AB - The 2019 ‘Anti-Extradition Law Amendment Bill (Anti-ELAB) Movement’, which is also called Hong Kong protests against Extradition Bill, is an ongoing series of demonstrations in Hong Kong which began with the aim to oppose the introduction of the Fugitive Offenders amendment bill proposed by the Hong Kong government. For half a year from March 31, when was initiated in Hong Kong, one of the most important cultural practices that has emerged uniquely in the protest is the citizen's bulletin board movement, decorated with a post-it, called the Lennon Wall. In this paper, considering the similarities and differences with the various forms of politics of affect in other regions, at first, I discuss what the Lennon wall is, how it emerged in the recent Hong Kong protests, and what its characteristics are. Next, I examine the roles as a medium and the implications of these cultural practices in terms of politics of affect. The intense resistance movements and political conflicts that are taking place not only in Hong Kong, but also recently in each countries of East Asia (and all over the world), are driven by the politics of affect before the cognitive phases. These phenomena raise the need for new attention on the politics of affect. Behind these movements is the resistant politics of affect by the people who have nothing to operate through various media and practices against power or mainstream society. The politics of affect of resistance that works in our daily lives can sometimes generate great political waves and changes, such as candles protests and yellow ribbons practices in Korea, as well as Lennon walls in Hong Kong.
