Resurfacing Hong Kong’s Star Ferry: Inter-Island Asian Imaginaries

Category: Editorial, Peer Reviewed  
Location: Hong Kong, CN
Year:
2025


This essay resurfaces the history of Hong Kong’s Star Ferry to address the question of the Asian Century. Today, deceptively contained as a picturesque symbol of the city, forefronting the ferry’s origins through the urban humanities methodology of thick mapping reveals one reading of pan-Asian alliances and inter-Asian competitions that shape rhetorics of “East” and “West” within the city’s complex cultural narrative.
