Dissertations / Theses on the topic 'Hong Kong comics'

This paper explores the way Hong Kong independent comics encapsulate the essence of the city. Independent comics are distinguished from mainstream comics by their specific mode of production. More significantly they demonstrate an emphasis on subjective personal creativity and craftsmanship, which stands out sharply in the pervasive objective culture in modern society. Adopting an anthropological approach in representing local ways of living, these comics attempt to map an identity of Hong Kong in a way that is free from confusing influences of her postcolonial history, her political subordination to China and the global capitalist forces. The artists of independent comics embrace the essence of local culture by focusing on space and cultural memory and thereby rediscovering the truth and characteristics of life in Hong Kong. As a form of popular cultural text, Hong Kong independent comics package the local identity and history into fashionable goods for cultural consumption. Together with this, the articulation of a shared past creates forces of cohesion that binds the community together and offers a way for the people to negotiate their identity.<br>published_or_final_version<br>Literary and Cultural Studies<br>Master<br>Master of Arts

碩士<br>國立雲林科技大學<br>視覺傳達設計系碩士班<br>94<br>The purpose of this research is focused on the discussion of the visual effect of Kung Fu fighting movement in the Taiwan and Hong Kong Wu Xia comics. It is the comparison for different eras of comics’ development, by using Wu Xia fashion tread that happened in Taiwan twice from “Local” and “Foreign” Wu Xia comics as well as the development and expression on the pictures for Kung Fu fighting movement. To sum up the research, it has been divided by four parts, “The evolution of Kung Fu fighting movement”, “The expression of Kung Fu fighting movements”, “Compare the different Kung Fu fighting movements” and “The different expressions of Kung Fu fighting movements” to discuss the pictures, wording and sections on the comics. Here is the summary, The Evolution of Kung Fu Fighting Movement The fighting name of Kung Fu was shown inside the dialogue frame in 1960’s to 1980’s in the Taiwan Wu Xia comics. But in the Hong Kong Wu Xia comics, the name was shown around the picture of fighting action in 1980’s. The Expression of Kung Fu Fighting Movements In 1960’s to 1980’s, in the picture of Kung Fu fighting movement, it used 2 sections to several sections in the one page to express the fighting impression. In the late 1980’s to 1990’s, the artwork used one section in the one page to express the dramatic plots or as an advance announcement. Compare the Different Kung Fu Fighting Movements The name application of Kung Fu fighting movement in Taiwan and Hong Kung, it tended to use one fighting action with several styles. Until Hong Kong comics were introduced in 1980’s, the name of fighting movement was departed from the dialogue frame. However, when the fighting names and onomatopoeic words were shown around the pictures, too many wording caused the difficulty to recognize the pictures easily. The Different Expressions of Kung Fu Fighting Movements In the comics “Tornado Knight” (Xiao Xia Lung Juan Fang), the Kung Fu fighting movement was responded to the fighting name. But the name of the fighting movement was getting complicated gradually; the limited body fighting expression had broken the correspondence of pictures and wording. It was improved until the fighting name represented to its own picture. Thus, the picture was corresponding to the wording.

Originating in the late-1970s' Japanese comic and fiction culture, boys' love (BL) has become a transnational genre in which young women create, distribute and appreciate stories of male-male relationships in various media, ranging from fiction, comics, music, video films, radio dramas and cosplays (an abbreviation of costume-play), to computer games. Also known as danmei (we indulge in the beautiful) in Chinese, the genre expanded and blossomed in the late-1990s in mainland China and Hong Kong. Grounded in the two relatively unstudied fields, this thesis presents a systematic analysis of a distinctive (and less understood) Chinese BL phenomenon from an ethnographic perspective. Unlike most existing literature which has been focusing on psychoanalysis of BL participation and how followers in different countries accept Japanese BL genre as passive readers, much of this thesis deals with the growing complexity of the production, regulation, representation, consumption, and circulation of local BL practices in mainland China and Hong Kong. It aims to shed lights on how a transnational culture is constructed and indigenised under local social, economic, cultural and political conditions. I argue that young women in mainland China and Hong Kong turn from a passive readership to become active in local BL production through ways such as appreciating and identifying with BL values, participating in creation of the most convenient amateur cultural forms, establishing local BL economies, and using conditional and responding tactics to survive the hostile political and social circumstance. In a weaker status position and a more hostile social circumstance, Chinese participants have to poach resources from the cultural industry and transform their resistance into everyday tactics more actively than their Hong Kong counterparts.
