Join us for a community talk by Dr Denise Tang (Lingnan University) and Dr Gina Yang (Lingnan University) to celebrate Pride Month 2024. Dr Tang will present their ethnographic work about older lesbians in Hong Kong, following eight years of fieldwork, which is also the subject of her latest book. Dr Yang will share their research on Hakka women’s community in Nam Chung with a focus on the life of single women and the social space they occupied in Hong Kong.

Co-presented by the UBC Hong Kong Studies Initiative and the SFU Institute For Transpacific Cultural Research, the event hopes to celebrate the resilience and the strength of marginalized communities.

香港年長女同志
生於1940年代至1950年代末的香港年長女同志,她們是如何定義愛情和親密關係?如何跨越性別角色的疆界,探索及實踐同性情慾?田野研究歷時八年,將年長女同志的生命故事納入亞洲酷兒的歷史研究,講者鄧芝珊 (Denise Tang) 將會分享收集和撰寫生命故事的經歷,帶領參加者以同志研究的角度理解她們。

南涌姑婆屋
位在香港南涌的蘊貞堂曾經是南涌村民口中的姑婆屋,供未婚、不婚、或者失婚單身女性羣居, 相互照顧,共同修行。女性不婚有違漢人儒家傳統文化,南涌蘊貞堂跟我們平常對姑婆屋的理解有什麼不同? 講者楊靜怡 (Gina Yang) 將透過這一座曾被淹沒的百年建築,帶領聽眾看見幾乎被遺忘的單身客家婦女生活,並探究這個空間曾經盛載的豐富性別意義,如何與漢人宗族、宗教與香港殖民治理歷史特殊脈絡相互交織。

Language: Cantonese & Mandarin
