The prequel<\/strong>
\nParis 1875. Constantin Guys sketched handsome dandies wandering in the arcade. Charles Baudelaire recorded the internal psychology and external appearance of the Flaneur. The above were picked up by Walter Benjamin in the Arcades Project.<\/p>\n

Zeitgeist of HK Gen Z<\/strong>
\nHong Kong 2016. Zoe takes a photo of her outfit of the day (#ootd)using her iPhone, against the backdrop of Causeway Bay, which is the most fashionable neighborhood in the city. She proceeds to upload the photo to her Instagram, where her 128,000 followers immediately learn of her outfit, and the urban environment of Hong Kong.<\/p>\n

Methodology<\/strong>
\nBy inspecting Hong Kong pop culture, this thesis aims to map the psychology of Hong Kong people, ultimately reconstruct the material and cultural condition of Hong Kong.<\/p>\n
