SUMMARY:FAH-DENG Guest Lecture: "Whom to (dis)benefit: the principle for determining what/how to say in social interaction"
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nChoices of what/how to say in social interaction are inherently intentional because interlocutors may not mean what they say\, and they may pretend to give priority to others’ benefits or simply claim or deny in order to (dis)benefit certain participants. Thus\, a significant question is on what basis humans choose what to say in order to power and/or (dis)agree or to be (un)cooperative\, (im)polite and/or (ir)relevant. Since no intention is benefit-free\, it can be assumed that benefit (physical\, metaphysical or combinational) weighing on whom to (dis)benefit determines what to say. This principle is the pivot to the reconstruction of connections of intention expression and interpretation in language interaction. Nine basic categories of benefit weighing can be approached for the meaning of specific language choices. Presidential debates and saint dialogues which are salient and family talk which is subtle in benefit weighing are good examples to illustrate this principle. The best result of communication may be achieved when interlocutors disregard their own benefits and speak for the group\, the community\, or human beings in general. Overall\, benefit weighing may serve as the anchor for tackling topics and themes in pragmatics. \n  \nBiography: \nDr. Bingjun Yang is now Distinguished Professor of systemic functional linguistics at Sun Yat-sen University. His research articles appeared in journals like Language Sciences (2004)\, Australian Journal of Linguistics (2014\, 2015\, 2018)\, Journal of Quantitative Linguistics (2015)\, Lingua (2018\, 2023\, 2024)\, Social Semiotics (2019)\, and Journal of World Languages (2017\, 2020\, 2025). His academic books include Non-finiteness: A Process-relation Perspective (Cambridge University Press\, 2022); Corpus-Based Investigations into Grammar\, Media and Health Discourse: Systemic Functional and Other Perspectives (Springer Nature\, 2020; edited with Wen Li)\, Language Policy: A Systemic Functional Linguistic Approach (Routledge\, 2017; with Rui Wang) and Absolute Clauses in English from the Systemic Functional Perspective: A Corpus-based Study (Springer\, 2015; with Qingshun He).

SUMMARY:FAH/DPHIL Lecture Series – "A Zhuangzian Critique of Epistemic Authority" by Dr. Manuel Rivera Espinoza\, Pontifical Catholic University of Chile\, Chile
DESCRIPTION:Microsoft Teams: https://go.um.edu.mo/7mnk1eav \n  \nAbstract \nThis article examines how the Zhuangzi systematically subverts the epistemic hierarchies of its time by inverting the values traditionally associated with “wisdom” and “ignorance.” I propose the concept of “the unmaking of wisdom/knowledge (zhi 知)” to describe a recurrent dynamic in the text: the supposed wisdom of nobles\, courtiers\, and specialists—figures tied to political authority and scholarly prestige—is portrayed as a form of ignorance\, self-deception\, or rigid fixation\, whereas the apparent ignorance of commoners\, artisans\, and other marginalized figures comes to be seen as type of wisdom/knowledge. Through close readings of a range of episodes—encounters between rulers and commoners\, officials and artisans\, etc.—I show how the Zhuangzi dismantles conventional criteria of epistemic authority by dramatizing the practical and existential failures of “official sages\,” in contrast to the efficacy\, spontaneity\, and freedom of those who make no claim to authoritative knowledge. Rather than advancing a new positive doctrine of knowledge\, the text cultivates modes of not-knowing\, conceptual detachment\, and openness to contingency. In this sense\, “not-knowing” does not denote a simple lack of information but names a critical disposition that resists codified knowledge and makes room for relational\, situated\, and embodied forms of understanding. \n  \nBio \nManuel Rivera Espinoza is a FONDECYT Postdoctoral Researcher at the Institute of Aesthetics of the Faculty of Philosophy at the Pontifical Catholic University of Chile. Previously\, he was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Koselleck-Project “Histories of Philosophy in a Global Perspective” at the Institute of Philosophy at Hildesheim University. An expert in intercultural and comparative philosophy\, intellectual history\, and decolonial theory\, with a particular focus on ancient Chinese thought\, Manuel holds a PhD in Philosophy from the University of Macau (China). He has published articles and book reviews in various journals and has presented his research at numerous international conferences and workshops. Fluent in Spanish and English\, with a working knowledge of classical Chinese\, he is also an active member of several academic associations related to Chinese and Asian studies.
