Alvin K. Wong

In this discussion, Alvin K. Wong, a comparative literature scholar and chair of the Society of Sinophone Studies, delves into his groundbreaking work on queerness in Hong Kong. He challenges traditional comparative methodologies, proposing the concept of 'unruly comparison' to explore transnational queer solidarities. Wong examines the influence of Hong Kong's cultural landscape through various media, including cinema and visual art, while connecting queer narratives to broader social movements and historical contexts.
