Synopsis

This book examines the law in relation to sexual issues in the context of Hong Kong, and its implications for the global context. It aims to develop a localised theory of justice which enables the analysis of multiple socio-legal issues arising in Hong Kong, a predominantly Han-Chinese society in Greater China, while also formulating corresponding possible solutions. Unlike other books on Hong Kong jurisprudence and socio-legal studies, this book not only compares and contrasts different theories of justice, but also attempts to generate a philosophical perspective which can synchronise and reorganise plural theoretical components via the lens of localisation. The author investigates theories of justice developed, respectively, by Rawls, Deleuze, Lacan, Zizek, and from Mahayana Buddhism, as well as (Orthodox) Han-Chinese Daoism. Applying applies this theoretical perspective in analysing different socio-legal issues in post-97 Hong Kong, including transgender rightsto marriage, domestic violence, rape and sexual assault, child sexual abuse, child custody, race, and freedom of information. The book concludes by proposing singular possible strategies, which include desexualization, legal de-ageing and de-informationalization, by which justice(s) can hopefully be reproduced, and questioned. This book is relevant to researchers and students of law, philosophy, sociology, gender studies and cultural studies working on sex-related issues.
