An invitation to participation and call for paper submission

Whose Development? - Hong Kong Critiques on Developmentalism 

Date: March 27, 1999 (film show); March 28, 1999 (conference)
Venue: To be confirmed

Our Aim:
To expose the suppression of autonomous voices in the development
discourse and practice in Hong Kong and explore possibility of
autonomous voices expressed through alternative spatial politics. While
our concern definitely exceeds local boundaries, due to time constraint,
we shall concentrate on examining local experiences and let ourselves be
benefitted from sharing of experiences with friends of the region.

Themes:
1. "Community" identity: constructions and contests
2. The ecofeminist search for autonomous voices
3. Dams and anti-dam movements in the region
4. "Value" myths in the commodification of housing in Hong Kong
5. Community development and spatial politics: the case of Hunghom

Format:

(1) Film show.
(2) Presentations by panelists, followed by open discussions

Others forms of expressions including comic strips, art performances,
video shows are also welcome.

Co-organizers: ARENA (Asian Regional Exchange for New Alternatives),
