市井香港
1937年抗日戰爭爆發，大批南來文人和電影製片人在上海淪陷後遷居香港，拍攝了不少粵語抗日宣傳電影，又稱「國防電影」。在《市井香港：戰前香港的粵語電影、宣傳電影和文化空間》中，趙傑鋒以這段發生在香港的歷史為開端，闡釋了抗日宣傳電影如何與香港的通俗文化交匯，藉此重組由晚清到戰前香港的通俗文化空間。在這個「眾聲喧嘩」的文化空間中，粵劇和電影、影像和聲音、傳統與現代之間的辯證，意外地開闢了一條渠道予各種文化想像和新可能。這種種因素不但影響了戰前香港粵語電影的發展，更為戰後香港的電影業奠下堅實的基礎。本書亦為1937年至1941年的香港電影史，補上一塊或缺已久的拼圖。

大交流
在《大交流：伍秉鑑的怡和行與十九世紀的全球貿易》中，王迪安通過清代十三行行商伍秉鑑的視角，探討了廣州體制下的貿易網絡如何塑造現代商業世界。當時，伍秉鑑的貿易網絡和金融聯繫從中國延伸至印度、美國和英國。這一時期的中國商人往往被視為西方重商主義崛起與中國抑商傳統觀念的受害者，但伍秉鑑並非如此。他早在西方世界秩序確立前的跨國交流中，就成功地在自身商業利益與中國及西方同行的利益之間取得了複雜的平衡。當今的政治勢力不斷相互制衡，以西方為中心的世界體系越來越難以維持，國際商人動態需適應一個中國再次佔據舞台中心的新世界秩序。伍秉鑑的怡和行在十九世紀早期流動的背景下成功部署商業網絡，對我們來說仍然饒有啟示。
