Universidade de São José

Prezados professores, estudantes e parceiros,
O Departamento de Português da Universidade de Macau e o Departamento de Línguas e Cultura da Universidade de São José realizarão o seminário híbrido “PLURI 2023 – Português como Língua Pluricêntrica: conceitos e implicações em sala de aula”, a ter lugar em Macau, China, entre 28 e 30 de abril de 2023.
O seminário conta com o apoio do Instituto Guimarães Rosa (IGR) do Ministério das Relações Exteriores do Brasil (MRE), do Consulado-Geral do Brasil em Hong Kong e do Instituto Português do Oriente (IPOR), e com as parcerias do Instituto Internacional da Língua Portuguesa (IILP), do Centro de Linguística da Universidade do Porto (CLUP), do Observatório de Português Língua Estrangeira/Segunda Língua, da Cátedra UNESCO em Políticas Linguísticas para o Multilinguismo e da Casa do Brasil em Macau.
O PLURI-2023 é sobretudo uma plataforma para a formação de professores. Busca oferecer um espaço de reflexões teórico-práticas sobre ensino com base em conceitos contemporâneos de língua, cultura, identidade e comunidades. Esperamos, assim, partilhar ideias e práticas com professores de diferentes níveis de ensino.
O eixo norteador será a discussão da concepção do Português como Língua Pluricêntrica. O conceito de pluricentrismo, ao mesmo tempo em que abriu espaço para legitimar as diferentes variedades das línguas, trouxe ainda vestígios de uma linguística fundada em modelos centro-periféricos, típicos de epistemologias coloniais que continuam situando algumas línguas e as suas comunidades em lugares desprivilegiados. Nesse sentido, o encontro busca refletir sobre o conceito e discutir o seu impacto e a sua aplicação prática nas salas de aula da contemporaneidade. Apesar das discussões promovidas pelo conceito, observa-se que nas salas de aula a diversidade da língua portuguesa torna-se invisível na maioria dos espaços de ensino.
O encontro será uma oportunidade para profissionais em geral, professores em especial e estudantes de graduação e de pós-graduação manterem-se atualizados com as tendências atuais da pesquisa em torno da língua portuguesa com conferências, painéis, rodas de conversa, comunicações e oficinas.
As ideias e trabalhos debatidos no evento ganharão diferentes formatos de publicação:

Publicações online das sessões plenárias;
Livro em coedição com editoras de prestígio internacional (com comissão editorial e peer review);
Número especial de uma revista Qualis A cujo tema preliminar é “Reavaliando o conceito de pluricentrismo e as suas implicações em sala de aula”.

Eixos temáticos – não limitado a apenas estes

Conceito de pluricentrismo: discussão das bases do conceito e das interpretações que recebe nas práticas de sala de aula;
Pluricentrismo e os currículos para ensino de língua portuguesa: desafios e necessidades contemporâneos;
Variedades de português e a formação de professores, tradutores e intérpretes;
Ensino de língua portuguesa em uma perspectiva pluridiversa: reflexões e atividades para a prática de sala de aula.

DATAS IMPORTANTES:
Até 01 de abril – INSCRIÇÃO COM APRESENTAÇÃO DE COMUNICAÇÃO
Até 10 de abril – INSCRIÇÃO COMO OUVINTE (presencial/a distância)
Obs.: Professores da rede de ensino não-superior de Macau poderão participar e receber certificados que contam como ação de formação (com descrição das atividades e número de horas).

Incentivamos professores de todos os níveis de ensino a virem partilhar suas experiências concretas! Inscrevam-se e apresentem comunicações com as suas vivências de trabalho! Todos são bem-vindos!

FAH/DPHIL Lecture Series – “Evil and the Problem of Impermanence in Japanese Philosophy” by Prof. Yujin Nagasawa, University of Birmingham, UK
2023-04-12 17:30 - 19:00 | E21A-3118
Zoom: https://umac.zoom.us/j/97086925839
Password: [REDACTED]

Abstract
The problem of evil is widely considered a problem only for traditional Western monotheists who believe that there is an omnipotent and morally perfect God. I argue, however, that the problem of evil, more specifically a variant of the problem of evil which I call the ‘problem of impermanence’, arises even for those adhering to the philosophical and religious traditions of the East. I analyse and assess various responses to the problem of impermanence found in medieval Japanese literature. I argue that the only response that is potentially satisfactory requires supernaturalism. I conclude, therefore, that the problem of impermanence is a unique problem posing a greater challenge to naturalists than to supernaturalists.

Bio
Yujin Nagasawa is H. G. Wood Professor of the Philosophy of Religion and Co-Director of the Birmingham Centre for Philosophy of Religion at the University of Birmingham. He is the author of Maximal God: A New Defence of Perfect Being Theism (OUP 2017), Miracles: A Very Short Introduction (OUP 2017), The Existence of God: A Philosophical Introduction (Routledge 2011) and God and Phenomenal Consciousness (CUP 2008).

FAH-DPORT-CIELA: Guest Lectures about World Varieties of Portuguese-Based Contact Languages
2023-04-12 20:00 - 2023-04-17 22:00 | By Zoom or on site at E21-3121
The Research Center for Luso-Asian Studies (CIELA), University of Macau, will hold two guest lectures given by Professor Shirley Freitas (UNILAB). The first will address linguistic aspects (focusing specifically on phonetic-phonological aspects) of the Kabuverdianu language of Príncipe Island. The second looks at socio-historical and linguistic aspects of the Portuguese language in Cape Verde, Guinea-Bissau and São Tomé and Prince. Professor Freitas will be delivering the talks on site, but the session will also be streamed live via ZOOM. Both sessions will be held entirely in Portuguese.
ABSTRACTS:

The kabuverdianu of Príncipe Island (12/04/23) 8:00pm (Macao time) or 09:00am (Brazil time)

The migration of Cape Verdeans to work in the cocoa and coffee plantations of São Tomé and Príncipe (STP) began at the end of the 19th century and, over the years, the Cape Verdean community became significant in the archipelago. General aspects of this migration will be addressed, as well as the reflections of the arrival of Cape Verdeans in the complex linguistic ecology of STP. Thus, the conference will focus on the Kabuverdianu language spoken on Príncipe Island, off the west coast of Africa. Moving on to the discussion of linguistic aspects, the focus will be on the phonetic-phonological aspects, comparing data from Príncipe Island with those from Santiago Island (Cape Verde), the departure point of most Cape Verdean migrants to STP.

Portuguese in three former Portuguese colonies in Africa: sociohistorical and linguistic aspects (17/04/23) 8:00pm (Macao time) or 09:00am (Brazil time)

The conference will address the situation of the Portuguese language in three former colonies of Portugal: Cape Verde, Guinea-Bissau and São Tomé and Príncipe. Thus, the objective is to discuss the convergent and singular points of these regions. Initially, we will address the socio-historical context of colonization in each country, then move on to the linguistic situation and the space occupied by Portuguese (official language of the three countries). Linguistic aspects of the Portuguese spoken in each country, at different levels, will also be presented, from the perspective of their contribution to the understanding that these are three distinct and diverse varieties and not just a reflection of European Portuguese.

SHORT BIO OF INVITED SPEAKER
Professor Shirley Freitas is an Adjunct Professor at the University of International Integration of Afro-Brazilian Lusophony (UNILAB) and at the Graduate Program in Language and Culture at the Federal University of Bahia (UFBA). Her BA is from the Federal University of Bahia (2010) and her PhD in Arts and Humanities from the University of São Paulo (2016). Her studies focus especially on Portuguese in the Atlantic islands of former Portuguese colonization and on Kabuverdianu, Guinean and Papiamentu.

FAH-DENG Guest Lecture: 'Unlocking the Power of “Big” Interpreting Data: Insights from CEPIC and CETILC'
2023-04-13 20:00 - 21:30 | E21A-G049
Abstract: With the rapid advancement of technology and increased accessibility for interpreting data, the field of corpus-based interpreting studies (CIS) has seen great leaps and bounds in multiple aspects from the stage of data collection, processing, to analysis and visualisation, as well as data sharing. These advancements have significantly expanded and improved our knowledge of this complex human activity crucial to modern communication. What then, will be the main challenges and prospects for this field to move forward? Why should we start to “mine” interpreting data? How can we do it? What are the potential obstacles and pitfalls that we should prevent from happening?
In this talk, the speaker will share her experience of developing a couple of (open-access) mega-size corpora in interpreting, i.e. the Chinese/English Political Interpreting Corpus (CEPIC, over 6 million word tokens), and the Hong Kong Learner Translation and Interpreting Corpora (HKLTIC) set (including the Chinese/English Translation and Interpreting Learner Corpus [CETILC], estimated to reach 1 million word tokens). The data preparation and analysis processes of these corpora will be introduced, and compared with the steps and methods of data mining in computer science. A short workshop introducing the use of CEPIC will be provided.
The talk will end with an interactive dialogue with the audience to explore ways to share, exchange and collaboratively explore data in a possible era of interpreting data “mining”. This dialogue will help to shed light on the future prospects and challenges of the field, illustrating the importance of collaboration and innovation in this fascinating and complex area of research.

Biography: Dr. Jun PAN is an 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.

SETA – 2023
SEMINÁ RIO DE TESES EM ANDAMENTO
19 de Abril de 2023
LIVRO DO SETA (PROGRAMAÇÃO E RESUMOS)

Convite: Apresentação de Projeto Acadêmico
Caros alunos dos Programas de Mestrado e Doutorado do Departamento de Português,
Como parte das atividades de formação de pesquisadores, a apresentação de trabalhos científicos em seminários e congressos acadêmicos é uma experiência fundamental. Nestes encontros, jovens e experientes investigadores têm a oportunidade de colaborar ativamente com pesquisas em andamento, o que permite um contínuo e necessário aprimoramento tanto das pesquisas quanto das áreas científico-acadêmicas envolvidas.
O Departamento de Português está, então, propondo mais uma vez o Seminário de Teses em Andamento (SETA – 2023). Neste evento, os estudantes de pós-graduação, em conjunto com os professores, terão a oportunidade de apresentar os seus trabalhos e colaborar com sugestões para o seu desenvolvimento.
Os mestrandos em fase de elaboração de tese (2º. ano) e os doutorandos (especialmente os que têm bolsas da Universidade, da Faculdade ou do Departamento) terão um espaço garantido para apresentar os seus projetos acadêmicos em Mesas Redondas. Todos os alunos em fase inicial de estudos (1º. ano) terão a possibilidade de interagir com colegas e professores, através das sessões de debate, com o objetivo de conhecer diferentes áreas de estudos do Departamento. Dessa forma, estaremos todos envolvidos.
Abaixo seguem informações gerais.

1 – Objetivos
O SETA – 2023 tem como objetivos:

Proporcionar a oportunidade aos alunos de mestrado e doutorado de divulgar os seus trabalhos em desenvolvimento no âmbito dos programas de mestrado e doutorado em linguística, literatura, tradução e estudos históricos e interculturais do Departamento de Português
Promover a troca de informações e o debate acadêmico entre alunos e professores, a fim de serem partilhadas sugestões e orientações para o aprimoramento dos projetos acadêmicos que estão sendo desenvolvidos;
Divulgar as diferentes linhas de estudo contempladas pelos programas de pósgraduação;
Contribuir na preparação dos alunos para a organização e apresentação pública dos seus trabalhos;
Criar espaço para desenvolverem a sua competência linguístico-discursiva em língua portuguesa por meio do gênero acadêmico oral, habilidade fundamental para a defesa das suas teses.

2 – Organização geral (preliminar)
O SETA-2023 será organizado – preliminarmente – a partir de (uma) conferência(s) com experiente(s) pesquisador(es) e mesas redondas (constituídas pelos alunos). Cada projeto acadêmico será apresentado em uma mesa redonda – com temas afins e duração de 1h30m –, formada por 1 aluno presidente, 4 (ou 3, a depender das inscrições.) alunos apresentadores e 1 ou 2 professores debatedores.
Importante: a duração de cada apresentação será de 15 minutos.

3 – Procedimentos
Os alunos deverão, em conjunto com os seus orientadores e de acordo com a fase em que o projeto de tese está, preencher a “Ficha para Apresentação de Projeto Acadêmico“.
As fichas devem ser enviadas por email para o coordenador do evento, Professor Roberval Teixeira e Silva (robts@um.edu.mo), até no máximo dia 01 de Abril de 2023.
O título do email deve informar o nome do aluno, acompanhado do nome do evento. Por exemplo: “ZHANG Yi (Ana) – SETA-2023”.
Obs.: Sublinhamos que diferentes projetos estarão em diferentes fases: mais iniciais ou mais finais. Entretanto, é importante que todos os alunos, em fase de elaboração de tese, tenham a possibilidade de organizar e apresentar o seu trabalho, na etapa em que está, para partilhar com colegas e professores e receber a colaboração de todos.
Um trabalho acadêmico de alto nível é o resultado do empreendimento e cooperação de muitos profissionais!
Envidaremos esforços para que o evento seja um grande êxito no processo de formação de jovens pesquisadores do nosso Departamento!

FAH/DPHIL Lecture Series – “Class Traitors? The Assault on the Intellectuals’ Power in the Book of Lord Shang and Han Feizi” by Prof. Yuri Pines, Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel

Abstract
One of the most notable features of the Warring States-period (Zhanguo 戰國, 453-221 BCE) political discourse is the extraordinary self-confidence of the intellectually active members of the shi 士 (men-of-service) stratum. Having positioned themselves as collective possessors of the Way 道, these shi intellectuals claimed recognition as society’s and the rulers’ moral guides. One of the major ways of asserting their superiority vis-à-vis the rulers was through proliferation of historical (and quasi-historical) narratives that uniformly placed the rulers at the position of recipients of their advisers’ wisdom.
In my study I want to explore the counter-discourse aimed at undermining the intellectuals’ authority. Two texts are most notable in their systematic assault on fellow intellectuals. The Book of Lord Shang (Shangjunshu 商君書) was arguably the earliest major text to turn tables on intellectuals who sought appointment due to their perceived moral superiority; but it was primarily Han Feizi 韓非子, which mercilessly exposed the moralizers’ fallacies and their abuse of history. Yet the authors’ assault on fellow intellectuals created a paradox. Dismissing their rivals’ subversive discourse, the authors undermined not just the rivals’ claims to be the rulers’ guides but also their own intellectual authority vis-à-vis the throne. The gains and losses of this “class betrayal” have interesting implications beyond the Warring States-period China.

Speaker: Professor Wen Xu
Topic: The Grammatical and Semantic Features of the “V1OV2 de” Construction in Modern Chinese and Reasons for its Formation
Date: 2 May 2023 (Tue)
Time: 16:30 – 17:45
Venue: On-Site (E21A-G049) / ZOOM
Language: Mandarin (with simultaneous interpretation into English)

Abstract:
The “V1OV2 de” construction is a commonly used colloquial expression in modern standard Chinese and a typical construct. This study explores the grammatical and semantic features and the reasons for its formation from a construct grammar perspective. The research found that “V1OV2的” is a non-typical verb-copying construction, and its meaning of construction can be summarized as “explaining the reason why an event has taken place in a certain situation.” This construction is driven by cognitive economy and formed based on a typical verb-copying construction through operations such as transposition, deletion, and substitution. Linguistic and non-linguistic reasons work jointly to contribute to the production and use of the “V1OV2的” construction.
Keywords: “V1OV2 de” construction; verb-copying construction; syntax; semantics; reasons
