Caring in Times of Precarity

A Study of Single Women Doing Creative Work in Shanghai

By: Chow Yiu Fai

Caring in Times of Precarity draws together two key cultural observations: the increase in those living a single life, and the growing attraction of creative careers. Straddling this historical juncture, the book focuses on one particular group of ‘precariat’: single women in Shanghai in various forms of creative (self-)employment. While negotiating their share of the uncanny creative work ethos, these women also find themselves interpellated as shengnü (‘left-over women’) in a society configured by a mix of Confucian values, heterosexual ideals, and global images of womanhood. Following these women’s professional, social and intimate lives, the book refuses to see their singlehood and creative labour as problematic, and them as victims. It departs from dominant thinking on precarity, which foregrounds and critiques the contemporary need to be flexible, mobile, and spontaneous to the extent of (self-)exploitation, accepting insecurity. The book seeks to understand– empirically and specifically–women’s everyday struggles and pleasures. It highlights the up-close, everyday embodied, affective, and subjective experience in a particular Chinese city, with broader, global resonances well beyond China. Exploring the limits of the politics of precarity, the book proposes an ethics of care.

Sonic Multiplicities

Hong Kong Pop and the Global Circulation of Sound and Image

By: Yiu Fai Chow,Jeroen de Kloet

Sonic Multiplicities is a fascinating book, with essays rich in empirical detail and - captivatingly combining the personal and the theoretical - evocative of the complexities of experience, desire and politics in our perplexingly mobile and entangled world. The book's focus on Hong Kong pop music as part of a translocal, if not global network of flows provides a starting point for the authors to unsettle received notions of Chineseness, place and identity, of particular importance in a time when we need to come to terms with, and resist, the increasingly stifling discourse of "the rise of Ch.

It’s My Party

Tat Ming Pair and the Postcolonial Politics of Popular Music in Hong Kong

By: Yiu Fai Chow,Jeroen de Kloet,Leonie Schmidt

This book is unique in focusing on just one band from one city – but the story of Tat Ming Pair, in so many ways, is the story of Hong Kong's recent decades, from the Handover to the Umbrella Movement to 2019's standoff. A comprehensive, theoretically informed study of the sonic history and present of Hong Kong through the prism of Tat Ming Pair, this book will be of interest to cultural studies scholars, scholars of Hong Kong, and those who study the arts in East Asia.
