GE2016-66A/B/C
廢青、港孩、毒男……「九十後」生長於現實與理想的狹縫，身為時代製造的產物，卻反過來被時代厭棄。面對似乎黯然無望的將來，年輕人的絕望會被利用嗎？在焚毀一切、重歸虛無與沈醉玩樂、自我催眠之外，還有沒有一種不離地又不惡俗的存在方式？唯有正視自身的問題，才有機會搶回屬於同代人的話語權。
‘Freeloader’, ‘Kong child’, ‘Dokuo’… maturing in a mix of reality and ideal, the post-90s generation is rejected by the era that ironically created it. Facing a seemingly hopeless future, will the despair of young people be exploited? Apart from burning down everything to return to nothingness and to indulge in self-hypnosis, is there a means to live hard-headedly and at the same time decently? It is only when the generation faces up to its problems can they gain the opportunity to find their voice.
Enrolment at counters (for HKU students only) starts at 10:00 on 19/1 (Thu), at K.K. Leung Concourse.

人人都是評論家
Commentating in An Information Bubble
英國脫歐公投、特朗普當選總統等事件，令一眾依靠社交平台傳遞及接收資訊的網民大跌眼鏡。在意見領袖充斥的網絡世界，有方法分辨評論的質素嗎？當社會越來越二元分化，我們該如何走出「同溫層」？三位熱衷時政的網絡評論家，將為輿論界作一次前瞻與回顧。
Events such as Brexit and the election of Trump have surprised netizens across the globe. Amidst the Internet filled with key opinion leaders, is there a way to discern the quality of the commentaries? How can we escape the stratosphere when the society becomes increasingly polarised? Three keen political commentators are invited to share their views on this heated issue.

正能量
Politically-pertained Positivity
年輕人的怨氣已達臨界點，每天思量前途茫茫，受盡威權逼人咄咄；厭倦了嘉年華化的「左膠」思維，卻又無力組織新一輪抗爭行動。面對殘酷的現實，高談理想已淪為空中樓閣。如此下去，就等於拱手讓出改變命運的機會。倘若要避免落入懦弱怕輸的陷阱，就必須找到一種有勇氣接受挫敗的正能量。
Youngsters’ social grievances have reached a critical point: they are oppressed by powers as their futures remain uncertain; they are sick of the carnivalised “leftard” thinking, but they are unable to organise a new round of protest. Facing the cruel reality, dreams have become castles in the air. If this situation endures, the opportunity of youngsters to change their fates will vanish. Thus, they must find the courage to accept failures to avoid falling into the pitfalls of fear.

鳩——藝術與庸俗的界限
The Unbearable Kitsch of Art
嘩眾取寵、輕浮失實、低級趣味——粵語裏充滿本土色彩的「鳩」一詞，反映着現今流行文化的某種媚俗。藝術家身兼回應社會的使命，以戲謔對抗意識形態之極權，這種「鳩」風格卻有另一層含義。價值紛紜的世代下，應如何理解藝術與社會的關係？
The popular culture nowadays is full of banality and ostentatiousness. At the same time, ‘parody’ has become a form of art to combat the totalitarian ideology. How should we understand the role and function of art in contemporary society?
