<p><strong><span class="_4yxo _4yxp">HONG KONG STUDIES—</span><span class="_4yxo">Issue 3 (Spring 2019) Call for Papers—Special Section on </span><span class="_4yxo _4yxp">Orientalism </span><span class="_4yxo">Forty Years on; </span></strong><span class="_4yxo"><strong>and General Research Papers</strong></span></p>
<p>The first bilingual and interdisciplinary academic journal on Hong Kong, <em><span class="_4yxp"><a href="https://www.chineseupress.com/index.php?route=product%2Fproduct&product_id=3533">Hong Kong Studies</a> </span></em>(Chinese University Press), is now accepting articles for Issue 3 (scheduled for publication in Spring 2019), which will comprise both general research articles on Hong Kong and a special section on Edward Said’s <em><span class="_4yxp">Orientalism</span></em>.</p>
<p>2018 marks the 40th anniversary of the publication of <em><span class="_4yxp">Orientalism</span></em>, one of the most influential works published in the last century, which has transformed the way many scholars in the humanities, social sciences and beyond conceived of their work. <em><span class="_4yxp">Orientalism</span></em>’s focus however was on the “Anglo-French-American experience of the Arabs and Islam” and not East Asia or the “Far Orient” as Said calls it. He also warns against “sympathetic identification,” the idea that an eighteenth-century mind could breach the doctrinal walls between East and West and “see hidden elements of kinship between himself and the Orient,” which could evolve into an attempt to subordinate the Orient. In accepting Hong Kong’s position today as a region that still puts many of these walls between East and West into sharp focus, Hong Kong has also been assigned its own version of “Hong Kong Chinese ‘Orientalism’” in relation to its treatment of ethnic minorities (Lee Kim-ming 2010), and a recent roundtable discussion at the Hong Kong Arts Festival entitled “Orientalism Today” also explored what it called the “lingering appeal of escapist fantasies” in recent cultural productions focusing on Asian themes (2016). This section explores possible intersections between Hong Kong society, its representation, and the broad understanding of Orientalism today. This issue therefore seeks papers that explore possible dialogues between Said’s work, the practices and discourses Orientalism has come to speak for today, and representations of Hong Kong people and society.</p>
<p>We are also accepting general research articles on Hong Kong for Issue 3. We welcome papers from multiple fields in the social sciences and humanities. We also encourage intersectional and cross-disciplinary dialogues on Hong Kong.</p>
<p>Articles for either section of no more than 6,000 words (including footnotes but excluding bibliography) should be sent to <a href="mailto:hongkongstudies@cuhk.edu.hk"><span class="_4yxr"><a href="mailto:hongkongstudies@cuhk.edu.hk">hongkongstudies@cuhk.edu.hk</a></span></a> before <span class="_4yxo _4yxr">15 September 2018</span>. If you are interested in writing a scholarly book review (1200-2000 words) for <em><span class="_4yxp">Hong Kong Studies</span></em>, please first write to the editors to discuss the suitability of the proposed item. When submitting your work, please follow our style sheet, which is available under the “For Authors” section on our website (<a href="https://goo.gl/1PKA7E" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow"><span class="_4yxr"><a href="https://goo.gl/1PKA7E" rel="nofollow">https://goo.gl/1PKA7E</a></span></a>). Please also provide an abstract of 250 words and a short biographical note of no more than 50 words on a separate page. Submissions will undergo a double-blind peer review process.</p>
