Confronting Counternarratives
Since August 2019, the Hong Kong Police Force has been conducting press-briefings to address events pertaining to the Anti-Extradition Amendment Bill protest. Interpreting Hong Kong Police’s Narratives stems out of the interest in using computational approaches and participatory approaches to dissect process pro-establishment narratives.
Methodology
Methodology
I scraped the automatic captions from 120+ Hong Kong police press conference videos,
which were uploaded on YouTube by Chinese state-owned English language news channels
with an English simultaneous interpretation, to generated a 627-page transcript.
The most frequently used 300+ words are then used as the source text.
The visual format is a reference to the popular fridge poetry kit Magnetic Poetry.
You can create your interpretation of the police’s narrative, reveal your version of truth,
or even “receive" an apology.
