On the Hybridity and Marginal Drift of the Cultural Identity of Hong Kong Cinematic Qipao
type: item
description: As a distinctive cultural symbol shaped by colonial history and film storytelling, qipaos appearing in Hong Kong films carry two core cultural traits: hybrid cultural attributes and floating marginal identity. Taking the costume exhibition A Record of Changing Clothes: Hong Kong Film Cheongsam Costume Exhibition as the core research sample, this paper adopts Homi K. Bhabha’s hybridity theory and Oscar Ho Hing-kay’s marginal drift concept as dual analytical frameworks. It analyzes how qipao silhouettes blended Chinese and Western tailoring logic under colonial governance, alongside how film narratives reshaped and shifted Hong Kong people’s cultural belonging through this costume carrier. The research draws a clear conclusion: the qipaos popular in Hong Kong cannot be simply categorized as pure inheritance of traditional Chinese costume or blind imitation of Western fashion. Instead, they are brand-new hybrid cultural forms born from constant silhouette revisions, cross-border sewing technology integration and symbolic design innovation within the cultural gaps brought by colonial rule. Film creation endows qipaos with powerful narrative and metaphor value, making them a vital medium for Hong Kong communities to negotiate cultural belonging and spread localized oriental aesthetics to global audiences.

The Harm Minimization Path of British Anti-drug Narrative
type: item
description: British drug policy has long been distinguished by a pragmatic tradition that seeks elastic space between legal prohibition and de facto tolerance, forging a distinctive harm minimization narrative that stands in sharp contrast to the American War on Drugs. This paper examines the evolutionary trajectory of British drug-control narratives—from nineteenth-century opium-trade controversies and the mid-twentieth-century British System of licensed heroin prescribing to the recent decriminalization experiments in Scotland—to reveal how the United Kingdom has managed drug problems as persistent, complex conditions requiring effective management rather than eradication. Through a narrative-analytic lens, the study interrogates three interconnected dimensions: firstly, the decriminalization experiment of the Drug Legs policy and its contested signal effects between public-health and legal-order frameworks; secondly, the technical operations of harm reduction, including methadone maintenance treatment and supervised injection facilities, and their political vulnerability when confronted with visual politics and moral cognition; and thirdly, the gradual substitution of public-health frameworks for criminal-justice paradigms, driven by the HIV/AIDS crisis, evidence accumulation, professional advocacy, and European integration. The analysis demonstrates that while Britain’s harm-minimization pathway offers evidence-based, compassionate alternatives to prohibitionist approaches, it remains structurally fragile because of the irreconcilable tension between public-health objectives and legal-symbolic goals. The 2016 Brexit referendum further triggered a punitive turn, reactivating “drug-war” discourse and underscoring that drug-policy evolution is non-linear. The paper concludes by offering comparative reflections for China’s drug-control narrative, arguing that China can enrich the hierarchical adaptability of its narrative system by absorbing the technical rationality of harm re…

Occupational Safety and Health as the Core of Corporate Social Responsibility: A Resource-Based Perspective
type: item
description: Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is increasingly recognized as a strategic component of sustainable business management. Nevertheless, its implementation remains largely compliance-driven, with organizations emphasizing policies, certifications, audit documentation, and reporting rather than measurable improvements in workplace conditions. This paper argues that such a documentation-oriented approach inadequately explains how CSR creates value for employees, particularly in occupational safety and health (OSH). Drawing upon international CSR, responsible business conduct, and OSH frameworks, this conceptual study proposes a resource-based framework that reconceptualizes CSR implementation as an organizational capability. The framework identifies six interrelated organizational resources: financial, human, temporal, governance, data, and culture, as the enabling mechanisms through which CSR commitments are translated into workplace justice, employee participation, effective risk management, and sustainable organizational performance. The study further argues that enterprises operating high-risk occupations require substantially greater resource investment because inadequate organizational capacity may directly threaten workers' health, safety, and dignity. By integrating CSR with workplace justice and OSH management, this study extends the current CSR literature beyond compliance-based perspectives and provides a conceptual foundation for embedding social responsibility into everyday workplace governance. The proposed framework offers practical guidance for organizations seeking to strengthen employee well-being, organizational resilience, and long-term sustainability through resource-enabled CSR implementation.

Display Strategies and Reception of Zhang Daqian’s Works in Europe and North America (1950–1980): A Case Study of the Musée Cernuschi in Paris
type: item
description: This research centers on Zhang Daqian’s landmark solo exhibition held at Paris’s Musée Cernuschi in 1956. It tracks how Chinese ink-wash paintings were displayed and received across European and American art circles between the 1950s and 1980s, against the backdrop of Western modernist artistic movements. Multiple types of primary materials support this analysis, covering museum archives, mainstream media reviews, auction transaction records and peer-reviewed art criticism. The paper sorts out how Zhang adopted targeted cross-cultural curatorial tactics to build his unique international artistic identity, as well as viable developmental paths for non-Western art within the post-war global art system. Evidence from the case study proves that Zhang successfully established himself as a core representative of Eastern artistic traditions. His mature splashed-color painting method carries forward the material craft of Song-dynasty blue-green landscapes, while echoing the spontaneous creative logic favored by Western Abstract Expressionist creators. This fusion granted traditional ink-wash art an unprecedented visual language. Beyond its archival value, this work expands people’s understanding of classical Chinese painting and offers solid references for analyzing similar cross-cultural artistic communication phenomena.

Media Dissemination Path and Countermeasures of Yutong Culture in Tiktok Short Videos
type: item
description: "Yutong" is a concept integrating ethnic groups, culture, and region, embodying rich cultural heritages such as language, clothing, folk songs, and embroidery. This study investigates the current status of Yutong culture's dissemination on short video platforms. The research finds that multiple stakeholders have jointly constructed the cultural landscape of the Yutong ethnic group from auditory and visual perspectives. However, due to issues such as overly homogenized content, uneven production levels, and limited dissemination scope, the effectiveness of cultural dissemination is limited. Based on this, this paper proposes innovative paths such as systematic content planning, professional production enhancement, and collaborative dissemination mechanism construction, providing countermeasures and suggestions for the media dissemination of Yutong culture in Ganzi.
