This talk sketches three intellectual approaches to developing Hong Kong Studies as a globally relevant and significant field of knowledge. 

(1) Hong Kong as a case,

(2) Hong Kong outside in, 

(3) Hong Kong as global assemblage.

As knowledge production is always and necessarily embedded in historical and social contexts, which kinds of politics and praxis express, enable and repress this emerging field?
