Tracing trans-regional discursive flows in Pink Dot Hong Kong promotional videos

Abstract: In this article, we extend discourse analytical research that has focused on Pink Dot events in Singapore to events in Hong Kong. As such we engage queer Sinophone perspectives to examine the simultaneously local and transregional epistemological flows that converge and diverge within the margins of the Sinophone cultural sphere. Using a multimodal analysis of two Pink Dot Hong Kong promotional videos, we investigate the extent to which these videos follow the (homo)normative and … Show more

“…Nevertheless, this nonadversarial mode of communication may be seen as a strategy to speak back to power.

“…As current scholarship shows, Pink Dot is celebrated as a homegrown social movement that not only has withstood the test of time and censorship, but also does so deftly with strategic assimilationist and homonationalist discourse (see Rowlett & Go, 2021 for an example from Pink Dot Hong Kong). While homonationalism and homonormativity were conceptualised as critiques of US queer politics that disavows its radical potential to integrate into heteronormative practices, Pink Dot seems to be exempt from such a critique (see, however, Pak & Hiramoto, 2021).…”
