International Academic Symposium: “Macao: A Place of Memory Where East Meets West”
2024-12-06 08:00 - 2024-12-07 17:00 | E21-G035
The concept of “Place of Memory” was invented by the French scholar Pierre Nora, renowned internationally for his monumental work Les Lieux de Mémoire. Amid the significant changes now occurring in the humanities and social sciences, this symposium aims to consider Macao as a “Place of Memory” that bridges East and West, and past and present. In response to the two major “turns” in historiography—global history and public history—we will explore the following issues from both methodological perspectives and practical case studies.

1. The Place of Memory—The Possibility of a New Historiography Using Macao as a Paradigmatic Example. The concept of “Place of Memory” is both simple and ambiguous, natural but also artificial, the most directly perceptible experience and the most abstract conceptions, possessing reality, symbolism, and functionality. Macao’s places of memory naturally include over thirty visible World Heritage sites, one of the official languages—Portuguese, the ubiquitous “egg tarts” on its streets, and its new visage after the return to Chinese sovereignty. Arguably, Macao is a living “museum” reflecting the historical legacy of connections between China and the world. This symposium seeks to explore the possibility of a new historiography that transcends the binary divisions of past and present, East and West, through interdisciplinary methods.

2. Globalization—The Possibility of a Global History Centered on Macao. With the unfolding and growing complexity of globalization, global history faces an opportunity for introspection. Specifically, how can we inherit and carry on the earlier achievements of global history—such as Dependency Theory and the World System approach? How can we go beyond the global historical research one-sidedly focused on the “movement of materials,” to strengthen studies on the “movement of people,” “movement of knowledge,” and “movement of spirits” in order to construct a holistic global history? This symposium will focus on Macao to explore the possibility of a distinctive Chinese global historical narrative that connects Europe, Africa, Asia, and the Americas.

緣起
“歷史在加速消失。”
“記憶（研究）的興起是文字書寫的輝煌的葬禮！”
隨著法國《記憶之場》全譯本被陸續譯介到中國，借鑒他山之石，展開關於中國“記憶之場”研究的時機業已成熟。記憶之場具有實在性、象徵性、功能性等特徵，以什麼標準、使用怎樣的方法展開澳門的記憶之場研究，是本次學術工作坊的目的所在。本次工作坊擬就三個方面進行深入討論：
一曰從法國和歐洲歷史探討記憶研究的方法論問題。
二曰通過若干實例檢討目前記憶研究狀況。
三曰就如何展開澳門的記憶之場研究進行討論。
