SUMMARY:【Macao Humanities Forum】Imagine A Great Empire? A Study of Forged Li Gonglin's Wanfang Zhigongtu by : Prof. Ge Zhaoguang  from Fudan University
DESCRIPTION:We are very pleased to announce that the 1st Lecture of the FAH Macao Humanities Forum (2024/2025) will be held on 13 September 2024. The forum aims to provide a platform for world-renowned scholars from diverse humanities fields to share their research with the FAH community and other UM scholars. All members of the UM community are cordially invited to this splendid event. \n  \nIn this upcoming forum\, we are honored to have Prof. Ge Zhaoguang as our guest speaker to deliver a lecture on the topic “Imagine A Great Empire? A Study of Forged Li Gonglin’s Wanfang Zhigongtu”. Prof. Ge is a Distinguished Professor and the Founding Director of National Institute for Advanced Humanistic Studies at Fudan University. A graduate from Peking University and formerly a Professor at Tsinghua University\, Prof. Ge was awarded an Honorary Doctorate in Humanities by the Hong Kong Education University\, and recognised by Princeton University as the “Princeton Global Scholar” in 2009. Prof. Ge‘s accolades include: the winner of the “Asia-Pacific Award” in Japan and “Paju Book Award” in South Korea and Hong Kong Book Award\, among others. His influential publications include: A History of Chinese Zen Buddhist Thought: From the 6th to 9th Century (Peking University Press\, 1995)\, An Intellectual History of China (Volumes 1-2) (Fudan University Press\, 1998\, 2001)\, and Here in China: Reconstructing the Historical Narratives about “China” (Chung Hwa Book Company\, 2011). \n  \nDetails of the forum are as follows: \nSpeaker: Prof. Ge Zhaoguang葛兆光教授 \nTopic: Imagine A Great Empire? A Study of Forged Li Gonglin’s Wanfang Zhigongtu  想像天下帝國？從（偽）李公麟《萬方職貢圖》說起 \nDate: 13 Sept 2024 (Fri) \nTime: 14:00 – 15:30* \nVenue: On-Site (E21B-G016) / ZOOM \nLanguage: Mandarin (Simultaneous interpretation into English will be provided on Zoom) \n*Light refreshments will be provided on a first-come-first-served basis \nAbstract: \n“Zhigongtu” has a long-standing influence on Chinese artistic history and also presents a characteristic intellectual history in China. The pride and confidence of the empire were expressed through the contrast of the exotic features of foreign envoys who arrived in an imaginative great empire that was prominent to the surrounding tributaries. This tradition was handed down even to the Song dynasty at a time of territory decreasing and national assimilation. This talk presents a case study of forged Li Gonglin’s Wanfang zhigongtu，and examines the tribute exchanges between the Northern Song and its neighboring countries. It compares the artistic work and the historical facts，and aims to show that not a small part of this work originated from historical memories and the empire’s imagination even though the other parts might have been in keeping with the truth. The study proves that the Song dynasty still indulged itself in the dream of an overwhelming empire despite the fact it did not possess the thriving power of the Han and Tang dynasties. It points out in particular that this artistic tradition went on to the Qing dynasty with the imaginative empire consciousness，which reflects the lasting and profound influence of the traditional Chinese self-conception and worldview. \n  \nPlease register for the forum by 11 Sept 2024 (Wed) via https://umac.au1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_07ArIzblwO31WWa

It is a traditional handicraft and garment from northern Portugal\, worn by women of marriageable age. According to custom\, a girl in love would embroider a handkerchief and gift it to her beloved. The handkerchiefs feature embroidered verses\, drawings\, and declarations related to friendship\, love\, fidelity\, and pure\, innocent love. \n\n\nJapanese Tea Ceremony |14:00–15:00|E21A-G040 \nLanguage: English \nQuota: 16 participants \nThe tea ceremony is an embodiment of traditional etiquette\, where finely-ground green tea is prepared and offered by a host for the pleasure of esteemed guests. This philosophy of hospitality in the tea ceremony resonates with contemporary Japanese practices of entertaining guests. The essence of the tea ceremony lies in embracing the spirit of hospitality and savoring the joy of tea tasting. We aspire to share with everyone the warm hospitality of Japan\, the brilliance of its traditional culture\, and the exquisite taste of matcha through the ritual of the tea ceremony.\n\n\nPeking Opera Facial Makeup Workshop |14:00–15:00|E21A-G037 \nLanguage: Mandarin & English \nQuota: 10 participants \nPeking Opera facial makeup is a distinctive makeup technique steeped in Chinese cultural tradition and a vital element of Peking Opera’s performing arts. It utilizes a vivid palette of colors\, patterns\, and symbols to depict the personality\, status\, and traits of the characters on the actors’ faces.\n\n\nPOR[CELAIN]TUGUESE |14:00––15:00| E21A-G038 \nLanguage: Mandarin & Portuguese \nQuota: 12 participants \nWhat kind of spark arises when the elements of Chinese blue and white porcelain meet Portuguese design motifs? This workshop introduces the emblematic cultural symbols of China and Portugal\, guiding participants to create their own art by arranging porcelain shards on canvases featuring Portuguese elements. It’s an opportunity to craft a unique personal piece that merges these distinct cultural heritages.\n\n\nCalligraphy Workshop  |14:00 – 15:00｜E21A-G039 \nLanguage: Mandarin & English \nQuota: 25 participants \nChinese character calligraphy is not only an artistic expression of Chinese culture but also a jewel of the world’s cultural heritage. In our calligraphy workshop\, participants will independently complete their calligraphy artworks under the guidance of our staff\, discovering the endless allure of traditional calligraphy. They will experience the ancient charm of brush writing and the elegance of Chinese line art. Participants are encouraged to unleash their imagination\, blending their creativity and aesthetic taste\, as they create on round or folding fans—allowing their brush to flow freely\, capturing their emotions and artistic flair.\n\n\nPortuguese Speaking Communities: A Group Competition Game |14:00–15:00 E21A-G036 Black Box Theatre \nLanguage: English \nQuota: 30 Participants \nThe Portuguese language has experienced an increasing presence worldwide\, with numerous communities and countries adopting it for day-by-day interaction\, teaching\, and learning purposes. Each day\, a wide range of cultural expressions\, including music\, literature\, arts\, and cinema… are created in Portuguese. It is also noteworthy that Portuguese is widely used on the internet. In a world marked by vast diversity\, familiarizing ourselves with different languages and cultures can help us become a better global citizen and more adept at navigating differences. In our workshop\, we will organize a group competition to enhance our understanding of Portuguese-speaking countries through images\, sounds\, videos\, and general information. To conclude\, we will collectively learn and sing a song in Portuguese. Join us!!\n\n\nPhilosophy Hits  |14:00 – 15:00| FAH Learning Commons \nQuota: No registration required. Unlimited participants. Join at any time! \nThroughout history and across different cultures\, philosophy has certainly delivered numerous “hits”—influential ideas\, theories\, and figures that have profoundly shaped our understanding of the universe\, our identity\, and the nature of happiness. Our game is designed to showcase the power of philosophy to “strike the core” of these subjects\, posing and solving the most significant and complex questions in the most rigorous and systematic ways. Join us to explore the thoughts of leading philosophers and their pivotal concepts while honing your darts’ precision and focus. Philosophy is not only deeply engaging—it also requires skill!\n\n\nCompleting the Couplet  |14:00 – 15:00| FAH Learning Commons \nQuota: No registration required. Unlimited participants. Join at any time! \nThe couplet is a hallmark of traditional Chinese culture—a crafty and profound phrase that captures the essence of a photograph through the use of rhythmic cadence. Whether it narrates\, describes\, expresses emotions\, or conveys moral lessons\, it employs a variety of rhetorical techniques. This not only allows one to appreciate the aesthetic beauty of the photograph but also to revel in the linguistic grace\, rhetorical elegance\, conceptual depth\, and melodic charm of the couplet. When a couplet is meticulously crafted to mirror the rhythm\, part of speech\, and structure of its paired sentence\, it emerges as an exquisitely aligned and harmoniously resonant gem. Why not challenge yourself to create a couplet that complements the given photo\, achieving a seamless and delightful pairing?\n\n\nPortuguese Language & Culture Games  | 14:00 – 15:00| FAH Learning Commons \nQuota: No registration required. Unlimited participants. Join at any time! \nGame 1: The participants will learn the numbers from 1 to 20 in Portuguese.

SUMMARY:【Macao Humanities Forum】The Confucian Philosophy of Family Feeling as an Inspiration for a New Geopolitical Order by Prof Roger Ames from Peking University
DESCRIPTION:We are very pleased to announce that the 4th Lecture of the FAH Macao Humanities Forum (2023/2024) will be held on 13 Mar 2024. The forum aims to provide a platform for world-renowned scholars from diverse humanities fields to share their research with the FAH community and other UM scholars. All members of the UM community are cordially invited to this splendid event. \n  \nIn this upcoming forum\, we are honored to have Prof Roger Ames as our guest speaker to deliver a lecture on the topic “The Confucian Philosophy of Family Feeling as an Inspiration for a New Geopolitical Order”. Roger Ames is Humanities Chair Professor at Peking University\, and Senior Academic Advisor of the Peking University Berggruen Research Centre. He is also Professor Emeritus of Philosophy of the University of Hawai’i at Manoa. Over the past 30 years\, Prof. Ames has published various papers and manuscripts related to the interpretative studies of Chinese philosophy and culture\, and has also translated into English many Chinese classics\, including Sun-Tzu: The Art of Warfare\, the Confucian Analects and the Daodejing. He is also the founding editor of the China Review International and former editor of Philosophy East & West. \n  \nDetails of the forum are as below: \nSpeaker: Prof Roger Ames  \nTopic: The Confucian Philosophy of Family Feeling as an Inspiration for a New Geopolitical Order  \nDate: 13 Mar 2024 (Wed) \nTime: 16:00 – 17:30* \nVenue: On-Site (E21A-G035) / ZOOM ( https://umac.zoom.us/j/97776221022 ) \nLanguage: English (with simultaneous interpretation into Mandarin on Zoom) \n*Light refreshments will be provided on a first-come-first-served basis \n  \nAbstract: \nThe seismic sea change in the geopolitical order of the world that has accelerated over the first two decades of the 21st century requires nothing less than the reformulation of the world’s geopolitical order. The international anarchy of the zero-sum Westphalian model of a modern state system with sovereign and equal nation states each playing to win has proven woefully inadequate to resolving the complex human predicament of our time. The perceived isomorphism among family\, state\, and world in Confucian philosophy gives rise to an alternative conception of the political in which governance is firmly rooted in personal cultivation within the institution of family. \n  \nIn looking to Confucian philosophy as a possible resource for a new geopolitical order\, I begin by joining Michael Walzer in common cause in his search for a “thin” universal minimalist morality that can provide a basis for a limited but important solidarity among the world’s peoples and cultures. An argument is made from the continuing narrative of Confucian philosophy that family feeling might serve as a universal minimalist morality in our search for a new world geopolitical order. And the question that arises is: given that the majority of the world’s population ground their values in family feeling rather than liberal individualism\, what would be the alternative? \n  \nPlease register for the forum by 11 Mar 2024 (Mon) via https://umac.au1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_8J1jnDQu8Xfu1E2

Her research interests include interpreting quality assessment and interpreting pedagogy. She has published widely in peer-reviewed journals in English and Chinese. She led and completed several large-scale research projects funded by the European Union (i.e.\, Asia Link – the EU-Asia Interpreting Studies) and the China National Social Sciences Foundation (NSSF). Currently\, she is Principle Investigator of a major national-level research project funded by NSSF (2018-2022). She is also serving as Deputy Director in the National Interpreting Committee of Translators Association of China. \nTowards an Integrated Approach to Interpreter Training \nTo perform an interpreter’s function requires a systematic collection of knowledge\, skills and personal characteristics working in concert\, especially in the era of AI. The training of interpreters is a complex endeavour in which elements related to the process and product of the interpreted communication\, and the knowledge and skills required of a professional interpreter should be integrated in pedagogical considerations. In the presentation the speaker proposes that process-oriented and product-oriented pedagogies interact to enable trainees to understand how sub-components of interpreting competence relate to one another in the dynamic interpreting process\, and to follow a structured and monitored sequence of learning steps leading to the acquisition of interpreting competence. It is also believed only when professional practice is integrated into course activities can trainers be well informed in their facilitation of learning and students encouraged to work towards professional standards. \n  \nAiling Zhang 張愛玲（上海外國語大學Shanghai International Studies University）\nBio: Irene A. Zhang is Professor of Translation and Interpreting Studies and Dean of the Graduate Institute of Interpretation and Translation (GIIT)\, Shanghai International Studies University (SISU). A conference interpreter by training\, Prof. Zhang has been active in interpreter training and research. She is also General Editor of Routledge Studies in East Asian Interpreting and General Editor of the Journal of Translation Studies published by Peter Lang. \nRelay and retour: The teaching of interpreting into B \nRelay interpreting is frequently required at multilingual and multilateral events\, often using English or another regional lingua franca as pivot language(s). With the advent of AI\, claims have arisen for direct SI without relying on pivot languages. In this study\, I argue that SI with relay cannot be fully replaced by AI and shall remain at the heart of IO conferences and other events involving less commonly taught languages\, not least because of the absence of a truly powerful training database for this universal AI framework. But instead\, interpreters might be embracing a new paradigm of using AI for assistance with professional work. I explore the implications thereof for educating and training future interpreters and discuss possibilities of this new AI-assisted SI paradigm. \n  \nJackie Yan Xiu 鄢秀（香港城市大學City University of Hong Kong）\nBio: Jackie Xiu Yan received her PhD from the University of Texas at Austin\, USA. She is now Subject Leader of the MA Translation Program in the Department of Linguistics and Translation at City University of Hong Kong. Her research and teaching interests include interpreter and translator training\, audio description\, Applied Linguistics and Chinese culture and translation. She has published profusely in these areas. Her books include Research on Translator and Interpreter Training: A collective Volume of Bibliometric Reviews and Empirical Studies on Learners\, Cultural Identity and Language Anxiety (edited)\, The Commentary of the Analects (translation)\, and Chinese Poems Translated by Arthur Waley (edited). She has also edited a series of history works in Chinese translation\,  and served as editor and reviewer for important academic journals. In 2021\, she has won a silver medal in the International Exhibition of Inventions of Geneva.

With this service\, the life of people who are visually impaired is enriched and they are more likely to feel that they are part of society. Audio description training (ADT) has attracted increasing attention from researchers. Existing studies on ADT are usually based on the trainers’ teaching experience and teacher-centered methodological issues. Only until recently have learner perspectives been explored. The project intends to examine students’ perceived difficulties and coping strategies in AD learning and how AD learning is related to learning interpreting. The participants are translation students enrolled in an interpreting program in Hong Kong. By conducting a three-level grounded theory analysis on the students’ written reflections on their AD learning\, this study will take a learner-centered approach in studying ADT\, providing empirical support for previous findings on ADT and suggest a possible direction for AD trainers to pursue in addressing learners’ needs in their future training activities. \n* This study is partially supported by CityU SIRG Project #7020037 \n  \nVictoria Lei 李麗青（澳門大學Univerisity of Macau）\nBio: Victoria Lei\, Associate Professor\, member of the Centre for Studies of Translation\, Interpreting and Cognition at the University of Macau and Council Member of International Federation of Translators\, is a literary historian\, translator and conference interpreter. She obtained her PhD in English Literature from the University of Glasgow\, UK and is a life member of Clare Hall\, University of Cambridge. An active conference interpreter for two decades\, her interpreting practice and teaching have led her to focus her research on cognition and interpreting in recent years\, and it is her quest to bridge the gap between empirical research\, interpreting practice and the classroom. She explores innovative approaches to translation and interpreting process research using technologies including corpus\, eye tracking\, keylogging and Functional near-infrared spectroscopy. Her current research interest includes brain activation associated with bilingual processing\, interaction and coordination of cognitive efforts in simultaneous interpreting\, the interaction between professional conference interpreters and their environment. \n  \nWei Su蘇偉（廈門大學Xiamen University）\nBio: Professor Wei Su is head of English Department in Xiamen University\, China.

His more academic output can be found at https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2204-3418. \n口譯教育類論文寫作的核心是口譯文獻梳理整合和研究問題的提出。本研究以博士生課程“口譯教育研究”為個案，對比了ChatGPT這一智慧程式的文獻綜述品質和口譯學習者的文獻綜述品質，從“邏輯性”、“原創性”和“批判性”等多個維度分析了人與機器的學術寫作表現，並為未來學術研究的人機協作路徑和風險規避提出具體建議。 \n  \nDaniel Hu 胡宗文（臺灣師範大學Taiwan Normal University）\nBio: Daniel Hu received a doctoral degree in Classics from the University of California\, Santa Barbara\, in 2011. He is currently serving as the Chair of the Graduate Institute of Translation and Interpretation at Taiwan Normal University. In addition\, he is the Director of the Taiwan Association of Translation and Interpretation. His main interests are in the field of Bible translation and Chinese-English Contrastive Analysis. \n  \nThe aim of this talk is to give an indication of how\, when it comes to translation\, CHAT GPT represents a vast improvement over Google Translate. By considering a rather difficult piece of text\, the talk will show that CHAT GPT is vastly superior to Google Translate at deciphering the meaning of words and sentences. In the second half of the talk\, the results of the first half will be extrapolated to the field of interpretation. It will show that\, from the point of view of AI\, the difference between translation and interpretation is almost immaterial. Computer Assisted Translation represents a threat to translators and interpreters everywhere. \n  \nChao Han 韓潮（廈門大學Xiamen University）\nBio: Dr. Chao Han is a professor in the College of Foreign Languages and Cultures at Xiamen University\, China.

One aspect of such transformation pertains to potential means in which T&I quality is assessed in the educational context. Several studies have recently explored and demonstrated how AI and related technologies (e.g.\, natural language processing) could be harnessed to assess T&I quality (semi-)automatically. In this article\, we aimed to extend previous research effort and report on a pilot study in which we utilized Generative Pre-trained Transformer (GPT) models\, a series of large language models (LLMs) created by OpenAI such as ChatGPT\, to automatically assess 56 English-Chinese interpretations produced by 28 interpreting students. To validate the GPT-based assessments\, we correlated the GPT-generated metrics of interpreting quality with those produced by 15 experienced human raters and further calibrated by many-facet Rasch modeling. Pearson’s correlation coefficients were therefore interpreted as an index of concurrent validity. We then compared the correlation matrix with those previously computed based on machine translation evaluation metrics (e.g.\, BLEU\, NIST\, METEOR) and BERT-based quality indicators (see Han & Lu 2023; Lu & Han 2022). This pilot study represents one of the initial efforts to leverage the latest technological advancement to automatically assess human interpretation and may motivate further research and discussion on T&I quality assessment in the age of AI. \n  \nLidi Wang 王立弟（香港中文大學（深圳）Chinese University of Hong Kong\, Shenzhen）\nBio: Prof. Lidi Wang is Head of Division of Translation Studies and Associate Dean of the School of Humanities and Social Science\, Chinese University of Hong Kong\, Shenzhen.

He has been a long-time translator\, interpreter and trainer himself and has published on Chinese linguistics\, cognitive studies of translation and interpretation\, translator training and assessment. He can be reached at wanglidi@cuhk.edu.cn \nThe Impact of AI Technology on Interpreter Training \nThe development of AI is apparently gathering speed and attracting attention of people from different walks of life. While most would see it a welcome sign for technological progress\, which brings benefits to the society and its members\, the challenges it brings are looming large in the minds of many\, not the least teachers and students of languages. There has been growing concerns over issues such as IPR\, performance assessment\, job security and others. It is useful to know how our students respond to the new technologies now available\, which could help us maximize its benefits and to regulate the downside it has on language education. \nFor that purpose\, we are conducting a survey of college students majoring in T&I studies in Mainland China to understand how they are adapting themselves to the technological advancement in their studies and their concern over how this will affect their professional career development as the next generation of interpreters and as language professionals in general. \n  \nJanice Jun Pan 潘珺（香港浸會大學Hong Kong Baptist University）\nBio: Dr. Jun PAN is Associate Dean (Research) of the Faculty of Arts and an Associate Head and Associate Professor at the Department of Translation\, Interpreting and Intercultural Studies at Hong Kong Baptist University. With many years of experience as an interpreter\, Dr. PAN has devoted herself to teaching and researching interpreting and translation\, covering a wide array of subjects including corpus-based translation/interpreting studies\, political discourse and translation/interpreting\, digital humanities\, learner factors & situated learning in interpreter training\, etc. Dr. PAN serves as Co-Editor of Bandung: Journal of the Global South (Brill) and Review Editor of The Interpreter and Translator Trainer (Taylors & Francis). She is also President of the Hong Kong Translation Society\, Chair of International Relations of the Hong Kong Association of University Women\, and (founding) Executive Committee Member of the University Women Asia (under Graduate Women International). \nArtificial intelligence and interpreting: New possibilities for training and professional development \nAdvancements in artificial intelligence (AI) have sparked concerns in various fields\, including interpreting. As a complex human activity of which the very professionalisation relies heavily on technology\, interpreting\, like many other professions\, has faced new challenges. It is therefore crucial to understand what AI is and the new possibilities it can create for training and professional development in our field. This talk\, therefore\, will explore how innovations in the era of AI are impacting interpreter training\, including virtual simulations\, task preparation\, and performance assessment. Additionally\, I will illustrate how the exploration of “big” interpreting data can empower the next generation of interpreters by providing examples of innovative platforms based on this data. Through this discussion\, we aim to shed light on the future prospects and challenges of the field. \n  \nWallace Chen 陳瑞清（美國蒙特雷國際關係學院Monterey Institute of International Studies）\nBio: Wallace Chen is Professor and Program Head of Chinese-English Translation and Interpretation at the Middlebury Institute of International Studies at Monterey (MIIS). He holds an MA in Chinese-English Translation and Interpretation (MIIS) and a Ph.D. in Corpus-Based Translation Studies (University of Manchester\, UK). Professor Chen has been teaching Chinese-English translation and interpretation (T&I) since 1997. He has over 30 years of experience in practicing T&I\, providing services to major corporations\, government agencies\, and international organizations spanning across Asia and North America. Professor Chen lectures in a wide variety of T&I areas\, including professional skill development\, pedagogy\, T&I technology\, professional assessment\, T&I practice\, and corpus-based T&I studies. \nTeaching Interpreting Online: Integrating Platforms and Corpus Tools \nThis paper presents an initial attempt to teach interpreting online\, which is now widely adopted by interpreting programs around the world due to the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak. Various online teaching platforms and corpus tools will be covered in this paper\, including Google Drive\, Moodle\, Zoom\, GoReact\, ZipDX\, InterpretBank\, Sketch Engine\, WebCorp\, and OneClick Terms. Online teaching of interpreting involves a series of modules: pre-class preparation\, in-class practice and discussion\, post-class self-guided practice by the students\, online peer critique\, online course platform design\, assessment of interpreting homework\, exam proctoring and grading\, and corpus-assisted knowledge management. These modules are highly customizable and can be used to teach the three major modes of interpreting: Sight Translation (ST)\, Consecutive Interpreting (CI)\, and Simultaneous Interpreting (SI). Methods and steps to teach these modes of interpreting in the online environment are described\, with online student counseling with the instructor as a way to maximize the benefits of teaching interpreting online. \nKeywords: online teaching\, corpus\, assessment of interpreting\, sight translation\, consecutive interpreting\, simultaneous interpreting \n  \nMin Huang 黃敏（武漢大學Wuhan University）\nBio: Dr. Min Huang is an associate professor and vice dean at the Department of Translation and Interpreting\, Wuhan University. He mentors MTI students and has 20 years of experience as an interpreter trainer\, an interpreting researcher as well as a part-time interpreter and translator. He is an expert member of the Translators Association of China (TAC) and Committee Member of the Interpreters Committee of TAC\, Secretary-general of Translators Association of Hubei (TAHB) and Chairman of the Interpreters’ Committee of TAHB\, Vice Director of the Interpreting Education and Assessment Union (IEAU)\, and Executive Director of the International Association of Translation Interpreting and Cognition (IATIC). He is author of more than 20 interpreting textbooks. His current research interest focuses on interpreting training\, interpreting quality assessment and interpreting accreditation testing. \nAn Exploration on an AI-assisted Interpreting Competence Model \nThe great development of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies\, such as speech recognition\, sound-text conversion\, machine translation\, and speech synthesis\, has brought many conveniences to interpreting practice\, which has thus changed the traditional human interpreting modes. Hence\, the components and their weights of the interpreting competence of human interpreters have gained new features. Therefore\, it is necessary to make corresponding adjustments in the content of interpreting training\, and interpreting training institutions should explore accordingly new thoughts on curriculum design\, training focuses\, and textbook writing. This article will modify the existing interpreting competence models\, construct an AI-assisted interpreting competence model\, and further put forward proposals on a series of issues related to interpreting training. \nKey words: artificial intelligence; interpreting competence; interpreting training \n  \nYihui Zhao趙毅慧（西安外國語大學Xi’an International Studies University）\nBio: Yihui Zhao\, Associate Professor\, Deputy Dean of School of Translation Studies of Xi’an International Studies University. She won the China-Canada Exchange Program Scholarship and visited University of Ottawa as senior scholar in 2014. With years of experience in interpreting teaching and practice\, she has got various interpreting experience for over 500 international conferences and was employed by the Chief Interpreter of the Shaanxi Provinvial Translators and Interpreters Talent Bank. In 2011\, she won the second prize of Shaanxi Provincial Education Award. In recent years\, she has published several influential papers in the fields of interpreting technology and interpreting education on well-reputed journals like Foreign Language Teaching\, Shanghai Translation\, Foreign Language and Foreign Language Teaching\, Foreign Language Research\, etc. She is currently leading 2 provincial level research programs. \nInterpreting Teaching in Digital Era: Challenges and Solutions \nAbstract: Computer assisted interpreting training tools (CAIT)\, derived in the 1990s from computer assisted language learning tools (CALL)\, are now routinely used in several educational institutions (Kajzer-Wietrzny and Tymczyńska 2014). The next step forward was moving from the physical classroom to virtual environments and experimenting with on-line teaching and learning (Ko 2008; Ko and Chen 2011; Braun and Slater 2014; Motta 2016). The ‘technological turn’ in interpreting (Fantinuoli 2018) has been discussed a lot in recent years particularly heated since the burst-out of COVID-19. This indicates that technology has entered or is entering the realm of interpreting education and practice. This presentation attempts to discuss the positive and negative impact of technology application in interpreting teaching and practice in digital era and to provide some suggestions in terms of computer assisted interpreting teaching. \n

Secondly\, a new understanding of “Chinese philosophy” as a “philosophy from China” will be introduced. I will distinguish it from the three previous philosophical understandings of the “Chinese philosophy\,” i.e.\, 1) as “China’s philosophy 中國的哲學\,” 2) as “philosophy in China 哲學在中國\,” and 3) as “China-grounded philosophy 中國底哲學\,” etc.  Many modern Chinese philosophers like Jin Yuelin 金岳霖（‪1895–1984）\, Feng Youlan馮友蘭 (‪1895–1990）\, and Mou Zongsan牟宗三 (‪1909–1995) discussed these ideas before. Third\, I shall conclude by saying that “Chinese philosophy” is neither a metaphysically a priori nor a teleological conception. Rather\, it belongs to a historical-genealogical “Bildung” of “philosophizing” that was and will continue to be future-oriented\, open\, and always renewing. \n  \n  \nSession分組1B: Education\, Society and History 教育、社會與歷史\nThe effects and discourse of online Mindfulness Intervention among Research Postgraduate Students \nKatherine Chen \nEnglish Language Centre \nResearch postgraduate (RPg) students face significant stress while pursuing their degrees. We conducted a study to investigate the effectiveness of an online eight-week mindfulness-based intervention in enhancing wellbeing among RPg students\, using a randomized waitlist-controlled design. We also aimed to explore the discourse of mindfulness in this intervention setting. \nWe recruited 88 participants who are RPgs from the University of Macau and the University of Hong Kong\, and assessed trait mindfulness\, emotional states\, resilience\, and mental wellbeing at baseline\, post-intervention\, and 8-week follow-up. Qualitative data\, such as homework reflections\, audio transcripts\, and chat box inputs\, were collected to examine possible discoursal patterns of change. The intervention program was adapted from “Mindfulness: a Practical Guide to Finding Peace in a Frantic World” (Williams & Penman\, 2011). \nWe found a significant correlation between trait mindfulness\, wellbeing\, and emotional states among RPg students. The discourse data provides qualitative depth on participants’ mindful processing of thoughts and emotions at times of stress. \nOur study provides preliminary evidence supporting the effectiveness of an online mindfulness program in enhancing the wellbeing of RPg students. The discourse analysis sheds light on potential mechanisms underlying the program’s effectiveness. \n  \nInformation-based Academic Writing Assessment \nCecilia Zhao \nDepartment of English \nAs a response to the observed lack of theoretical support and generalizability of results in our current writing assessment practices\, this paper proposes an alternative writing assessment design that reflects more faithfully theoretical conceptions of writing and authentic writing practices in the current information age. It starts with a brief review of existing writing theories and presents a three-dimensional model of “Information-based Academic Writing” (IBAW)\, which foregrounds information literacy as an integral part of the writing process and extends our current understanding and conception of the construct of writing (Yu & Zhao\, 2021). The model illustrates how writing tasks situated in specific rhetorical\, disciplinary\, and information contexts activate one’s knowledge base and generate information needs\, which then guides the iterative information behaviors and writing processes\, as regulated by one’s affective and metacognitive strategies\, to generate new knowledge and new information. Based on such a model\, a conceptual framework for designing and developing a process-oriented information-based academic writing assessment is presented to show how updated writing theories may help inform and guide more authentic and meaningful assessment design. The paper ends with a discussion of the value and practical implications of such an assessment design\, together with potential challenges for the developers and users of this alternative assessment approach. \n  \nFraming slogans for responsible gaming campaigns by conceptual metaphors and the prospect of gains/losses: cases of the U.S.\, Singapore\, and Macau \nVincent Wang \nDepartment of English \nThis study examines the mechanism of persuasion by slogans for anti-problematic gambling campaigns. We look at slogans in the official posters used by authorities in three places – the U.S.\, Singapore\, and Macau – and\, in particular\, analyse the use of conceptual metaphors and the frame of gaining or losing. The results are discussed in an attempt to better understand the framing devices at work in the social contexts in which the slogans are used. \n  \n  \nLute\, Sword\, Snake\, and Parasol: Forming of the Standard Iconographies of the Four Heavenly Kings in Chinese Buddhist Art \nZhu Tianshu \nDepartment of History \nThe Four Heavenly Kings\, Sida Tianwang 四大天王\, are the guardians of the four quarters of the world in Buddhism. They are among the most frequently represented protective deities in Buddhist art across different traditions. In their standard iconographies developed in China popular during the Ming and Qing dynasties (1368-1911)\, they wear full armor\, and each holds exclusive attributes—lute (pipa琵琶)\, sword\, snake\, and parasol — from the east\, south\, west\, to the north respectively. There is no direct textual base in the Chinese cannon for such iconographies. Neither can we find prototypes in India or central Asia. Indeed\, how did this iconographic group develop in China? In the past\, since the standard iconographies of the Four Heavenly Kings are clear\, and identification is no problem\, comprehensive in-depth study on this is lacking. Actually\, those attributes came from a Tantric tradition related to Tibetan Buddhism filtered through the Xi Xia (1036-1227) and Yuan (1206-1368). What revealed in the development of this iconography is the complex relationship among the Tibetan\, Tanguts\, Mongols\, and Chinese Buddhism. \n  \nInter-imperial Cooperation and Struggles around the Global Suppression of Maritime Raiding in the Nineteenth Century \nManuel Barcia \nUniversity of Leeds \nDepartment of History \nDuring the middle decades of the nineteenth century\, pirate imperialist states were able to come together at times\, in order to device strategies to combat amphibious peoples they considered to be pirates. At other times\, commercial or colonial interests weighted heavily on their decision-making processes\, and led them instead to confront each other. The case of the assassination of Governor Amaral in Macau\, in 1849\, serves as a propitious platform to explore these instances of collaboration and struggle. That the British would disembark troops in Macau twice in less than three months before and after Amaral’s death\, the first time to attack the Portuguese garrison and the second one to support it while they fought the Chinese\, reveals how fast and adaptable policies and actions could be taken whenever necessary. In spite of the wide array of differences and disputes existing between pirate imperial powers around the world in the middle decades of the nineteenth century\, the suppression of maritime raiding\, and maritime communities’ autonomy\, was the common theme that brought them\, more often than not\, together. These suppression activities\, however\, concealed further agendas\, which included the acquisition of commercial advantages\, the consolidation of colonies\, and the displacement or extermination of aquatic communities standing in the way of western “civilization” and the abolition of slavery and slave trading activities. \n  \nSession分組2A: Linguistics 語言學\nMandarin Chinese as a World Language and the Three Concentric Circle Theory \nJie Xu \nDepartment of Chinese Language and Literature \nMandarin Chinese has been developing to be a new world language. Adopting the Three Concentric Circle Theory that Kachru (1985) proposed for the international spread of English\, we argue that the international spread of Mandarin Chinese exhibits almost the very same three concentric circle pattern\, from Northern China to Southern China\, and from inland to overseas. We argue that the three concentric circle pattern of Mandarin’s spread and various functions of the language in different areas across the world call for an even better designed language planning policy and a better executed language management implementation in terms of standardization criteria\, education models and promotion strategies. \n  \nThe organization of repetition in second language classes \nRicardo Moutinho \nDepartment of Portuguese \nThis talk explores repetition during L2 instruction as a ‘seen-but-unnoticed’ (i.e.\, common and taken-for-granted) element produced by students and teachers\, who exhibit\, recognize and ‘trust’ in this phenomenon (i.e.\, repetition) as a fundamental part of the organizational architecture of L2 classroom environments. We will explore some video-recorded data gathered in Portuguese language classes for beginner-level university students and discuss how the phenomenon of repetition is produced in that context as an instructionally relevant (and observable) practice. The analysis is divided into two parts. The first one refers to repetition in the third turn of the IRF sequence (Initiation-Response-Feedback). The second part refers to repetition as a resource to display moments of understanding of apprehensible objects\, an action that reflexively produces pairs of categories such as [native speaker-non-native speaker] and [teacher-student]. The results point to two directions: 1) the need for empirical data to carry out an investigation on language classroom practices\, since the phenomenon observed here is displayed by the participants as their in situ accomplished tasks; 2) the combination of sequential and categorial elements of talk in the production of the organization of repetition\, which helps analysts avoid to take as ‘unproblematic’ the categorization work produced by classroom participants. \n  \nIs Portuguese a Heavy Language? \nJoão Veloso \nDepartment of Portuguese \nSyllable weight (SW) is commonly accepted\, at least in certain languages\, as one of the phonological determinants of word stress. In languages like Classical Latin\, for instance\, stress falls on the penultimate if this is heavy\, on the antepenultimate if the penultimate is light (all long vowels making syllables heavy\, all short vowels making open syllables light): \nThe most conservative approaches to word-stress in Portuguese tend not to consider SW as relevant for word-stress (indeed\, refusing to accept SW as a phonologically relevant parameter in this language). Mateus & Andrade (2000) and Mateus et al. (2033)\, for instance\, describe Portuguese as a weight-insensitive language\, relating word stress to morphological properties only. \nAlternative views\, such as Wetzels’ (2007\, 2020) and Carvalho’s (2011)\, have insisted that SW is absolutely relevant for word-stress assignment in Portuguese. Statistically\, most words with a final heavy syllable are oxytones. When the penultimate is heavy\, it normally functions as a stress attractor. Finally\, proparoxytonic stress is disallowed if the penultimate is heavy. According to these proposals\, Portuguese SW is mainly related to rhyme-branching. \nIn this presentation\, we shall develop previous proposals (e.g.\, Veloso 2019)\, arguinh in favour of SW as phonologically relevant in Portuguese. Such relevance is twofold: \n\nA) Weight in Portuguese is not only a function of rhyme-branching: some features of the internal structure of segments assign these segments “intrinsic weight”. This seems to be the case of sonority\, palatality and other kinds of segment complexity (an overload of phonological specification derived from the association of segmental specification plus an extra autosegment).\nB) Weight does not manifest only on stress-assignment: Word Minimality can be explained by SWG\, also.\n\nOn the basis of a broader discussion of this type of data\, we shall highlight the following remarks: \nPortuguese must be included in the set of weight-sensitive languages; \nSyllable weight\, in Portuguese\, lies on rhyme-branching and on certain aspects of the structure and behaviour of segments; \nInherent Segment Weight should be accepted in Portuguese; \nSyllable Weight\, in Portuguese\, is relevant for stress-assignment and minimality. \n  \nSession分組2B: Translation 翻譯\nThe pivotal role of translators’ research in literary translation: A case study of Jeffrey Kinkley \nMinhui Xu \nDepartment of English \nMuch recent work in the discipline of translation studies has focused on translators\, yet the research conducted by translators remains understudied. This study explores translators’ research and its impact on their translations and on translational trust. Taking Jeffrey C. Kinkley–an American translator\, historian and sinologist–as a case study\, we attempt to investigate Kinkley’s research work\, including interviews with the original author\, fieldwork to verify objects described in the text\, research on historical documentation and previous studies\, which resembles the research work of evidential scholarship and ethnographic studies. Kinkley’s research impacts his translations\, which are characterised by inclusive text selection\, thick translation strategies\, literary and cultural fidelity\, and knowledge creation. A translator’s research provides a solid foundation not only for accurate and adequate translations and increased visibility but also for dynamic networking among various agents in the translation field\, which plays a pivotal role in nurturing translational trust. This investigation into Kinkley’s research work contributes to an in-depth understanding of and objective comments on both translation and translator. \nKeywords: translator’s research work; translator’s visibility; translational trust; Jeffrey Kinkley; literary translation \n  \nIntroduced through poetry translation or not? Recontextualizing avant-garde nature of Chinese new poetry from the perspective of cosmopolitanism \nShuying Liang (PhD) \nDepartment of English \nTranslation could function as an act of epistemological force of intrusion into the domestic poetic paradigm amid cross-cultural encounter. Chinese New Poetry at the early 20th century featuring Chinese national avant-garde spirit\, worked a poetic paradigm shift against classical Chinese poetry\, which was in alignment with Chinese Vernacular Movement and the May Fourth New Literature Movement. The inheritance of the traditional Chinese cultural treasure combined with the appropriated forms of foreign poems in creating Chinese New Poetry has contributed to promoting Chinese vernacular language from the periphery to the centre in China’s society then. The paper offers a re-examination of the critical role of the translations of foreign poems in promoting Chinese New Poetry in the early 20th century. It argues that Chinese New Poetry is a hybridized poetic genre with avant-garde spirit encapsulated in the globalization process\, challenging the traditional conceptualization of Chinese poetry and reenergizing Chinese poetic prosperity. The intense interactions with the cultural foreignness via the translational activities have helped Chinese New Poetry towards a direction of modernity and openness. By drawing on the cosmopolitanism perspective\, the paper relates the dialectic relationship between poetry translation with the genesis of Chinese New Poetry to the wider context of world literature. \n  \nWhich is more costly in Chinese to English simultaneous interpreting\, “pairing” or “transphrasing”? Evidence from an fNIRS neuroimaging study \nCSTIC Team (Defeng Li\, Victoria Lei\, Yuan\, Z and Alison Lin) \nThis study examined the neural mechanism underlying two translation strategies associated with Chinese to English simultaneous interpreting (SI) targeting the left prefrontal cortex (PFC)\, which is generally involved in the control of interference and conflict resolution and has been identified as the brain area that plays a pivotal role in SI. Brain activation associated with the two strategies including “pairing” and “transphrasing” were compared with that from “nontranslation\,” which keeps the source language item unchanged in the target language production and is considered as a tactic that does not require complex cognitive operation associated with bilingual processing effort. Our findings revealed that “pairing” elicited the strongest and almost immediate brain activation in the Broca’s area\, and “transphrasing” resulted in the most extensive and strongest activation overall in the left PFC. By contrast\, “nontranslation” induced very little brain activation in these regions. This work\, which represents one of the first efforts in investigating brain activation related to translation strategies involving different levels of cognitive control\, will not only pave a new avenue for better understanding of the cognitive mechanism underlying SI but also provide further insight into the role that the Broca’s region plays in domaingeneral cognitive control. \n  \nSession分組3A:Philosophy 哲學\nFrom “Westernizing” Chinese Philosophy to “Sinicizing” Chinese Philosophy \nTing-mien Lee \nDepartment of Philosophy and Religious Studies \nSince the abolishment of imperial examination and the establishment of modern universities\, “Chinese philosophy” has embarked on the project of “modernization” to accommodate itself to its new academic home\, namely\, philosophy department. Initially\, scholars “westernized” ancient Chinese thought by reading Western philosophical theses into early Chinese masters’ texts. This strategy led to the controversy of “the legitimacy of Chinese philosophy.” After decades of heated debate\, however\, the controversy became moot in the new intellectual and political settings. As the ideas of “Sinicization” and “Chinese characteristics” began to gain currency\, the intellectual movement of “Sinicizing Chinese philosophy” has emerged. As an on-going movement\, its implications concerning the future of the discipline of “Chinese philosophy” remain unclear. However\, an examination of this movement may help us gain deeper insights into contemporary Chinese intellectual trends. \n  \n  \nSession分組3B: English Literature 英文文學\n‘The vampire hypothesis’: from fingernails to ministering angels – the first Swedish debunker \nDamian Shaw & Matthew Gibson \nDepartment of English \nWe present a translation and analysis of the earliest known Scandinavian response to the Vampire phenomenon of Medvedia in 1732 by Nicolaus Boye\, a state-employed physician residing in Stockholm. The translation shows that Boye’s own article\, which constitutes a complete refutation of Johann Flückinger’s claims\, was meticulously organised\, abstracting and arguing against the major themes which he observed in the Visum et Repertum\, while the analysis shows that Boye was working under the topical medical theories of the Dutch botanist and physician Herman Boerhaave. The analysis also demonstrates the extent to which Boye’s rationalism in refuting the Visum at Repertum is informed by his Lutheranism and belief in the Day of Judgement\, and concludes by showing examples of the impact his work exerted on other academics in the 1730s. \n  \nThe Politics of Punctuation \nNick Groom \nDepartment of English \nThis paper explains how the neglected area of punctuation can reveal important connections between politics and literature. I focus on ‘Gothic’ novels\, which often combine found documents with the direct and indirect speech of unreliable narrators\, as well as including stories-within-stories\, fragmentary or illegible writings\, rumours\, riddles\, folklore\, and obscure dialect. These texts are also\, of course\, characterized by the supernatural\, whether manifest or implied. In representing these knotty plot twists\, Gothic writers often seem self-consciously experimental in their use of punctuation\, using\, for example\, ellipses\, asterisks\, dashes of various lengths\, parentheses\, and exclamations. \nThese insistent punctuation effects are consequently interpreted as reflecting typical Gothic themes of incarceration and claustrophobia\, confusion and uncertainty – the tangled sentences winding like labyrinthine passages beneath a crumbling castle or overgrown paths through a dark forest. However\, such punctuation already had a substantial pedigree in political satire and the emergent ‘Whig’ (liberal) ideology\, as well as in scholarly editing. Political thinking had established this idiosyncratic form of punctuation\, and it had very specific associations with English constitutional history\, European cultural heritage\, and contemporary artistic creativity – and it was these pre-existent punctuation codes that became adopted by later ‘Gothic’ writers to position their work in political and intellectual contexts. In doing so\, punctuation helped to define the Gothic.

SUMMARY:FAH-DPORT: International Colloquium "Belated\, beyond and out of place? Avant-garde movements in non-hegemonic contexts"
DESCRIPTION:  \n \n \nThe Department of Portuguese if FAH is pleased to invite all those interested to the International Colloquium  “Belated\, beyond and out of place? Avant-garde movements in non-hegemonic contexts”\, being held on November 23 to 25\, 2022\, via Zoom. \n  \nColloquium Info \nThe first decades of the 20th century witnessed the emergence of the historical avant-gardes. Their center of creation and above all diffusion was undisputed: European avant-garde groups spread the good news of aesthetic and political transgressions\, ranging from new artistic forms\, materials and conceptions to an everyday art of performance\, mixing in an ideally undistinguishable manner art and life. \nThe worldwide presence of the European avant-garde movements would not have been possible without a series of new means of communication and transportation. On the one hand\, the news could achieve transnational audiences through radio waves\, transatlantic telegraph cables\, a network of magazines and journals\, pamphlets and manifestoes\, faster international courier services\, and last but not least the cinema and its powerful grip on the collective unconscious. On the other\, swift transatlantic lines\, expedite train travels and adventurous although much rarer airplane voyages allowed for an authentic procession of artists\, writers and intellectuals from Europe to virtually all corners of the globe. \nHow did the materiality of those new means of communication and transportation impact the aesthetic production in non-hegemonic cultures and political contexts? How did this materiality implied an unprecedented sense of simultaneity\, which in its turn turned upside-down traditional 19th-century notions such as belatedness\, backwardness\, artistic and cultural legging? \n1922 has been consecrated as the annus mirabilis of Literary and Aesthetic Modernism. A century later this research project aims at writing a new history of the avant-garde movements through a Cubist approach and perspective\, weaving together different times and places\, cultures and historical traditions. \nCOLLOQUIUM CATALOG \nLIST OF SPEAKERS AND PRESENTATION TITLES \n\nDavid Jackson (Yale University)  – Brazilian Concrete Poetry and the appropriation of hegemony\nZhang Longxi (City University of Hong Kong) – Borges and China: Affinities and Influence\nOttmar Ette (Potsdam University) – Avant-Gards and transcultural exchange or Vicente Huidobro‘s oscillation between Spanish and French\nCaetano Galindo (Federal University of Paraná) – Nostalgic for the “Nostos”: will Joyce’s Ulysses ever cease to be out of place?\nRen Haiyan (Hunan Normal University) – The Re-location of Robinson Crusoe in China: Global Context and Local Dynamics\nPablo Rocca (Universidad de la República – Uruguay) – Avant-Garde and Nativism in Uruguayan literature (Some features and the critical reception of Jorge Luis Borges).\nMarilia Librandi (Princeton University) – Indigenous Critique to Brazilian Modernism: Collage of Cosmopolitical Citations\nJorge Federico Márquez Muñoz (Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México – UNAM) – Political Sciences in Latin America and the notions of Backwardness and Underdevelopment\nSandra Vasconcelos (University of São Paulo – USP) – Reading the History of the Novel from the Periphery of Capitalism\nJoão Cezar de Castro Rocha (State University of Rio de Janeiro) – Belated\, beyond and out of place?

SUMMARY:Double Presence: A New Study of Relationships Between the Leonardo da Vinci's Knots and the Frescoes of the sala delle Asse of the Sforza Castle in Milan
DESCRIPTION:摘要：達•芬奇筆下一系列稱作“芬奇結”的繩結裝飾，長期以來被當作達•芬奇個人創造性的符號而著稱於世。新近的研究更把它們與達•芬奇家鄉“芬奇鎮”的“柳條編織業”聯繫起來，賦予其本地物質文化特產的出身。本文一方面指出這些歸屬的不當之處，在於其有意無意地忽視了這些繩結裝飾具有的跨文化淵源，即其與近東伊斯蘭黃銅鑲嵌銅器等器物裝飾圖案的借鑒關係。另一方面更進一步地探討這些伊斯蘭圖案與達•芬奇設計的米蘭斯福爾扎城堡木板廳壁畫之間的跨媒介聯繫；揭示壁畫中隱藏於贊助人政治意圖之下的創作者個人語義，以及文藝復興藝術風格之下存在著源自近東與遠東藝術異域風格的“雙重在場”現象。 \n報名 Registration: https://forms.gle/MmTPLJBVPbF4gmsv8 \n

Macao poetry originated in Ming Wanli period\, and it began to appear the local scholars until Qing Qianlong period. From now on\, an objective literary scene was formed by foreigners and local scholars. On the other hand\, since the content of Macao’s poems was complex\, there was full of Western imagery\, recitation of Chinese traditional things with diverse styles and forming a specific “literary landscape”. The Macao poetry was formed by the feelings and thoughts of people living in Macao\, and also the tortuous and true reflection of Macao’s history. \n  \n從蒲松齡到北島：淺議葡語國家的中國文學翻譯 \n姚京明Yao Jing Ming \nDepartment of Portuguese \n本講座結合最近在巴西出版的兩本由我主編的譯著《我不相信雷的迴聲——北島詩選》和《聊齋誌異》，漫談近些年來中國文學在葡語國家，特別是巴西和葡萄牙的翻譯情況。 \n  \n淺論江淹對左思《詠史》的模擬與接受 \n張月Zhang Yue \n中國語言文學系Department of Chinese Language and Literature \n本論文在前賢研究的基礎上，通過文本細讀、互文性與接受史的方法、視角來重新解讀江淹對左思《詠史》八首的擬作，側重江淹在表達方式、主題、思想等方面對左思詩歌精神內核的把握以及該擬詩在學術史、詠史詩發展史中的重要意義。 \n  \nWho Speaks for Nature? Genre\, Gender and the Eco-translation of Chinese Wild Animals \nYou Chengcheng \nDepartment of English \nWild animal stories\, as a literary genre\, often oscillate between authentic representations of animal behaviours and various degrees of anthropomorphic projection. The study identifies how the voices of wild animals are articulated in two contrasting Chinese wild animal stories\, Shixi Shen’s Jackal and Wolf (2012) and Gerelchimeg Blackcrane’s Black Flame (2013)\, and how culture-specific understandings of genre\, gender and environmental education are negotiated in the published translations. Informed by Michael Cronin’s model of “eco-translation” and David Herman’s “narratology beyond the human\,” it argues that the eco-translation of the source texts is mainly manifested in the reduction of gender stereotypes and sentimental anthropomorphism\, problematisation of genetic descriptions and reappropriation of non-fictional texts. These strategic interventions enhance eco-translation’s potential as an anti-anthropocentric narratology\, a co-authored life writing that recognises the generic ambivalence within animal storytelling practice and further speaks for nature with more conscious allocation of agency across the species lines. \n  \nSession分組1B:\nHistory & Language 歷史 & 語言\nThe Zhang on Chinese Southern Frontiers: Disease Constructions 中国历史上的瘴 \nYang Bin \nDepartment of History \nAdopting a historicalist-conceptualist approach\, this article scrutinizes from a longue durée perspective the Chinese disease-concept zhang\, which refers to a group of tropical and subtropical diseases on Chinese southern frontiers. It firstly reviews how the Chinese literati created and employed the term to set the southern\, non-Han peoples culturally apart\, followed by an analysis of the zhang diseases and their treatment in Chinese traditional medicine. Then the article turns to the question of how the zhang diseases constituted as an ecological barrier that hindered Chinese southern expansions\, illustrated by the Sino-Burmese War (1765–70). Finally\, the case of Yunnan during the Ming-Qing period (1368–1912) will be examined to reveal how Chinese colonization reduced the instances of the zhang\, at least reflected in imperial texts. In sum\, the Chinese notion of the zhang diseases as a distinct group interplayed with Chinese frontier process and empire-building\, and may shed light on both the Chinese march toward the tropics in a broad context and the transformation of Chinese civilization over the lounge duree. \n  \nLiterary Plunder: The Making and Unmaking of Tipu Sultan’s Library \nJoshua  Ehrlich \nDepartment of History \nThe library of Tipu Sultan\, Sultan of Mysore (r. 1782–99) was once among the richest in South Asia\, if not in the world. It contained as many as four thousand books and manuscripts\, on a wide range of subjects and in numerous languages\, Asian and European. Many of these works were beautifully illustrated and had belonged to a series of distinguished owners previously. Amassed largely through plunder\, the library was plundered in turn by the British East India Company in 1799. In this talk\, Joshua Ehrlich\, Assistant Professor of History\, will explore how Tipu Sultan used the library to legitimize his rule\, as well as how rival factions within the Company sought to do the same. Finally\, he will discuss what the fortunes of Tipu’s library reveal about the enduring symbolic power of plunder and the complex meanings of libraries. \n  \nFraming the epidemic by WAR metaphors in the Macao Daily News – Lexis\, themes\, and frames for persuasion \nVincent  Wang \nDepartment of English \nThe study investigates the use of metaphors in a leading conventional media of Macao for covering epidemic related matters. We discovered that WAR metaphors have been primarily used in the reports of the Macao Daily News\, and have identified the three sets of lexical expressions for realising the metaphors. The main themes delivered by the WAR metaphors include describing the gravity of the situation\, communicating anti-epidemic measures\, and calling for joint efforts. In addition\, the persuasion of the call for actions is examined in terms of the gain/loss frames and the collectivism appeal. The results are discussed in relation to effective health communication and the interplay between the collective gain versus the individual loss in the context of war. \n  \n從語言接觸看“式”的語義演變 \n王銘宇Wang Mingyu \n中國語言文學系Department of Chinese Language and Literature \nTBA \n  \n基於背襯優先的聯繫項左側優勢：漢語述謂結構配置的動因及後果 Motivation and Consequence of Chinese Left-side-relator Priority: Ground-preference Cognitive Pattern Underlying Predication Accommodation \n陳忠Chen Zhong \n中國語言文學系Department of Chinese Language and Literature \n眾所周知，漢語的主導語序是介詞及其引介的部分賓語前置。這自然引發下列問題：是什麼因素促成漢語介詞結構前置？為了回答這些問題，我們探索漢語語序背後導致語序競爭的認知方式。我們的討論主要集中於下列幾個方面： \n1）揭示誘發述謂結構語序配置的關鍵要素； \n2）探析聯繫項左側優勢以及如何影響介詞及其聯繫的受事賓語依句法位置而變化的組合能力； \n3）聯繫項左側優勢帶來的後果：迫使處置式的介詞聯繫的受事賓語前置於謂語動詞。 \n總之，該研究通過探索漢語述謂結構變數配置，有助於深度理解認知方式與句法組織互動關係，加深我們立足於多變數視角對於漢語特徵的理解，這一點被以往的研究者所忽略。 \nIt’s widely known that Chinese language is characterized by a notable ordering of preposed preposition together with some objects in a sentence. Consequently\, the following question arises naturally:  what motivated Chinese to prepose its prepositional structure? In order to answer such question\, we aim to explore Chinese word order motivation in light of cognitive pattern which underlies the multivariable word order competition. \nThis discussion mainly focuses on: \n1）the key factors that affect the ordering of predication accommodation; \n2）the reason of Left-side-relator Priority\, and the way of how Left-side-relator Priority affects the preposition and some patient-objects in terms of their position-relied collocational ability syntactic position; \n3)  aftermath of Left-side-relator Priority\, which determines the prepositional structures with their patient-object being put prior to the predication verb in disposal constructions. \nIn summary\, this research explores the variable that restrict Chinese predication accommodation\, which provide an in-depth comprehension of the interaction between syntactic organization and cognitive pattern\, deepening our comprehensive understanding into Chinese idiosyncrasy from a multivariable perspective which was previously neglected by most researchers. \n  \nSession分組2A:\nLiterature & Education\n文學 & 教育\n  \nSlaying Vampires in Eighteenth-Century Sweden \nDamian  Shaw & Matthew Gibson \nDepartment of English \nDamian Shaw will present a summary and translation from the Latin of an important early medical lecture on vampires by Nils Retzius. The lecture was delivered in Sweden\, at Lund University\, in 1737\, and was published almost immediately thereafter. This important text has been overlooked by modern scholars of vampires. This article will bring the lecture back into circulation in its first English translation. Matthew Gibson then offers an analysis of the intellectual background to this rational debunking of vampires. He demonstrates how Retzius’s attempt at a comprehensive rational explanation for vampires\, typical of much Enlightenment thinking\, nevertheless employs a fusion of Galenic medical thinking with more modern medical and psychosomatic notions of medicine\, as well as certain Lutheran notions concerning the devil and the spirit world. His argument scotches the belief in the idea of sympathetic magic affecting the dreams of the living\, while emphasizing the psychosomatic effects of the imagination on the physical body. \n  \n  \nA Cartography of the regard: exile\, images and intertextualities in Portuguese Literature \nDora  Nunes Gago \nDepartment of Portuguese \nThis study focuses on the representation of migratory journeys and the exilic experience in Portuguese literature\, although starting from a comparatist view intersecting imagology (Pageaux\, Leerssen\, Beller…) and other theories suitable for analysing the phenomena of exile (Said\, Nouss\, Gutty and others) . Such journeys and experience are increasingly important in today’s society which has become more and more marked by displacement and rootlessness. On this theme\, works are analysed by Rodrigues Miguéis\, Ferreira de Castro\, Jorge de Sena\, Maria Ondina Braga\, Agustina Bessa-Luís\, Rodrigo Leal de Carvalho and Fernanda Dias \nIn sum\, these are authors who despite their undeniable relevance are somewhat forgotten voices within the panorama of Portuguese literature who it is important to rescue from silence and whose lessons about humanity are important to discover and recognise. Along with them are\, for example\, the Brazilian poet Carlos Drummond de Andrade and Ling\, Ling the Macanese writer of Chinese origin\, who are evoked through the relations and dialogues woven by intertextuality and the relationship between different cultures. \n  \nRepairing Repair: Affective Temporalities and the Practice of Reparative Reading \nJeremy De Chavez \nDepartment of English \nThis paper examines the consequences of paranoia being infrastructural to postcolonial studies as it speculates on what it might mean for postcolonial critique to strategically conscript reparativity to inform its reception of texts from the postcolony. Against the critical position that argues that reparativity is fundamentally incompatible with postcolonial critique for it is “deeply implicated in colonial\, settler colonial\, and imperialist histories” (Stuelke 11)\, I suggest that advocating for reparativity need not be an abdication of the ethico-political commitments of postcolonial critique—on the contrary\, it potentially enables an alternative way to realize them. This paper will argue that reparative approaches\, which are attentive to textures\, tones\, and affective impulses\, cultivates attentiveness to the temporal mechanisms of worlding of a literary text—or the power of the literary text to open up other worlds through the force of time—in the historical present. I suggest that it is this mode of reading that is most compatible with Pheng Cheah’s concept of world literature as a temporal\, instead of as a spatio-geographical\, category; that is to say\, reparativity is an interpretative practice that renders discernible the heterotemporalities in literary texts that Cheah consider so crucial to the processes of worlding that literary works enact. \n  \nUnderstanding the role of information literacy in writing in the higher education context \nYU Chengyuan  (PHD student) \nDepartment of English \nIn the age of information abundance\, writing is inevitably associated with information literacy\, especially in the context of higher education (HE) where the purpose of writing is to communicate with creators of prior knowledge and construct new knowledge. However\, little research has empirically investigated the role of information literacy in writing in HE. To fill this gap\, the present study adopted an exploratory mixed methods design to interview graduate students\, faculty members\, information specialists\, and writing experts\, develop and validate a multidimensional self-assessment scale based on the interviews\, and use this scale to examine the role of information literacy in writing. The findings reveal that information literacy and academic writing are highly correlated in HE and these two competencies are cognitive\, social\, metacognitive\, and emotional. A four-dimensional (cognitive\, social\, metacognitive\, and emotional) information-based academic model is thus proposed to capture the nature of writing in HE. \n  \nSession分組2B:\nLinguistics 語言學\nSpecial Language Domain \nJie Xu \nDepartment of Chinese Language and Literature \n“Special Language Domain” (SLD) refers to domains or areas of language use in which linguistic rules may be violated legitimately. SLD is very similar to well-known “free trade zone”\, “special administrative region”\, and “special economic zone” in which tariff\, executive\, and economic regulations may be violated respectively legitimately to a certain extent. Innovative use in SLD is another major resource for language evolution and language change alongside with language contact and language acquisition since some of the temporary and innovative forms of usage in SLD may go beyond SLD at a later stage\, developing to be part of the core system of linguistic rules. Focusing on relevant grammatical phenomena observed in the Chinese language\, this article makes a generalization that poetry in various forms\, title and slogan\, and internet language are the three major types of SLD\, and their violation of linguistic rules are motivated differently. Furthermore\, although core linguistic rules may be violated in SLD\, but the violations are yet subject to certain limit and restriction. What could be violated legitimately in SLD are only those language-particular rules\, whereas the principles of Universal Grammar applicable generally for all human languages have to be observed whatsoever even in SLD. The study of Special Language Domain provides an ideal and fascinating window for linguists to understand language mechanism\, to explain historical change of language\, and plausibly to predict the future direction of language evolution. \n  \nCaused-motion Constructions: a Cognitive Constructional Perspective \nRonald Fong \nTBA \n  \nAuthenticity in Pop Culture Englishes: Listening to the Beatles Perform Rhoticity \nAndrew Moody \nDepartment of English \nPeter Trudgill’s (1983) landmark analysis of the influence of American English upon British pop song pronunciation argues that British pop/rock acts in the 1960s — especially The Beatles and The Rolling Stones — had progressively changed their pronunciation styles from ‘American English’ to ‘British English’ over the decade. This presentation will report on attempts to replicate Trudgill’s original phonetic data for non-prevocalic /r/ and critically examine and challenge Trudgill’s conclusion that the shift in pronunciation style represented a development of British identity within popular music. Shifting goals of authenticity (balanced against the authority of a media standard) within the performance of dialect in song account for development of British pronunciation across The Beatles’s album catalogue. Consequently\, accent performance is related to a much more complex range of factors\, such as musical genre\, performer’s identity or fans’ perception. \n  \nWE in ME: The Pragmatic Functions of English Lyrics in Macao Original Cantopop Songs in 2016-2021 \nAlan Chan \nEnglish Language Centre \nMacao English (ME) is an important medium of communication permeating the communities\, among which popular music in Cantonese (Cantopop) is one where Englishization via Cantonese-English code-switching is seen as a norm. Under the prevalence of World Englishes (WE)\, frameworks for analysing code-switching in pop culture were launched for better theoretical explanation to the phenomenon (e.g.\, Chan\, 2009; Li\, 2002; Lin\, 2009). Despite the established effort of previous studies about Englishization in languages under various contexts\, Cantopop is still in its infancy\, and rarely are data gathered in Macao context. In view of this\, a mixed-methods approach was adopted with analysis of 15 award-winning songs of a local music awards in the recent five years\, together with interpretation obtained from surveys\, semi-structured interviews and a focus-group interview with members of the music circle and the general public. The result indicated that English in Macao Cantopop is most often perceived to carry the function of aesthetic effects\, expedience\, conveying thematic meanings\, avoiding embarrassment\, and emphasis of emotions. Moreover\, different positions and formats of code-switching between lyrics can bring about different pragmatic effects. This research offers a more comprehensive picture of Cantonese-English code-switching in Macao Cantopop with different aspects observed and details given. \n  \nSession分組3A:\nPhilosophy 哲學\n  \nFrom Coastal to River Valley: On the Changing Cultural Manifestations of Macao in terms of Hegel’s and Watsuji’s studies of Fudo \nTam Ka Pok \nDepartment of Philosophy and Religious Studies \nIn Hegel’s Lectures on the Philosophy of World-History\, Hegel suggests three geographical categories where the cultural self-consciousness (known as ‘cultural spirit’ or ‘cultural self-consciousness’) is manifested: highlands\, river valleys\, and the coastal region. Hegel’s observation is acknowledged by Watsuji Tetsuro\, who argues that cultures manifest their self-consciousness in Fudo (風土) and divide Fudo into three categories in terms of climate: desert\, meadow and monsoon. \nBy employing Hegel’s and Watsuji’s theories\, this paper argues that Macao has experienced a shift from manifesting cultural self-consciousness in the sea into manifesting in Pearl river waterway in the late nineteenth century to early twentieth century (from 1842 the Opium War to 1937 the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War) when Macao was replaced by Hong Kong as an international entrepôt\, as Macao had lost its role as a maritime in-betweener between China and the West and became more integrated to the West River transportation networks. \n  \nThe Self-Contradictions of Authenticity \nHans-Georg  Moeller \nDepartment of Philosophy and Religious Studies \nThe claim to authenticity has been at the centre of a defining the notion of human identity since the Enlightenment period\, especially in Western societies. In opposition to orientation to social roles (e.g. traditional gender or professional roles)\, authenticity seeks individual uniqueness and originality and values creative “self-expression.” Philosophically\, and politically\, it is closely tied to notions of independence and autonomy. However\, authenticity is contradictory: We become “authentic” by conforming to the social demand to be “special.” This presentation will show how in contemporary society authenticity is “simulated” in the curation of personal or collective identity in the form of profiles. The inner contradictions\, and the impossibility of being authentic become increasingly obvious in the staging of authenticity in media\, politics\, and business. \n  \nSession分組3B:\nTranslation & Linguistics\n翻譯 & 語言學\n  \nExecutive Functions in Cross-lingual Processing: A Neurocognitive Investigation \nLi Defeng (FAH) \, Ruey-Song Huang (FST)\, Victoria Lei(FAH)\, Nevia Dolcini(FAH)\, Ana Nunes (FAH) \nMacau is a multilingual and multicultural society. At the core of the multilingualism is how different languages are processed within the same language or between different languages\, across different modes (e.g. listening\, speaking\, reading)\, in the form of monolingual processing\, language switching and interlingual transfer as in simultaneous interpreting. In all these language activities\, executive functions is known to play a pivotal role in verbal reception and comprehension\, verbal production and language switching and transfer. In fact\, enhanced EF is often seen as the cognitive benefit of bilinguals and translators/interpreters. However\, whether there is indeed a so-called bilingual advantage has been a topic of controversies for decades. Several top journals\, such as the Journal of Cognitive Psychology\, Applied Psycholinguistics\, Bilingualism: Language & Cognition\, AIMS Neuroscience\, and Cortex\, have devoted special issues addressing this contention. Nature also carried an article in 2019 arguing against the existence of a bilingual advantage. Nevertheless\, no definitive conclusions have been drawn yet\, partly because the variations in the research designs of previous studies made sensible comparison of the findings almost impossible and partly because some designs were seriously flawed. We therefore would like to join this debate by introducing the newest technology of fMRI\, improved methodology (use of surface-based brain atlases) and more stringent control of research variables. \nThe study will consist of three phrases\, mapping\, interacting and changing. The major research instruments will be fMRI and eye-trackers in isolation and fusion respectively. A total of 600 scans will be made on approximately 300 subjects of varying linguistic backgrounds and combinations when they are engaged in different modes of language processing\, e.g. reading\, listening and speaking in Chinese (including Cantonese)\, English and Portuguese as well as simultaneous interpreting between either two of the three languages. \nIt is hoped that an online multilingual\, multimodal\, multi-group brain atlas database [surface-based\, functional] will be constructed with the brain images as the world’s very first surfaced-based brain atlas database and made available to brain scientists all over the world\, similar to the volume-based Allen Brain Atlas\, BrainMaps and BigBrain. It is also expected that with the access to the MRI and therefore the neuroimaging techniques \, and the unique resources (demographic characteristics\, a diverse education system)\, we will be in a stronger and privileged position to provide solid evidence to resolve the centennial debate of bilingual advantage as seen in Executive Functions. \n  \nMapping the interface between language and music: An fMRI  study \nVictoria L. C. Lei (FAH)\, Ruey-Song Huang (FST)\, Defeng Li (FAH)\, Nevia Dolcini (FAH) \nThe study seeks to map the interface between language and music in the human brain using state-of-the-art fMRI technology. The relationship between language and music\, the two abilities that distinguish humans and animals\, has been the topic of debate among thinkers since antiquity. Leonard Bernastein’s lectures at Harvard in the 1970s inspired comparisons between musical and linguistic structures. However\, the exploration of the music-language relation from the perspective of modern cognitive science only started this century. For instance\, Patel (2010) challenges the traditional belief that language and music are processed independently – the music functions mainly localized in the right hemisphere of the brain and language functions in the left hemisphere. Recent studies using neuroimaging technologies like ERP\, PET and fMRI have found commonalities as well as differences in neural representations of language processing and musical processing. However\, there is still no firm answer to the neural location of the shared resource networks for language and music. fMRI\, with its high spatial resolution\, is an excellent tool for locating brain activities. However\, the use of fMRI in neurocognitive investigation of language and music is limited due to various constrains of the technology\, namely the noise generated by the scanner and its intolerance of head motion. The interdisciplinary team at UM has found feasible solution to the problems\, making it possible to conduct experiments involving listening\, speaking\, singing and playing musical instrument in the scanner. Furthermore\, with the more advanced surface-based analysis\, we are in a good position of accurately locating the overlapping regions associated with music and language processing. Findings of the study may shed light on the origins and evolution of language\, as well as having implications on practical questions such as whether training in music have impact on language development\, including bilingual/multilingual development\, and vice versa; and whether the neuroprotective benefits of music are associated with language processing that require extreme cognitive control. \n  \nBorrowing or code-switching? the case of single-word English prepositions in Hong Kong Cantonese \nBrian Chan \nDepartment of English \nWith reference to two competing views about the distinction between single-word code-switches and lexical borrowing\, namely\, Poplack (2018) vs. Myers-Scotton (1992\, 1993)\, this paper examines the status of single-word English prepositions in Hong Kong Cantonese. A survey of a small dataset suggests that these English prepositions may bring along syntactic structures distinct of English into Cantonese\, but they may also be morphosyntactically integrated to Cantonese and behave as verbs or coverbs. Accordingly\, it is virtually impossible to pin down these prepositions as borrowing or code-switching based on morphosynactic integration (Poplack\, 2018). Neither are they directly inserted into a sentence morphosyntactically framed in Cantonese (Myers-Scotton\, 1992\, 1993)\, which has postpositions rather than prepositions. Taking the view that “languages” are not discrete systems and words of different “languages” are connected in a vast mental network\, it is suggested that the boundary between lexical borrowing and single-word code-switching has to be fuzzy (Matras\, 2009). Freed from such distinction\, degrees of morphosyntactic integration in single-word transfer or replication (i.e. borrowing/ code-switching) can be seen as a function of the word class of the transferred/replicated word due to different strengths in which a word is associated with morphosyntactic patterns of its respective language and its equivalent in the native/recipient language.

In the second half of the workshop\, the facilitator will share some tips in preparing a teaching portfolio with the aim of helping participants tell their own stories as teachers through that document. \nPlease register for the workshop by 5 Dec 2021 (Sun) via https://umac.au1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_6gQefKj9TNQGdIG

SUMMARY:Celebrating the 40th Anniversary of the University of Macau: Macao Humanities Forum by Professor Fu Gang from Peking University
DESCRIPTION:The Faculty of Arts and Humanities (FAH) is going to organize the 1st Lecture of the FAH Macao Humanities Forum (2021/2022) on 3 Dec 2021. The forum aims to provide a platform for world-renowned scholars from diverse humanities fields to share their research with the FAH community and other UM scholars. All members of the UM community are cordially invited to this splendid event. \nIn this upcoming forum\, we are honored to have Professor FU Gang deliver a lecture on the topic “How do we understand pre-Qin literature and documents? (如何認識先秦文學與文獻).” Professor Fu is a Distinguished Professor of Liberal Arts of Peking University\, a leading scholar on pre-Qin literature\, and President of the Chinese Wen Xuan Literary Research Association. His representative works include History of Poetry in the Wei\, Jin\, Southern and Northern Dynasties\, Research on the Selections of Refined Literature (Wen Xuan)\, Research on Editions of Wen Xuan\, Commentary on the Biography of Xiao Tong (co-authored)\, New Songs from the Jade Terrace and Southern Dynasty\, as well as Studies on Literature and Documents of the Han\, Wei\, and Six Dynasties. \n  \nDetails of the forum are as follows:\nSpeaker: Professor FU Gang\nDate: 3 Dec 2021 (Friday)\nTime: 10:30 am – 12:00 pm\nVenue: Zoom\nLanguage: Mandarin (with simultaneous interpretation in English)\nTopic: How do we understand pre-Qin literature and documents?\nThe study of pre-Qin literature begins with solving the problem of documents. Unlike later dynasties\, pre-Qin is divided into the Xia\, Shang\, Zhou\, Eastern Zhou\, and Warring States stages. In each stage\, the nature and characteristics of the documents were different\, and could not be summarized in general terms. There was no clear division of disciplines in the pre-Qin period\, and the discipline of literature was not established; therefore\, it is not possible to conduct research on the concept of post-Qin literature. In today’s academic research in literature\, history\, and philosophy\, it is necessary to understand the nature and characteristics of pre-Qin literature. \n  \nThe lecture will be conducted in Mandarin with simultaneous interpretation into English. Please register for the forum by 1 Dec 2021 (Wed) via https://umac.au1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_9NVi6G3QVUBcK90 \n  \nFor more information\, kindly refer to the below poster.

SUMMARY:Celebrating the 40th Anniversary of the University of Macau: Macao Humanities Forum#2 by Professor Gongkai PAN
DESCRIPTION:The Faculty of Arts and Humanities (FAH) is going to organize the 2nd Macao Humanities Forum on 15 April 2021 (Thursday). The forum will provide a platform for world-renowned scholars of different research fields to share their research with us.
