Disrupting and (re)making the city
In this paper, we examine a Hong Kong mental health campaign which invited members of the public to walk, hike, or run along Hong Kong Island’s coastline and engage with the urban and natural environment as well as ten specially placed artworks. Through a social semiotic and multimodal metaphor analysis, we explore how these artworks convey parrhesia , or “speaking fearlessly”, by foregrounding mental health experiences that are often marginalize…
Multilingual and multimodal digital communication in the post-pandemic era
Quoting and well-being
Residents in Hong Kong have recently faced more severe mental health challenges due to the 2019 social unrest and the COVID-19 pandemic, among other social, economic and political issues. The situation has given rise to more local public mental health campaigns which mobilise different linguistic, cultural and discursive resources. This article critically examines a common type of social media discourse by two public mental health campaigns in Ho…
Critical Applied Linguistics and Critical Discourse Studies
Critical applied linguists have constantly drawn on discourse‐based theories and methods to study language and communication in relation to social issues such as social inequality and injustice. This entry aims to first discuss the fields of critical applied linguistics (CAL) and critical discourse studies (CDS) in relation to one another and then briefly summarize the CAL research in the past decade that has resourced approaches and tools from C…
Investigating university students’ digital citizenship development through the lens of digital literacy practice
This qualitative study has investigated how a group of bilingual university students in Hong Kong understand digital citizenship and construct it through digital literacy practices in social media. Drawing on interview data and examples of digital activity shared by the students, we adopt the theories of digital literacies and translanguaging and transsemiotizing to reveal how they construct digital citizenship through an complex interplay betwee…
Multilingual writing in a marketised university
The global marketisation of higher education has been evidenced by a wide range of discursive phenomena. This article examines how several sets of student service advertisements in a Hong Kong university employ multilingual writing to promote tailored services and experiences to different groups of student ‘consumers’. It draws on approaches from critical discourse studies, multimodality and research on language and the market to unpack and criti…
Branding devices in place
Operating as a hegemonic, market-driven governmentality, neoliberalism has been colonizing academic institutions and academic professionals’ everyday lives globally. This article demonstrates how several sets of academic event posters displayed at a public Hong Kong university work as spatialized multimodal branding devices that discursively entangle certain types of individuals, activities, institutions, and political economy under a specific mo…
Transforming habitus and recalibrating capital
Transgression in institutional space
This article studies the sociolinguistic and social semiotic transgression enacted by a group of political signs in a public university in Hong Kong. It demonstrates how the signs break normative/stabilized social, cultural and political boundaries and order by mixing up multifarious stylistic and generic resources, resulting in aheteroglossicblending of diverse, often incongruent identities, voices and ideologies predominantly rooted in the mode…
Positioning students as consumers and entrepreneurs
Favoring individual entrepreneurial freedom and free-market competition, neoliberalism has reshaped the social and discursive practices of higher education institutions (HEIs) around the world. In this paper, I draw on methods from critical multimodal discourse studies and an analytic concept from linguistic anthropology to examine several sets of student service materials circulating on the campus of a Hong Kong university between 2016 and 2017.…
