Abstract:

The purpose of the research was to study the transitional experiences of elite female athletes who are going through the process of athletic retirement. Using a life history approach, six former and six current athletes in Hong Kong were interviewed. Semi-structured interviews were utilized based on the Schlossberg’s (1981, 1984) transition model. Data were analyzed using typology and constant comparison methods. Diversity and commonality in the experiences of women withdrawing from elite sports competition were found. The life history approach was effective in illustrating the ways in which H

Abstract:

Significant differences exist between the legal systems of other regions and Hong Kong. Other regions do not legislate queueing, whereas Hong Kong law explicitly mentions penalties for queue-jumping and meticulously regulates public order. Queueing, a "characteristic behavior" that Hong Kong residents are proud of, has become institutionalized and transformed into a collective subconscious within Hong Kong society. It is deeply ingrained and serves as a source of identity for Hong Kong people. Located at the crossroads of Eastern and Western cultures, Hong Kong's queueing culture, as a social

Hong Kong has always existed on the margins of history. Interestingly, Hong Kong’s liminal status also made it a cosmopolitan space for transcultural exchanges between Chinese and Western worlds throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Despite its unique position vis-à-vis China and the West, however, Hong Kong has long been dismissed as lacking cultural gravitas. As such, Hong Kong culture finds itself self-consciously confronting a perennial crisis: as the People’s Republic of China gains increasing recognition in the canons of world literature, Hong Kong’s cosmopolitan culture is
