysis, my research thinks with people's everyday practices under conditions of political and economic duress in imaginative and hopeful ways. Modelling the cross-disciplinary, cross-border work required for this moment and drawing from the rigorous and well-established tradition of anti-colonial critique in Hong Kong studies, I situate Hong Kong's struggles within the persistent social inequalities, political injustice, and economic disenfranchisement in Hong Kong society along race, class, gender, and sexual lines.
