It has been argued that social movements are often producers of ideas rather than tools that ‘translate’ pre-existing ideas into reality. Yet this production process is not always easy to reconstruct. In two recent social movements in Hong Kong, steeped in both local debates and global connections, protesters used slogans, post-it notes and online spaces to articulate new ideas and political agendas. Based on ephemera and other sources collected from the movements, the present article argues that the protesters’ linguistic and visual creations can be read as a form of intellectual production that gave rise to open-ended, sometimes contradictory, public discussions, rather than embracing pre-defined ideological agendas. In the 2014 Umbrella Movement, ideas initially put forward by movement intellectuals (civil disobedience, neo-traditionalist Chinese nationalism critical of the PRC state) were contested, reframed and re-appropriated in the course of discussions around different views of Hong Kong as an autonomous community. In the 2019 Anti-Extradition movement, slogans initially emphasised tactics (‘be water’). In the process of the movement, they were gradually reframed as the ideology of the movement itself: the claim to an infra-political community of solidarity and shared experience.
