MTR scenic spots

















Have you guys pay attention to such photos before?

Do you have any impressions over these??

They are photos on the maps which posted at the MTR station, aim at introducing some great places to the tourists ( I guess). It may counted as one type of ads which are advertising Hong Kong.

In some extents, these kind of photos/ ads are problematic. Why would I say so? If you have ever pay attention to them before, you would found what they are introducing to a tourist are just the brilliant angles of Hong Kong, trying to construct Hong Kong as a diversity culture, flourishing, affluent city.


It is just a kind of construction, trying to construct the reality (in fact all are constructions in cultural studies's sence =P).

what they reflected are very little. How about the absent one??
If you live in Kowloon City, you must know that what's wrong with the representation of Wah Fu station--- by showing the Kowloon Walled City Park only...someone is trying to construct what they want, obvisiously not the truth, or partly true..


I am not going to talk so much...here are some similar photos took at the MTR station, you may take a look on them :)

講求包裝的社會文化
叫我們有眼無珠
有耳不聞
完美的活力之都
購物與美食
體驗全球一式一樣的冠冕堂皇
深度旅遊、文化旅遊、生態旅遊
能否成為主流?
看著事情的不對,文化研究除了獨立媒體的加入、創造之外,還能夠做些什麼?
