      abstract = {In this book, Hong Kong is seen as a labyrinth, a  postmodern site of capitalist desires, and a panoptic space  both homely and unhomely. 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 flaneur 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.  .},
