Peter Jackson's "Problems and alternatives"

1. Jackson mentioned about culturalism and poverty. Is there any culturalist explanation for poverty in Hong Kong?

2. Is the notion of "poverty passing to next generation" in Hong Kong a culturalist theory?

3. What do the two figures (p. 40 and p. 42) illustrate about the approach of cultural materialism?

4. Many western movies about Hong Kong begin with a scene of harbour and boat. Could you use Raymond Williams' "structures of feeling" and Denis Cosgrove's analysis of the evolution of "landscape" to make sense of this cinematic "way of seeing" Hong Kong?
