摘要

當代中國的冤魂，常常在香港激發出不少公民的自我想像、集體行動和組織。香港公民社會的成員，也常透過這些冤魂來想像中國，因而自覺要跟中國內地保持距離。本文借助現有的相關研究，考掘相關歷史案例，疏理冤魂和公民社會的關係。本文提出「冤魂社會」此概念，去扣連冤魂如何動員生者的集體行動和組織，喚出試圖挑戰權力支配的能動力（agency）。最後，本文省思公民社會這種本源西方的觀念和實踐如何在香港跟華人的生死觀念整合一起，指出冤魂社會可以被理解成一個在中國連繫生死的異托邦（heterotopia）。

The wronged souls (yuanhun) of contemporary China have stimulated various self-imaginations, collective actions and civil organisations in Hong Kong. Hong Kong people have distanced themselves from Mainland China because of the perception of Communist China on these wronged souls. In accordance with analytical tools from existing studies on spectralities, this research reflects upon historical cases in question and demonstrates intricate interplays between wronged souls and civil society. The notion of ＂wronged-soul society＂ is developed to articulate how wronged souls mobilise living people to challenge the ruling power with their agency. This research also reflects how civil society as a Western practice integrates the Chinese ideas of life and death in Hong Kong, thereby forming a wronged-soul society that, by connecting the living and the dead, can be seen as a Chinese heterotopia.
