Cool Culture and Creativity<br />
09:00 >11:00 Cool Japan<br />
Ian Condry<br />
Hatsune Miku, Japan’s virtual idol, attracts audiences worldwide. What does this<br />
say about the future of media, capitalism, and political participation? This case is<br />
framed within the context of the creative industries in Japan, such as anime culture<br />
production, popular music, and fashion… How do fans participate in the production<br />
of culture? How are Japanese creativities supported, and what role does technology<br />
play?<br />
11:00 >13:00 Creative Hong Kong<br />
Chow Yiu Fai<br />
How does Hong Kong culture survive after the handover from British to Chinese<br />
rule in July 1997? What role could it play, and how can we study the production of<br />
culture in Asian cities like Hong Kong? What does Hong Kong tell us about postcolonial<br />
theory, and vice versa?<br />
