Abstract'Hong Kong as Method,' proposed by Hong Kong cultural critic Koon-chung Chan, highlights hybridity as the soul of Hong Kong culture. Unlike Kuan-hsing Chen’s 'Asia as Method' that uses Inter-Asia historical experiences and practices to develop an alternative subjectivity of Asia, 'Hong Kong as Method' focuses on Hong Kong’s genuinely hybridized local cultures generated over the past fifty years or so. Based on these theoretical reflections, this paper proposes 'Hong Kong Studies as Method' as a way to track the momentum of Hong Kong culture. Hong Kong’s once vigorous culture is generally agreed to be disappearing owing to the (forced) integration with China. In light of the dystopian take on Hong Kong’s future in the award-winning independent film Ten Years, this paper argues that what made Hong Kong unique was its experience of typical cultural translations, in which the disposition, propensity, and momentum can be articulated but not easily censored.
