The author maps out various specific locations of the city through the intertwined disciplines of street photography, autoethnography and psychogeography. By meandering through the urban landscape and taking street photographs, this form of practice is open to the various metaphors, atmospheres and visual discourses offered up by the street scenes. The result is a practice-led research project informed by both documentary and creative writing that seeks to articulate thinking via the process of art-making. As a research project on the affective mapping of places in the city, the book examines what Hong Kong is, as thought and felt by the person on the street. It explores the everyday experiences afforded by the city through the figure of the flâneur wandering in shopping districts and street markets. Through his own street photographs and drawing from the writings of Byung-Chul Han, Walter Benjamin and Michel de Certeau, the author explores feelings, affects, and states of mind as he explores the city and its social life. Born in Singapore and a long-term resident in Hong Kong, Eddie Tay is a poet and a street photographer. He is Associate Professor in the Department of English, The Chinese University of Hong Kong. . 410 0$aPalgrave Studies in Creativity and Culture,$x2755-4511 606 $aPsychology 606 $aAesthetics 606 $aEnvironmental psychology 606 $aPhotography 606 $aSocial psychology 606 $aSociology, Urban 606 $aPsychology of Aesthetics 606 $aEnvironmental Psychology 606 $aPhotography 606 $aSocial Psychology 606 $aUrban Sociology 606 $aCultural Psychology 615 0$aPsychology. 615 0$aAesthetics. 615 0$aEnvironmental psychology. 615 0$aPhotography. 615 0$aSocial psychology. 615 0$aSociology, Urban. 615 14$aPsychology of Aesthetics. 615 24$aEnvironmental Psychology. 615 24$aPhotography. 615 24$aSocial Psychology. 615 24$aUrban Sociology. 615 24$aCultural Psychology. 676 $a701.03 676 $a302.095125 700 $aTay$b Eddie$01178782 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910647393103321 996 $aHong Kong As Creative Practice$93364206 997 $aUNINA
