Constructed global space, constructed citizenship

Lee, Micky (author)

This article examines the relation between global space and citizenship by examining the cases of WTO meeting and Hong Kong Disneyland. Scholars assert that global space can unsettle naturalised social relations. Yet, an ambiguousand vague sense of citizenship and a neoliberal spatiotemporal frame constrain how the state, the media, and the locals interpret the meanings of space, and how citizenship is manifested in space. In the global space of the WTO meeting and the Hong Kong Disneyland, the Hong Kong Chinese identity is reinforced by demonising South Korean farmers and mainland Chinese.

Abstract

Članek obravnava odnos med globalnim prostorom in državljanstvom na primerih WTO in Disneylanda v Hong Kongu. Raziskovalci menijo, da globalni prostor lahko denaturalizira družbene odnose. Vendar nejasen občutek državljanstva in neoliberalni časovno-prostorski okvir omejuje državo in medije v interpretaciji pomena prostora ter manifestacijo državljanstva v prostoru. V globalnem prostoru sestanka WTO in Disneylanda v Hong Kongu je bila poudarjena hongkonško-kitajska identiteta z demoniziranejm južnokorejskih kmetov in celinske Kitajske.
