SUMMARY:FAH/DPHIL Lecture Series – “Ernst Cassirer and the Place of Myth in Scientific Culture” by Prof. Gregory Moss\, The Chinese University of Hong Kong\, Hong Kong
DESCRIPTION:Zoom: https://umac.zoom.us/j/98345879594 \nPassword: 821200 \n  \nAbstract \nPhilosophers often raise the objection that Cassirer’s theory of myth appears unequipped to account for the possibility of the return of mythical consciousness within modern Western societies. I argue that Cassirer’s philosophy of myth can successfully respond to this classical objection. In his second volume\, The Philosophy of Symbolic Forms\, Volume 2: The Mythical Thinking\, Cassirer draws on Schelling’s philosophy of myth in order to give a transcendental account of mythical experience. Like Schelling\, Cassirer argues that myth is historically overcome by other forms of culture\, such as revealed religion and scientific culture. However\, in the third volume\, The Philosophy of Symbolic Forms\, Volume 3\, Cassirer argues that both mythical consciousness and our consciousness of other minds are made possible by the same symbolic function. Because the symbolic function that makes myth possible is never fully absent from human experience\, I argue that Cassirer’s theory of myth is fully able to account for the reappearance and transformation of mythical forms in modern life. Finally\, I argue that the symbolic function that makes myth possible not only appears within the perceptual experience of other minds\, but also within scientific culture itself. \n  \nBio \nGregory S. Moss is an Associate Professor of Philosophy at the Chinese University of Hong Kong. Before joining the faculty at CUHK in 2016 he was a lecturer in philosophy at Clemson University from 2014-2016. He completed PhD in philosophy in August 2014 under Distinguished Research Professor Richard Dien Winfield and was awarded a Fulbright Research Fellowship to study under Markus Gabriel at the University of Bonn in Germany (2013-2014). Gregory Moss’s scholarly work is mainly focused on systematic metaphysical and epistemological questions that stem from the Post-Kantian German and Ancient Greek philosophical traditions. He is the author of Hegel’s Foundation Free Metaphysics\,: The Logic of Singularity\, ( Routledge 2020)\, which won the Hegel PD prize for 2022. He has broad interests\, ranging from modern Japanese philosophy (mostly the Kyoto School)\, to issues in the Philosophy of Culture and the Philosophy of Religion.

SUMMARY:INVITATION: Book Presentation Ceremony and Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Dear Professors and Students\, \nWe are most pleased to invite all to attend the following Book Presentation Ceremony and Seminar on February 27\, 2024 (Tuesday)\, at 16:00\, at the University of Macau Library (E2)\, Library Auditorium\, Room G012. \n  \nBOOK PRESENTATION CEREMONY \n“Os Lusíadas do Grande Luis de Camoens”\, published in 1613 \n“Os Lusíadas do Grande Luis de Camoens” published in 1613\, in a rare and annotated edition of the most important Portuguese poetic-epic text “Os Lusíadas”\, as part of the commemoration of the 500th anniversary of the birth of the poet and playwright Luís de Camões (born in Lisbon\, ca. 1524-10 June\, 1580). The preliminary pages of this edition contain what is considered to be the first biography of the poet\, written by Pedro de Mariz\, a person close to his time and whose biographical testimony is of great authentic value. \nConsidered one of the most important figures in Portuguese literature\, Luís de Camões is acclaimed as one of the most important voices in the world of epic literature. It is believed that the recent acquisition by the University of Macau of this rare book of Portuguese poetry would be beneficial for the academic and cultural exchanges among UM\, other higher education institutions and the Chinese and Portuguese communities. \n  \nSEMINAR \n“Mathematics and Literature” \nIf Mathematics and Literature are two very different ways of understanding the Cosmos and Life\, they nevertheless have surprising interactions that deserve to be known beyond the specialists in each area. Based on the recent four-year experience of FOLIO (Óbidos Literary Festival)\, from 2016 to 2019\, this communication aims to present some notable examples of these interactions. From the mathematical elements in Os Lusíadas to Galileo’s Discorsi and Dialoghi\, from the poems of José Anastácio da Cunha and António Monteiro to the literary writings of Sofia Kovaleskaya and Felix Hausdorff (Paul Mongé)\, not forgetting Bourbaki or Oulipo\, there are unexpected and profound relationships between mathematics and literature. \nby Professor José Francisco Rodrigues \nUniversity of Lisbon\, Academy of Sciences of Lisbon \nJosé Francisco Rodrigues is a Portuguese Professor of Mathematics at the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Lisbon. He works in mathematical analysis of nonlinear partial differential equations and\, in particular\, in free boundary problems. He had studied in Lisbon and in Paris\, and he has visited and has given lectures in many Mathematical Institutes\, Conferences and Universities in Europe\, USA\, Brazil\, Russia\, Japan\, Australia and China (Suzhou\, Macau\, Hong Kong\, Shanghai and Beijing). He has also interdisciplinary interests and activities in the relations and interactions of Mathematics with other Sciences and with General Culture\, including Communication\, History\, Music\, Literature and Architecture. He was Director of the research center CMAF/Univ. Lisboa and of the Portuguese CIM (Centro Internacional de Matemática). He served in several European Mathematical Society (EMS) Committees and is\, since 2022\, Vice-General-Secretary of the Lisbon Academy of Science\, to which he belongs since 1994.

SUMMARY:FAH/DPHIL Lecture Series – “Why the Search for AI Safety (or Alignment) Can Be Very Dangerous" by Prof. Herman Cappelen\, University of Hong Kong
DESCRIPTION:Zoom: https://umac.zoom.us/j/97781274783 \nPassword: 869095 \n  \nAbstract \nThere is now a very extensive debate\, both inside and outside academia\, about how to make very advanced AI systems safe and ethical. Sometimes this is called the Alignment Problem. There are many proposals for how this can be done. In this talk\, I argue that most (or all) of these efforts are both futile and potentially dangerous. I end with some old-fashioned suggestions for how to move forward when thinking about AI risk. \n  \nBio \nHerman Cappelen is Chair Professor of philosophy at the University of Hong Kong. Before moving to Hong Kong\, he worked at the Universities of Oslo\, St. Andrews\, Oxford\, and Vassar College. To name just some of his accolades\, he is currently the director of AI & Humanity Lab at the University of Hong Kong\, the co-director of Concept Lab at the University of Oslo and of Concept Lab Hong Kong\, and holds a position on the Steering Committee of the Institute of Data Science\, also at the University of Hong Kong. Formerly\, he was the director of Arché Philosophical Research Center in St. Andrews for several years\, and held the position of Research Director of the Center for the Study of Mind in Nature at the University of Oslo. His current research focus is on the philosophy of AI\, Conceptual Engineering\, the conceptual foundations of political discourse\, externalism in the philosophy of mind and language\, and the interconnections between all of these. However\, his philosophical interests are broad – they cover more or less all areas of systematic philosophy.

SUMMARY:FAH-DENG Guest Lecture: ‘Beowulf and the Digital Humanities'
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nBeowulf is the oldest epic poem in the English language\, but it was largely unknown until 1815\, when its first modern edition was published. Appearing at a moment when Romantic nationalism was spreading throughout Europe\, this mysterious poem rapidly attracted considerable debate about its authorship\, date of composition\, and transmission history. This lecture looks at how the disciplines broadly described as ‘the Digital Humanities’ can shed new light on these old debates. In particular\, it discusses the arguments presented in “Large-Scale Quantitative Profiling of the Old English Verse Tradition\,” a paper published in Nature Human Behaviour that Professor Neidorf co-authored with scholars from Harvard\, MIT\, and other universities. This paper received mainstream media coverage in venues such as The Guardian\, The Times\, The Boston Globe\, and Smithsonian Magazine. Neidorf considers why the paper received such coverage\, and then offers a critical assessment of what the Digital Humanities can and cannot do\, how such studies are best interpreted\, and how the knowledge generated in the traditional humanities remains essential to them. Neidorf stresses the importance of collaboration and argues that the Digital Humanities should be viewed not as a competitor\, but as a complement\, to traditional humanities scholarship. \n  \nBiography: \nLeonard Neidorf is Professor of English at Nanjing University. He received his Ph.D. from Harvard University and his B.A. from New York University. He is the author of two monographs—The Art and Thought of the Beowulf Poet (Cornell University Press\, 2022) and The Transmission of Beowulf: Language\, Culture\, and Scribal Behavior (Cornell University Press\, 2017)—as well as the editor of three books. In 2020\, Neidorf was awarded the Beatrice White Prize by the English Association for his research on medieval literature. Neidorf has published more than 90 papers in A&HCI journals. His work has appeared in a wide range of journals including ELH\, Folklore\, Neophilologus\, Review of English Studies\, Tolkien Studies\, Journal of Germanic Linguistics\, and Nature Human Behaviour. Neidorf is an Associate Editor of English Studies (Taylor & Francis) and the Editor-in-Chief of The Explicator (Taylor & Francis).

SUMMARY:FAH-DENG Guest Lecture: 'Publishing in Top Journals: A Philosophical and Practical Discussion'
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nThis lecture takes a closer look at the nature of scholarly publication. Publishing is a prerequisite for success in the modern university\, but there is very little discussion among humanities scholars about the characteristics of publishable scholarship. In this talk\, Professor Leonard Neidorf attempts to identify the implicit criteria that editors of top international journals use when they evaluate the merit of submissions. He then identifies some respects in which the journals’ criteria are at odds with current humanities pedagogy\, and he recommends some ways to bring publishing and pedagogy into greater harmony. Beyond this philosophical discussion\, the talk offers practical advice for increasing one’s success in journal publishing based on Professor Neidorf’s experience with more than twenty different international journals. \n  \nBiography: \nLeonard Neidorf is Professor of English at Nanjing University. He received his Ph.D. from Harvard University and his B.A. from New York University. He is the author of two monographs—The Art and Thought of the Beowulf Poet (Cornell University Press\, 2022) and The Transmission of Beowulf: Language\, Culture\, and Scribal Behavior (Cornell University Press\, 2017)—as well as the editor of three books. In 2020\, Neidorf was awarded the Beatrice White Prize by the English Association for his research on medieval literature. Neidorf has published more than 90 papers in A&HCI journals. His work has appeared in a wide range of journals including ELH\, Folklore\, Neophilologus\, Review of English Studies\, Tolkien Studies\, Journal of Germanic Linguistics\, and Nature Human Behaviour.

SUMMARY:FAH-DPORT: Lecture Series "Modernism and Literatures of the World" from 13-15/03/2024
DESCRIPTION:We are most pleased to invite all to attend the following lecture series from March 13 to 15\, 2024\, at the University of Macau. \nDEPARTMENT OF PORTUGUESE \nLECTURE SERIES \n“Modernism and Literatures of the World” \nMarch 13\, 14\, 15\, 2024 \nUniversity of Macau \nGuest-speakers: Prof. David Jackson (Yale University)\, Prof. Ottmar Ette (Potsdam Universität)\, Prof. Ren Haiyan (Hunan Normal University)\, Dr. Ting Huang (Communication University of China)\, Dr. Júlio Jatobá (University of Macau) \nIn 2024 we celebrate the Centennial of the Manifesto of Brazil Wood (Manifesto da Poesia Pau-Brasil)\, one of the most relevant modernist manifestos in the context of the Portuguese-speaking countries. The Manifesto was written by the Brazilian poet Oswaldo de Andrade (1890-1954)\, the author of other very famous text\, the “Anthropophagic Manifesto” (Manifesto Antropófago\, 1928)\, which launched the concept of “cultural anthropophagy”. The series of lectures “Modernism and Literatures of the World” aims to reflect on the effects\, dilemmas and paradoxes of “anthropophagy” in the arts of the 1920s to the present day. It also proposes a TransAreal space for discussions\, bringing Andrade’s “anthropophagus” closer to Chinese modernist Lu Xun’s concept of “cannibal”\, proposing a Chinese perspective of anthropophagy\, shedding light on the literary entanglements between Latin America\, Europe and Asia\, thus exploring China through Alexander von Humboldt and Xu Xiake\, the enlightenment of modern Crusoes and\, ultimately\, the concept of “Literatures of the World” as a new literary system after World Literature (Weltliteratur). \n    \n  \nSchedule \n\n\n\n\nMarch 2024 \nLecture Series \nMODERNISM AND LITERATURES OF THE WORLD \n\n\n\n13/ 03 – WED – E21-G035\n14/03 – THU – E21-G035\n15/03 – FRI – E4-1061\n\n\n\n19:00-19:45 \nDavid Jackson \n“Antropofagia e o Manifesto” \n19:45-20:15 \nJúlio Jatobá \n“China e Brazil: Antropofagia em paralaxe” \n20:15-21:00 \nDavid Jackson \n“Mulheres modernistas: Patrícia Galvão” \nLanguage: Portuguese \n\n\n14:00-15:00 \nOttmar Ette \n“The Literatures of the World: A New Literary System after World Literature” \n  \n15:00-16:00 \nRen Haiyan \n“Island and Possible Life: The Enlightenment of Modern Crusoes” \n  \n  \nLanguage: English \n \n\n11:00-11:45 \nDavid Jackson \n“O ‘turista-aprendiz’ de Mário de Andrade” e o Brasil sonoro de Villa-Lobos” \n11:45-12:30 \nTing Huang \n“O ‘Diário de um louco’ de Lu Xun e o ‘Manifesto Antropófago’ de Oswald de Andrade” \nLanguage: Portuguese \n14:00-15:00 \nOttmar Ette \n“Latin America and Asia: Literary Entanglements” \n15:00-16:00 \nRen Haiyan \n“Desire for knowledge and Historicity: A Comparison of the Travel Writings of Alexander von Humboldt and Xu Xiake” \nLanguage: English \n\n\n\n\n\n  \nABSTRACTS \nABSTRACT 1 (PROF. OTTMAR ETTE\, POTSDAM UNIVERSITY) \nThe Literatures of the World: A New Literary System after World Literature \nIn 1827\, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe coined the term „Weltliteratur“ (world literature) as an antidote to the growing influence of the concept of „Nationalliteratur“ (national literature). Until very recently\, world literature has been used to describe a literary system of global dimensions. But there is always a center for world literature: for Goethe it was the Weimar of his time\, for Pascale Casanova it was Paris\, as for David Damrosh New York. During the second half of the 20th Century\, a new literary system of global dimensions has been developed: the Literatures of the World. This conference gives an insight in the polylogic structure of this system. \n  \nABSTRACT 2 (PROF. OTTMAR ETTE\, POTSDAM UNIVERSITY) \nLatin America and Asia: Literary Entanglements \nFor a long time\, transpacific entanglements between the literatures of Latin America and the literatures of Asia have been widely neglected. This conference will shed light on the long history of these intertextual and transcultural relations between these two continents. How can we understand much better what Latin American literatures are in the light not only of transatlantic relations but as well in the light of transpacific entanglements? Beyond the framework of Area Studies\, TransArea Studies enable us to understand much better the interwoven specificities of Latin American literatures. \n  \nABSTRACT 3 (PROF. REN HAIYAN\, HUNAN NORMAL UNIVERSITY) \nIsland and Possible Life: The Enlightenment of Modern Crusoes \nIn Western literature\, the recurrent motif of island frequently presents opportunities for the experimental exploration of possible lives. The story of Robinson Crusoe serves as a quintessential example. It opens up a testing ground for life. In the face of the near absolute freedom granted by the desert island\, Robinson’s story raises a fundamental question concerning possibilities in life. Modern re-visions respond to this question from different perspectives. For instance\, Michel Tournier wrote a Uranian story to explore the theme from both material and spiritual dimensions. J. M. Coetzee\, considering Robinson as an abstract embodiment of power\, constructs an allegorical world where power erodes goodness. Derek Walcott provides an art-happiness model for life. These re-visions\, conceived in different historical and cultural contexts\, constitute a multi-logical structure in a TransAreal space that sheds significant insights on possible lives. \n  \nABSTRACT 4 (PROF. REN HAIYAN\, HUNAN NORMAL UNIVERSITY) \nDesire for Knowledge and Historicity: A Comparison of the Travel Writings of Alexander von Humboldt and Xu Xiake \nSupported by the belief that heterogeneity may serve as reflecting mirrors in this interrelated world\, a comparative study between Alexander von Humboldt’s writings composed in the 19th century and that of Xu Xiake composed in the 17th century not only provides an opportunity to explore China through Alexander von Humboldt and derive better self-understanding through this discontinuity but also allows us to return to and further reflect upon the concept “modern” and thus European modernity. \n  \nABSTRACT 5 (DR. TING HUANG\, COMMUNICATION UNIVERSITY OF CHINA) \n‘Diary of a Madman’ by Lu Xun and the ‘Anthropofhagic Manifesto’ by Oswald de Andrade \n This paper provides a critical rereading of the modernist sensibilities articulated in Oswald de Andrade’s seminal work Anthropophagic Manifesto (1928) and Lu Xun’s archetypal modernist text Diary of a Madman (1918). In addition to my discussion of the modernist movement’s motifs expressed in the works\, I explore the metaphor cannibal in relation to the Brazilian and Chinese social-historical contexts in the 1920s. \nWhile the cannibalistic proposition of Oswald forms a firm defense of the warrior spirits of the indigenous cannibals\, thus calling into a new cultural paradigm on which forges an independent\, heterogenous Brazilian culture\, the Chinese conceptualization of “chi ren” (eat people) is invoked as an informing metaphor in the light of an age-old Confucian-based traditionalistic ideology that runs contrary to the modernizing of the Chinese literary historiography. In Lu Xun’s narrative\, cannibalism is more concerned with the practice of commodified human bodies than with the digestion and (re)construction of the other as in the Brazilian case. The problem of “chi ren” is viewed in the Chinese discourse either as an ethically advocated deed of filial piety or as a therapeutic potency that heals illness such as tuberculosis. \n  \nABSTRACT 6  (PROF. KENNETH DAVID JACKSON\, YALE UNIVERSITY) \nAnthropophagy and the Manifesto \nAfter a brief introduction to modernism and the Modern Art Week\, this lecture discusses the “Cannibal Manifesto” of 1928 that launched the concept of “anthropophagy\,” according to which Brazil would establish its cultural independence from Europe by imitating the cannibal ritual of the Tupinambá\, as told by Hans Staden\, assimilating and digesting any cultural goods received from Europe. This essay analyzes some of the dilemmas and paradoxes of “anthropophagy” as a revolutionary theory\, while describing its ties with magical nature as well as its defining\, irreverent humor. Bakhtin’s concept of heteroglossia is applied to a rhythm of import and export in the Manifesto which lies at the root of the dynamic of modernization. Its author\, Oswald de Andrade\, is described as an intellectual between cultures applying Silviano Santiago’s theory of the “in between.” \n  \nABSTRACT 7  (PROF. KENNETH DAVID JACKSON\, YALE UNIVERSITY) \nModernist Women: Patrícia Galvão \nThrough her journalism\, this lecture describes Patrícia Galvão\, known as “Pagu\,” whose militant pursuit of her political ideals after the “Cannibal Manifesto” as “woman of the people” culminated in a voyage around the world\, followed by imprisonment both in France and in Brazil. After 1940 Patrícia dedicated herself to journalism which\, in light of her tumultuous experience\, promoted a humanistic critique of literature\, theater and politics\, and an international vision aimed both to educate and to place Brazilian values. \n  \nABSTRACT 8  (PROF. KENNETH DAVID JACKSON\, YALE UNIVERSITY) \nMário de Andrade\, apprentice tourist\, and the sonorous Brazil of Heitor Villa-Lobos \nThis lecture begins with commentary on Mário de Andrade’s voyage to the Amazon in 1927 as described in his diary and notes. More than a description\, these notes reveal a subjective and at times fictional and mythical voyage of an incipient anthropologist\, ethnographer\, and amateur photographer. For Mário\, the trip is both a return to Brazil’s origins\, a discovery of its rich folklore\, and an overwhelming feeling of the sublime. Mário’s singing on the Amazon leads to the sonorous Brazil of composer Villa-Lobos\, departing from the ballet Uirapuriu and the massive Choro No 10. Villa-Lobos develops motifs taken from the song of the uirapuru (an organ wren) and the azulão da mata (blue-black Grosbeak).  The melodies of Choro No. 10 come from popular songs and lyrics\, while its rhythmic chants and syncopations represent the Parecis tribe contacted by Rondon and Roquette Pinto in 1908. Villa-Lobos’ musical syntheses found in Brazil’s vast natural and regional repertoire became recognized and accepted as the definition of Brazilian sonority after their success in Paris and New York. \n  \nABSTRACT 9  (DR. JÚLIO JATOBÁ\, UNIVERSITY OF MACAU) \nChina and Brazil: Anthropophagy in parallax  \n Based on the question of the (in)translatability of Chinese classical poetry (Mao Dun\, 1922; Gu Zhengkun\, 1990; Jatoba\, 2013\, 2019) and Chinese poet 杨炼 Yang Lian’s perspective on “Chineseness” as a process of complementing the dimensions of the Chinese language in its zhongguoxing and zhongwenxing facets (see Pozzana & Russo\, 2007; Jatobá\, 2019)\, we will initially examine the poems reimagined by Haroldo de Campos\, as published in Escrito Sobre Jade (2009). We will explicitly deconstruct the original structure and intention of the poems as part of an anthropophagic process. Subsequently\, in collaboration with Haroldo de Campos\, we will reexamine the poems with the intention of proposing a Chinese perspective on anthropophagy. Our guiding thread will be the concept of translational parallax (Jatobá\, 2019)\, through which we aim to view poetry as a visceral process and question the role attributed to AI in the translation process. \n  \nSHORT BIOGRAPHIES \n  \nKENNETH DAVID JACKSON (YALE UNIVERSITY) \nDavid Jackson is Professor in the Department of Spanish and Portuguese at Yale University.

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

SUMMARY:FAH/DPHIL-IAS Philosophy Forum Distinguished Scholars Series – 4: "Living Chinese Philosophy: ‘Zoetology’ 生生論 as First Philosophy" by Prof. Roger T. Ames
DESCRIPTION:Abstract \nThe classical Greeks give us a substance ontology grounded in “being qua being” or “being per se” (to on he on) that guarantees a permanent and unchanging subject as the substratum for the human experience. With the combination of eidos and telos as the formal and final cause of independent things such as persons\, this “sub-stance” necessarily persists through change. This substratum or essence includes its purpose for being\, and is defining of the “what-it-means-to-be-a-thing-of-this-kind” of any particular thing in setting a closed\, exclusive boundary and the strict identity necessary for it to be this\, and not that. \nIn the Yijing 易經 or Book of Changes we find a vocabulary that makes explicit cosmological assumptions that are a stark alternative to this substance ontology\, and provides the interpretive context for the Confucian canons by locating them within a holistic\, organic\, and ecological worldview. To provide a meaningful contrast with this fundamental assumption of on or “being” we might borrow the Greek notion of zoe or “life” and create the neologism “zoe-tology” as “the art of living.” This cosmology begins from “living” (sheng 生) itself as the motive force behind change\, and gives us a world of boundless “becomings:” not “things” that are\, but “events” that are happening\, a contrast between an ontological conception of human “beings” and a process conception of what I will call human “becomings.” \n  \nBio \nRoger T. Ames 安樂哲 is Humanities Chair Professor at Peking University\, Senior Academic Advisor of the Peking University Berggruen Research Center\, and Professor Emeritus of Philosophy at the University of Hawai’i. He is former editor of Philosophy East & West and founding editor of China Review International. Ames has authored several interpretative studies of Chinese philosophy and culture: Thinking Through Confucius (1987)\, Anticipating China (1995)\, Thinking from the Han (1998)\, and Democracy of the Dead (1999) (all with D.L. Hall)\, Confucian Role Ethics: A Vocabulary (2011)\, and most recently Human Becomings: Theorizing ‘Persons’ for Confucian Role Ethics (2020). His publications also include translations of Chinese classics: Sun-tzu: The Art of Warfare (1993); Sun Pin: The Art of Warfare (1996) (with D.C. Lau); the Confucian Analects (1998) and the Chinese Classic of Family Reverence: The Xiaojing (2009) (both with H. Rosemont)\, Focusing the Familiar: The Zhongyong (2001)\, and The Daodejing (with D.L. Hall) (2003). Almost all of his publications are now available in Chinese translation\, including his philosophical translations of Chinese canonical texts. He has most recently published the new Sourcebook in Classical Confucian Philosophy (2023) with its companion A Conceptual Lexicon for Classical Confucian Philosophy (2021)\, continues to write articles promoting a conversation between world pragmatism and Confucian philosophy.

SUMMARY:FAH-DENG Guest Lecture: "Audio description training and assessment: Perceptions and approaches" by Prof. Yan Xiu
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nAudio description (AD) is a language service that helps people who are visually impaired access audio-visual products. The process of AD is cross-modal\, involving the translation of visual images into verbal text. In recent years\, researchers have noted that many of the skills required for interpreters and audio describers are similar\, and that interpreting trainees can benefit from AD training. However\, when AD training is provided in an interpreting program\, it is important to identify the criteria for both AD and interpretation\, and to understand the discrepancies in perceptions between trainers and students\, and between sighted people and people who are visually impaired. Based on an AD training program for interpreting students at a university in Hong Kong\, this study introduces the training approaches and the different perceptions of trainers\, learners and users of AD. The assessment criteria in AD and interpreting training are compared and analysed. \n  \nBiography: \nJackie 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\, President of the Hong Kong Audio Description Studies Association (HKADSA)\, and President of the Hong Kong Association of University Women (HKAUW). Her research and teaching interests include language and translator training\, audio description studies\, Applied Linguistics and classical Chinese translation. Her books include Cultural Identity and Language Anxiety (edited)\, Research on Translator and Interpreter Training: A collective Volume of Bibliometric Reviews and Empirical Studies on Learners; 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 reviewer for important academic journals. In 2021\, she won a silver medal in the International Exhibition of Inventions of Geneva.

SUMMARY:Invitation: Department of English Distinguished Lecture Series: ‘On Re-construction of the Image of Rule of Law in China through Translation of Chinese Legal Literature: Problems and Pathways'
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nThe Chinese civilization of the rule of law has a long history\, and the legal thoughts and knowledge refined in different historical dynasties are recorded in numerous literary masterpieces\, awaiting to be explored and elucidated.
