Cantonese Connection: Periodical Studies in the Age of Digitalization

stephaniewong–Conference–

Introduction

Periodicals played a major role in modern Chinese history: from propagating revolutionary ideas to promoting popular culture; with digitalization the studies of this otherwise too massive and ephemeral kind of literature have become more accessible than ever. “Cantonese Connection”, therefore, is a workshop bringing together local and overseas scholars to discuss various periodicals in this context, with a specific focus on the Cantonese-speaking area, including Guangzhou, Hong Kong and Macau.
The workshop is delighted to have Prof. Poshek Fu to give a keynote speech on “Chinese Student Weekly, Asia Foundation, and Hong Kong’s Cultural Cold War”.

簡介

或宣揚革命，或推銷普及文化，期刊都可謂在近代中國史上舉足輕重。數碼化則為這些海量的、生命週期甚短的文獻帶來研究上的便利。“Cantonese Connection” 工作坊聚集本地及海外學者，在這一脈絡下討論各種期刊，更把焦點集中在粵港澳一帶。
本工作坊有幸請來傅葆石教授作主題演講。題目為：「《中國學生周報》、亞洲基金會與香港的文化冷戰 (編者譯)」。
