  • Male Impersonation and Hong Kong Cantonese Opera: A Conversation with Koi Ming-faiDr Helen Grace
    Guest: Ms Koi Ming-fai (Cantonese opera performing artist, specializing in male impersonation)
    Host: Dr Li Siu Leung (Dept of Cultural Studies, Lingnan University)

    The tradition of theatrical cross-dressing in Chinese opera can be traced back as far as the 12th century. At times male and female performers were not allowed to act together on stage, some performers were required to play characters of the opposite gender. It is fascinating that in the patriarchal society of old China, Chinese women were able to play leading heroic male roles on the opera stage.

    Koi Ming-fai, a paragon of male impersonation in Hong Kong Cantonese opera and a media celebrity, specialises in playing military and scholarly male roles, will showcase her outstanding artistry in two works in the upcoming 2005 Hong Kong. Ms Koi will talk to us at Lingnan about the art of male impersonation and her views on the cultural significance of Cantonese opera in Hong Kong.

    16th November 2005 (Wednesday); 18:00; Lingnan University Library

    Co-presented by Lingnan University Library, Kwan Fong Cultural and Research Development Programme, Lingnan University

    畢業後，打算投身新聞行業嗎？

    倘你已是新聞從業員，要 ? 身學習嗎？

    作為讀者，你認為新聞從業員應有什麼知識？

    在「知識經濟」中，怎樣做有知識的新聞從業員？

    • 人大 釋 法 又釋 法、７１上街再上街 ， 銀行不再安全，議會擦出火花，香港近年的急劇變化，新聞從業員如何面對？在新的社會脈 ? 和新的媒體不斷湧現下，新聞從業員怎樣才能避免 too simple, and sometimes naive ？
    • 據說「知識經濟」的時代來了！ 新聞從業員要 ? 身學習嗎？學習什麼「知識」？新聞工作會令從業者去知識化嗎 (de-intellectualized) ？如何才能夠再知識化 (re-intellectualized) ？要專業的知識？還是僅僅是專業的技巧？
    • 香港的新聞是太道德？ 還是太不道德？對新聞從業員來說，什麼是道德？保障讀者的 知情權道德？還是尊重受訪者的知情權 / 私隱權道德？追求客觀中立道德？還是為 社會 帶 來新的批判視 野 道德？
    • 南韓出現了「全民記者」的新概念。 所有人都真的可以做記者嗎？需要培訓嗎？培訓些什 麽 ？全民記者又可以做到些什麼？倘全民皆成記者，我們還需要專業新聞從業員嗎？大學還需要新聞專業嗎？
