    This paper maps the spectral temporalities of Hong Kong in the wakes of the official opening of the high-speed rail link in West Kowloon. Probing the spectral figurations of time in the city through Jacques Derrida’s spectrality discourse, the paper connects spectrality with the method of “deep mapping” as proposed by Mike Pearson and Michael Shanks in Theatre/Archaeology (2005). This method aligns the poetic with the discursive, the fictional and the historical in order to set up an alternative archive of a locale with narratives that traverse and overlay the past, the present, and the future. I consider the notion of time through the act of “counting down” to 1997 and to 2047, and center this deep map on the site of West Kowloon. The reflection is placed in the context of the high-speed rail link, Wong Kar-wai’s train to 2046, a censored, or “disappeared” artwork originally presented on the International Commerce Centre (ICC) by Sampson Wong Yu-hin and Jason Lam Chi-fai “Our 60-Second Friendship Begins Now / Countdown Machine” (2016), and the West Kowloon Cultural District.

    Four decades after radically reinterpreting global relations of knowledge and power, what can Orientalism tell us about the relationship between Beijing and Hong Kong today? Drawing upon recent studies that critique Said’s exclusive focus on the East-West binary to re-envision Orientalism as one of multiple grammars of identification operating across multiple binaries, this paper expands Said’s knowledge/power framework to analyze academic studies of Hong Kong from today’s metropole, Beijing.
    I examine three examples of Beijing’s Hong Kong-ology, arguing that each constructs and reproduces the People’s Republic of China’s (PRC) colonial mythologies across the Hong Kong-Beijing nexus. The first, a book by Jiang Shigong, argues that the brilliance of One Country, Two Systems proves the superiority of the PRC political system, thereby rendering the maintenance of two systems unnecessary. The second, an article on localism in the official journal of the Chinese Association of Hong Kong and Macau Studies, places Hong Kong on the psychoanalyst’s couch to construct the city as an irrational child in need of guidance from Beijing. And finally, a third article provides this guidance, imposing the Party-state’s hegemonic ideology of economic development as a universal panacea.
    Beijing’s Hong Kong-ology constitutes a closed, self-referential, and self- reproducing system divorced from realities on the ground, presenting predetermined self-glorifying tropes as academic analyses. While fundamentally misrepresenting reality, this nexus of ignorance and power nevertheless has real effects on Beijing-Hong Kong relations, promoting misunderstandings, fostering misguided policies, and thereby further escalating tensions.

    Popular culture in Hong Kong has long been perceived as a pivot in the fostering of an identity for this former British colony and current Chinese Special Administrative Region. From the production of horror spanning across the period of the 60s to the recent decade, especially along the fantastical invention and stereotypical representation of a spectralized Southeast Asian cinema, this particular geopolitical imagination of Hong Kong is projected through an otherworldly phantasmagoria of black magic, curses and spells, eerie happenings and, often, pornographic images. While delineating the border between the city of Hong Kong and its Southeast Asian neighbors, such imaginaries are perceived as compensation for Hong Kong’s national ambiguity, which originates from a filtering of nationality in colonial governance and an obsession with ethnic revival in the post-colonial era. Hauntings as such illustrate a process of un-imagining the nation in Hong Kong’s popular culture: although the former Southeast Asian colonies have all become independent sovereign states since decolonization, they have yet to be fully grounded in secular modernity, capitalistic progression and ethical abstinence. As a form of inter-Asian Orientalism which dictates Hong Kong geopolitical imaginary of Southeast Asia, the cinema of black magic is a collective defensive mechanism against the intrusion of the eerie and, most essentially, against the normalcy of nationality.
