【從中英「雙重殖民」到《國安法》 李靜君解構香港去殖民化抗爭獨特軌跡】

全文:連結於留言區 2019年反修例運動的根源與獨特性,以及香港人身份認同如何形成,仍是許多人試圖釐清的課題。加州大學洛杉磯分校社會學系教授李靜君在其新書《永遠的香港:一個國際大都會的去殖民化抗爭》(Forever Hong Kong: A Global City’s Decolonization Struggle,暫譯),深度剖析香港這場長達20年的掙扎。 李靜君在美國《外交家》(The Diplomat)雜誌昨(27日)刊登的訪問中,首先闡釋香港「去殖民化」進程的4個特徵,包括「由本土孕育的群眾運動」、「針對制度、意識形態與身份認同而非膚色種族」、「在中西匯聚的環球金融中心爆發」。然而,最令人費解的特徵則是,這場「去殖民化」並非在英殖時期發生,反而在「民族」中國統治下進一步激化。 在專訪中,李教授進一步闡述「雙重殖民」與「殖民霸權」概念。1997年之前,英國是公認的殖民者,中國則長期扮演「幽靈殖民者」(phantom colonizer)角色,兩大強權既勾結又競爭,唯利是圖的華人精英則負責居中調和。1970年代初,這種格局鞏固了「殖民霸權」(colonial hegemony),以「穩定與繁榮」、「法治」、「自由市場烏托邦」與「中國為宿命」四大信條建立香港核心價值。這套霸權不僅定義了「香港是甚麼」,也規範了「香港人應該要甚麼」,從而為香港的身份認同設定界限。1997年之前,沒有任何倡議者或政黨敢於挑戰這些原則。 |中英兩國在否認港人自決權上的共謀 更甚者,中英兩國還曾經聯手剝奪香港人的自決權。李靜君表示,港人曾要求憲政改革、增力立法會選舉代表性,甚至主張成為英聯邦中的自治領土,但殖民政府因擔憂中國對殖民地民主化的反彈,長期拖延任何實質性政治改革,直至主權移交前數年才作出有限讓步。 另外,香港與澳門曾獲聯合國列為「非自治領土」,...

I dipendenti di Microsoft protestano contro la complicità dell’azienda nel genocidio di Gaza (e contro i licenziamenti nel mondo high tech)

Riceviamo dal compagno Alessandro Mantovani e molto volentieri pubblichiamo questa nota che dà il giusto rilievo alla protesta di un gruppo di alcune decine di lavoratori e lavoratrici della Microsoft (alcuni ebrei) contro la complicità della “loro” impresa nel genocidio dei palestinesi. Questa protesta è avvenuta giorni fa a Redmont negli Stati Uniti, e ha formulato la richiesta di rescindere la collaborazione con gli apparati bellici sionisti. La nota si allarga poi alla raffica di licenziamenti di massa in corso proprio da parte delle Big Tech in Amerika a seguito della prima larga applicazione dell’IA, un tema su cui è necessario tornare, vista la sua crescente importanza sociale e politica. (Red.) Merita il massimo rilievo da parte nostra la notizia che nei giorni scorsi, nella ...

다시 떠오른 ‘두 국가 해법’ — 팔레스타인인들을 위한 진전인가?

다음은 8월 14일에 열린 노동자연대 서울 공개 토론회에서 필자가 발제한 내용을 다듬고 보완한 것이다. “요르단강에서 지중해까지” 팔레스타인 해방 두 국가 지지 구호가 아니다 끝을 모르는 이스라엘의 인종 학살과 만행은 서방 정부들을 갈수록 곤혹스럽게 만들고 있다. 인종 학살에 대한 사람들의 분노가 깊어지고 팔레스타인인들과 연대하는 국제 운동이 더욱 강화되고 있다. 그런 가운데 지난달 말 주요 유럽 강대국인 프랑스와 영국이 유엔 총회가 열리는 다음 달 팔레스타인 국가를 인정할 것이라고 발표했다. 그후 프랑스는 사우디아라비아와 함께 뉴욕 유엔 본부에서 160개국과 고위급 회의를 열어 ‘두 국가 해법’ 실현을 촉구하는 선언문을 작성했다. 그리고 9월 초 유엔 총회가 열리기 전까지 이 ‘뉴욕 선언’을 지지해 달라고 모든 유엔 회원국에 요청했다. 이재명 정부도 이런 흐름에 힘을 싣고 있다. 앞서 언급한 유엔 고위급 회의에도 참석했고, 8월 10일 네타냐후의 가자시티 점령 계획에 우려를 표하며 두 국가 해법에 대한 지지를 재천명하는 외교부 논평을 냈다. 그런데 이런 흐름에 관해 먼저 지적할 점은 프랑스와 영국이든 이재명 정부든 무기 수출 중단이나 단교 등 이스라엘을 실질적으로 압박하겠다고 약속하고 있지는 않다는 것이다. 물론 최근 독일은 네타냐후 정부가 가자시티 점령 계획을 승인하자 이스라엘로의 무기 수출을 일부 중단한다고 발표했다. 그러나, 이런 발표가 이례적이기는 해도 독일의 무기 수출 중단은 지극히 제한적일 것이다. 독일 총리 메르츠는 ...

They Shall Not Pass: Our Call against Fascism: The Thirty-Fourth Newsletter (2025)

Tens of millions in China and the USSR gave their lives to defeat fascism during World War II; as imperialist militarisation rises again, No Cold War reiterates a call for peace. Alexander Alexandrovich Deineka (Soviet Union), Defence of Sevastopol, 1942. Dear friends, Greetings from the desk of Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research. A walk through the Museum of the War of Chinese People’s Resistance against Japanese Aggression in Beijing makes one despise war and everything about militarism. The museum is not far from the Marco Polo (or Lugou) Bridge, where the Chinese people began their war to liberate their country from the Japanese occupation in the north. The most striking parts of the museum are those that demonstrate the ugly violence of Japanese mi...
