在過去的十年中，香港出現了大量呼籲保存「本地社區」的社會網絡和文化的社會運動。這些社會運動交織著對政府推行的市區重建項目和政府文物保育政策的批評。這些批評指出政府的政策過度重視經濟發展，進一步加深社會矛盾和弱勢群體的邊緣化。 / 本論文中的社區博物館正是在香港資本主義的城市發展模式下催生而成。為了反對有關城市發展的官方話語和將自己的利益最大化，社區博物館中的各利益持份者，根據他們對當地的歷史和文化的解釋，各自建構他們關於「社區和地方文化」的話語。這些多元的「社區」話語在這個社區博物館的構成，揭示了來自不同社會背景的團體之間的角力。本論文指出該社區博物館的建立和運作，促使分屬各社會階層的團體進行政治協商。他們各自的主張在社區博物館中交流，結果提出了有別於官方著眼經濟的「發展」模式，改以「社區」作本土文化的另一「發展」模式。這過程展示了不同社會階層間的權力流動，以及他們為加強自身的社會的政治影響力和爭奪經濟資源而展開的競爭。 / In the past decade, numerous social movements have emerged in Hong Kong calling for the preservation of social networks and "cultures" of the "local community". These social movements have been interwoven with local critiques of the urban renewal projects and heritage conservation policies implemented by the government. The critiques point out that the government policies overweigh economic development and further increase social disparity and marginalization of disadvantaged groups. The community museum in this study was established in a capitalistic model of urban development in Hong Kong. Various stakeholders construct their own discourses of "community and local culture" in the community museum in order to oppose official discourses about urban development and maximize their own interests. Thus the making of the "community and local culture" in this community museum reveals a negotiation among the parties of different social background. / This research argues that the establishment and operation of the community museum enable groups from different social segments to negotiate and construct their own discourses based on their interpretations of local history and culture. This research also showcases both the power dynamics of different social classes and their competition for their own socio-political influences and economic resources through proposing an alternative model of urban development. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / Tsang, Ching Yi. / Thesis (M.Phil.)--Chinese University of Hong Kong, 2013. / Includes bibliographical references (leaves 196-209). / Electronic reproduction.
