2014年12月的「雨傘運動」中，不時看到「支持本土、以香港為家」的口號和標語，如「自己香港自己救」、「守護香港拒絕沉淪」以及「撐(支持)香港」等等，都反映出年輕一輩對香港的歸屬情感，顯示出本土主義是這場運動論述的核心內涵，意在對抗北京的愛國主義論述，同時也反映出本土意識是目前香港認同與社會集體想像的重要內容。本論文採取文獻分析法，旨在針對透過公共討論中與香港身份認同相關的論述進行脈絡式分析，探討香港身份認同的演變，剖析香港社會自英殖時期至今關於香港人的集體想像。本論文針對英殖管治時期、戰後至回歸、一國兩制實施至今三個主要歷史時期進行研究，探討香港人的集體認同及其演變。本研究結論指出，強調多元族群社會想像的認同論述有助於形塑具包容性的香港本土認同。 / In the 2014 Umbrella Movement, nativism, aimed to contest with the patriotism advocated by Beijing, appeared to be the core of the discourse of the movement. It is embodied in slogans such as ‘Supporting the native; Hong Kong is our home’ and ‘Preserving Hong Kong.’ This reflects the sense of belonging of the Hong Kong youth. Nativism therefore appears to be an important element in the formation of collective identity and social imaginary of Hong Kong. This dissertation, through a contextual analysis of discourses on Hong Kong identity, aims to probe into Hong Kong identity in different historical periods, including the period of British colonial rule, the period from the end of World War Two to the 1997 handover of Hong Kong, and the period when ‘One Country and Two Systems’ is practiced in Hong Kong. In the conclusion, it is argued that the nativist discourse that emphasizes multiethnic social imaginary contributes to the formation of an inclusive form of Hong Kong identity.
