| Riassunto: | 香港粵語流行曲，或稱廣東歌， 在香港流行文化中有不可劃缺的地位。 自2020年起，香港再次出現大型的移民潮，相關題材的廣東歌應運而生。 我將借用情動理論中Sara Ahmed對於悼亡和憂鬱的討論及許寶強在其著作《情感政治》中提到由中產價值催生的恐懼文化（Culture of Fear）分析2020至2023年相關廣東歌的歌詞，探討歌詞反映離散港人在海外生活感受到的焦慮，並歸納當中的情動政治和離散論述。1 我提出三種情感，分別是離開的愧疚、異鄉的漂泊和鄉愁，及對新生活的焦慮。這些歌曲帶有淨化的效果，透過體認悲傷、覺察自我和建立「共在」的社群身份，達到情感上的療癒和平衡。Hong Kong Cantonese Popular music, known as ‘Cantopop’, has emerged as a significant cultural product in Hong Kong popular culture. With an aim to understanding the relationship between Hong Kong Cantopop songs and the latest wave of Hong Kong migration since 2020, lyrics from eight selected Hong Kong Cantonese Popular songs are examined under the lens of Affect theory by Sara Ahmed, who theorises the relationship between emotion and power in shaping bodies. Specifically I will discuss melancholia and mourning, and explore how it assimilates the conflict between local and diasporic Hong Kong groups, taking into account the Hong Kong cultural theorist Hui Po Keung on the phenomenon of fear caused by the highly competitive middle-class ideology to study the anxiety of Hong Kong migrants in foreign countries.2 I will demonstrate how the selected songs reflect the subjectivity and emotion of Hong Kong general public and analyse the diasporic discourse conveyed. In my discussion, I will focus on the three types of affect: namely the guilt of leaving, alienation and nostalgia, and the anxiety towards uncertain future. One commonality behind these affects would be the impact of leaving home and parting with friends. I also propose that these songs produce a catharsis effect, which brings healing to collective grief, triggering self-reflection on individual lifestyles, and suggesting a Hong Kong communal identity of “coexistence” which exceeds geographical boundaries. |
