Abstract

Leung Ping-kwan (1949–2013), a leading writer and cultural critic of Hong Kong, has around ten collections of poems published over the past few decades. Beginning in 1997, Leung wrote about food, making significant contributions to poetry in Chinese. Drawing literary texts from Leung’s collections of poetry, this paper aims to cast light on the role that Leung has played in the shaping of foodscape poetics and how he elaborates and addresses historical memory and cultural politics. In addition, this paper contends that his deconstruction of nationalism and an emphasis on “wisdom of peoples’ livlihood” lies at the core of Leung’s foodscape poetics, and they constitute a “positionality” rooted in his experience in Hong Kong.
“亚洲的味道”:梁炳宽、美食与代表政治
梁炳钧(1949-2013)是香港著名的作家和文化评论家,在过去的几十年里出版了大约十部诗集。从1997年开始,梁朝伟开始写关于食物的文章,对中文诗歌做出了重大贡献。从梁朝伟的诗集中提取文学文本,本文旨在揭示梁朝伟在美食诗学的塑造中所扮演的角色,以及他如何阐述和解决历史记忆和文化政治问题。此外,本文认为他对民族主义的解构和对“民生智慧”的强调是梁朝伟美食诗学的核心,它们构成了一种根植于他在香港经历的“位置性”。
