Conception and Application of Predictive Discourse Analysis Theory — Case Study of Hong Kong House at Echigo-Tsumari Art Triennale

This essay combines discourse analysis and predictive processing theory, in an attempt to create a new theoretical methodology to solve the aforementioned problem. With this theory, the writer analyses the curatorial process of the “Hong Kong House” at the “Echigo-Tsumari Art Triennale” in Japan. The writer argues that the curatorial approach of the Hong Kong House faces a conflict between the discourses of “art” and “community,” and its “art-oriented” instead of “community-oriented” inclination depletes its attempt to build an “exchange platform.”
