这是香港警察第二次以国安罪名拘捕书店负责人。警方促请市民“切勿以身试法”，国际人权团体批评抓捕行动“暴露了香港国安制度的荒谬和危险”。https://t.co/7uBgJCGcMy

@siuheng Even more from the recent Hong Kong movie "The last dance" 破地獄, I tend to believe affect (especially on healing)has become more crucial for us to understand the link between cultural product, identity, and socioeconomic background.

@siuheng Thanks for the response and recommendations! I share your point that an ideological change has been observed in Cantonese pop song in Hong Kong lately which emotionally or thematically align with the Hong Kong diaspora.

This essay by @HoWanLAW2 is a must-read for me as a (self-proclaimed) CAllFan, a Cantopop lover (well I think I was more passionate about it 20 yrs ago...), and someone interested in Hong Kong diaspora.

Thanks for having my article. I wrote about the affective politics in selected Hong Kong Cantonese disaporic pop songs in 2020 to 2023. Hope it is an engaging and constructive piece to touch on affects, diaspora and identity.🙂

@jennywcreative Same when I mentioned I want to apply for a Master degree to my parents. They even wonder how I can go for a MBA with a humanities degree.
