SUMMARY:Voices\, Glances\, Memories: Commemoration of the Centenary of José Cardoso Pires
DESCRIPTION:José Cardoso Pires (1925–1998) is considered as an indispensable reference in 20th-century Portuguese literary history. His works offer profound analyzes of the intricate interplay between power\, identity\, and memory. Through a distinctive narrative style and acute social observation\, he chronicled Portugal’s social transformations and individual destinies during the latter half of the 20th century. This exhibition will explore Cardoso Pires’ literary heritage and spiritual world through three core dimensions—Voices\, Glances\, and Memories—offering a multi-faceted\, immersive experience. It examines how literature holds the weight of both individual and collective memory\, thereby fostering public engagement with and better understanding of his works. \nExhibition – Voices\, Glances\, Memories: Commemoration of the Centenary of José Cardoso Pires\nDate and Time: 22/09-19/12/2025\nVenue: Sky Garden\, 2/F\, UM Wu Yee Sun Library (E2) \nParticipate in the interactive games and have a chance to win a prize\nDate and Time: 22/09-19/11/2025\nVenue: Sky Garden\, 2/F\, UM Wu Yee Sun Library (E2)

SUMMARY:FAH/DPHIL Work-in-progress Seminar - "Beyond Universal Templates: The Three Ethical Indicators (3EIR) and the Art of Contextual Conservation" by Ms. Lao Teng Wai
DESCRIPTION:Microsoft Teams: https://go.um.edu.mo/rx3pei7o \n  \nAbstract \nProperties inscribed under the UNESCO World Heritage Convention face a persistent ethical challenge: reconciling internationally mandated conservation standards with diverse cultural ontologies. This article explores this tension through a comparative analysis of Japan’s Hōryū-ji Temple Complex and Norway’s Urnes Stave Church\, two wooden religious structures preserved through different methods rooted in distinct cultures. At Hōryū-ji\, cyclical reconstruction embodies the Buddhist principle of impermanence\, challenging the Venice Charter’s emphasis on material authenticity. Conversely\, Urnes prioritises minimal intervention and the preservation of original fabric\, reflecting a Nordic ethic of material authenticity that complicates the Nara Document’s focus on living heritage. Drawing on Wittgenstein’s concept of “family resemblances” and François Jullien’s critique of homogenized universality\, this paper underlines the importance of embracing differences and reframes Outstanding Universal Value (OUV) as ethical indicators. To bridge policy and practice\, it proposes the Three Ethical Indicators (3EIR): Respect\, Referencing\, and Reflection\, and operationalizes them through the Three Operational Parameters (3OPR): Replacement\, Reinforcement\, and Regeneration. These frameworks position the Statement of OUV as a living document guiding culturally responsive conservation. The study advocates for a paradigm shift\, from rigid adherence to universal norms toward ethically grounded\, community-engaged stewardship that honours the irreducible individuality of each site’s heritage. \n  \nBio \nTeng Wai Lao is a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Philosophy and Religious Studies at the University of Macau. She began her studies at Durham University in the United Kingdom: BA Ancient History and Archaeology (2015-2018) and MA International Cultural Heritage Management (2018-2019)\, in which she has developed interdisciplinary and conceptual skills among the fields in Classics\, Archaeology\, and Philosophy. Her research interests focus on topics related to culture\, particularly in cultural heritage and museum studies\, material culture\, and cultural identity. She is in the research group of Philosophy of Museum led by Professor Victoria Harrison.

SUMMARY:FAH-DENG Guest Lecture: "From Technological to Digital Reproducibility: Teaching Literature in the Age of A.I"
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nSince the public release of ChatGPT in November 2022\, intense debates have emerged within the humanities—and literary studies in particular—concerning the practice of teaching literature at universities. In this talk\, I will explore these debates through the lens of Walter Benjamin’s concept of “technological reproducibility\,” developed during the 1930s to describe the emergence of photography and film. \nToday\, much digital content—including digitized literature—is instantly reproducible\, transmissible\, and marketable via online platforms and networks. Literary texts can also be repurposed as training data for Large Language Models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT\, which may then be used by writers and students to generate new content. These developments raise critical questions: Is digital reproducibility fundamentally different from what Benjamin termed technological reproducibility? And if so\, what are the implications not only for the teaching of literature but also for literature itself? \nBiography: \nAngus Nicholls is Professor of Comparative Literature and German at Queen Mary University of London. His books include Myth and the Human Sciences (2015)\, Goethe’s Concept of the Daemonic (2006)\, Friedrich Max Müller and the Role of Philology in Victorian Thought (co-edited with John Davis\, 2017)\, and Thinking the Unconscious: Nineteenth-Century German Thought (co-edited with Martin Liebscher\, 2010). He was formerly co-editor of the journals History of the Human Sciences (Sage) and Publications of the English Goethe Society (Routledge). His current book project is a presentist history of Comparative Literature as an academic discipline\, focusing on the second half of the nineteenth century.

SUMMARY:FAH/DPHIL Lecture Series – "The Question of the Way and Errant Wandering: On the Transcultural Entanglement of Lǎozǐ and Parmenides" by Prof. Fabian Heubel\, Academia Sinica\, Taiwan
DESCRIPTION:Microsoft Teams: https://go.um.edu.mo/7mnk1eav \n  \nAbstract \nIn his lectures on the Presocratic philosopher Parmenides from 1932\, Martin Heidegger not only speaks about the “question of Being” (Seinsfrage)\, but also about the “question of the Way” (Wegfrage). This is understandable\, because Parmenides distinguishes three ways. I would like to assume that Parmenides and Lǎozǐ ask both the “question of Being” and the “question of the Way”. In the case of Parmenides\, Being can be said to take precedence\, although the two attach very different\, even opposite\, meanings to it. For Lǎozǐ\, on the other hand\, the Way is in the foreground. \nFor Parmenides\, only the first way (the way of Being) is walkable\, whereas the second way (the way of Non-being) is not. The third way is a way that ordinary people take\, the way of the “double-headed” (δίκρανοι). Heidegger says about them: “they have their heads here and there\, and that without noticing the ambiguity and suspecting it”. They go without a way\, “in errancy”: “their whole perception is a soon this way\, soon that way\, a going back and forth\, directionless\, criss-crossing – πλαγκτός – erring. […] They do not just go in errancy – they are constantly in it and cannot get out of it.” \nBut what is the errancy of the double-heads? And what is the relation of the three ways in Parmenides to the “Way” (道) referred to by Lǎozǐ? In this talk\, I will try to argue that Lǎozǐ defends the third way between being and non-being\, by transforming it into a Way that wanders between “being-without” (無/無在) and “being-with” (有/有在). \n  \nBio \nProfessor Fabian Heubel is a Research Fellow at the Institute of Chinese Literature and Philosophy\, Academia Sinica\, Taipei. He is also an Adjunct Professor at the Institute of Philosophy\, Free University of Berlin. His main research interests include: comparative and transcultural philosophy\, Classical and Modern Chinese philosophy\, interpretations of Chinese philosophy in Western sinology\, Critical Theory\, contemporary German and French thought\, aesthetics and philosophy of art.

SUMMARY:FAH-DPORT-CIELA: Seminar by Professor Pedro Pombo on "Macau\, from the ocean to the archives: maritime labour routes\, emigration and Chinese heritage in the Mascarenes"
DESCRIPTION:Dear Professors and Students\, \nWe are most pleased to invite all to attend the following Seminar by Professor Pedro Pombo on “Macau\, from the ocean to the archives: maritime labour routes\, emigration and Chinese heritage in the Mascarenes” on Thursday\, 13/11/2025\, at 6:00pm in room E21-1029. \n  \nBIO \nProfessor Pedro Pombo \nLecturer at the Islands and Small States Institute\, University of Malta \nPedro Pombo is a Lecturer at the Islands and Small States Institute of the University of Malta. Earlier he was a Marie Curie European Research Officer at the same institute with the project Heritage Ecologies\, Culture\, Resilience and Development in Island States\, funded by the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions\, European Commission. \nAfter graduating in Decorative Arts and Design\, Pedro received his PhD in Anthropology from ISCTE- IUL\, Lisbon (2015) with an ethnographic exploration of space\, belonging and local history in Southern Mozambique. \nHis research has focused on traces of Afro-Asian circulations through aesthetic and anthropological approaches\, focusing on heritage\, landscapes and memories in the Indian Ocean. He is co-author of the documentary “The Club” (2021)\, on the Goan diaspora in Tanzania\, with Nalini Elvino de Sousa\, funded by the RTP-Portuguese Television. \nHe was a fellow and received research grants from the IIAS-ACL\, Leiden\, The Africa Multiple Cluster of Excellence\, Bayreuth University\, Germany and the Cultural Institute of Macau. \nHis actual project investigates the role of heritages in promoting local economic development and social and environmental resilience in small island states and jurisdictions located in Europe and the Indian Ocean. \n  \nABSTRACT \nMacau\, from the ocean to the archives: maritime labour routes\, emigration and Chinese heritage in the Mascarenes \n  \nThis presentation shares research on the role of Macao in the transoceanic transport of Chinese contract workers to the Western Indian Ocean world\, and the cultural heritages\, material and intangible\, of Chinese origin in the archipelago of the Mascarenes\, in the Southwestern Indian Ocean. \nThis work assumes a broad chronological scope\, centred on the transport of contract workers from South China to the Mascarenes archipelago during the 19th century\, with a special focus on the first decades of the system of indentured labour and taking us to the contemporary times and the Sino-Mauritian and Sino-Reunionese cultural presences. \nThe methodology is centred on an ethnographic approach\, crossing archival research and heritage and cultural studies\, and inciting dialogues between history and cultural landscapes\, the past and the present\, the archives and contemporary society. Following the presentation of the findings in archives in Mauritius and Reunion\, I will explore the contemporary cultural landscapes of the Mascarenes through short vignettes that illustrate the ways history informs today’s insular cultures. Using the boutik sinwa (Chinese store in the Mauritian and Reunionese creoles) as a fundamental material\, and intangible\, heritage of life in the Mascarenes\, I follow documentaries\, artworks and published biographies to highlight how the first generations of Chinese migrants gave way to truly local communities. \nIN ENGLISH LANGUAGE

SUMMARY:FAH/DPHIL Work-in-progress Seminar - "Can LLMs Outputs Classify as Testimonial-based Beliefs?" by Mr. Lai Hei Wai
DESCRIPTION:Microsoft Teams: https://go.um.edu.mo/rx3pei7o \n  \nAbstract \nWith the rise of Large Language Models (LLMs)\, scholars are starting to discuss the epistemological problems related to them. Recently\, there are literatures that argue on the topic of whether LLMs’ outputs can be classified as testimony. Scholars give arguments that they cannot be classified as testimony by the reason that LLMs do not satisfy varies conditions. This paper introduces and analyize these conditions. And further argues that even if LLMs can satisfy all the said conditions in the future. However\, by way they understand the content of their own outputs is fundamentally different from humans. Therefore\, we still cannot classify LLMs’ outputs as testimony. \n  \nBio \nLai Hei Wai is a Ph.D. Student in the Department of Philosophy and Religious Studies at the University of Macau. He began his studies at Fu Jen Catholic University BA in Philosophy (2009-2014) and MA in the Department of Philosophy and Religious Studies at The University of Saint Joseph (2020-2023). His research interests focus on topics related to epistemology\, particularly in the epistemology of testimony.

SUMMARY:FAH-DENG: "AI\, the Spectacle\, and Marx: Who is using the tech and for what purposes?"
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nMarx urged the proletariat not to rally against new kinds of machines per se\, even if at first glance fears arose that these could further their subjugation and alienation.  Rather\, the point is who is deploying these technologies\, and for what purposes.  Behind the spectacle and moral panic about the new\, there may be something very familiar\, once we look more closely. \nFears of new machines and new technologies have been around for as long as they have emerged\, with worries about the changes and dangers they will bring\, and moral panics about the effects on people and society.  There were early fears about the train\, about physically riding it\, but also about this new kind of mobility in society.  There have been moral panics about all new kinds of media\, such as books and television\, each imagined to lead to delinquency and moral decline.  Fears of the computer in the 1950s were perhaps the start of some of the spectacular fears we have about AI now\, with imaginaries of human-mechanical hybridity and technological autonomy (Grenham\, 2020).  Although these were also rooted in wider fears about the new technologies of science and medicine\, viewed through a trope of a ‘violation of the natural order’ (Carroll\, 2004\, p. 40).  The ‘overreacher plot’ is well-trodden in science fiction and horror\, where the scientist extends the boundaries of the natural and thereby creates a monster (Carroll\, 2004\, p. 118). \nFollowing the advice of Marx\, Critical Discourse Studies scholars have an important role in regard to AI.  We need to look beyond the spectacle\, the wild fantasies and moral panics\, and consider carefully where this new technology is being deployed in a concrete sense\, by whom\, and for what underlying aims.  And as is the job of CDS\, to consider the effects of this on knowledge\, on society and the wellbeing of people.  In this talk I look at one small\, yet concrete\, case of using AI to manage levels of theft in stores in Japan.  I use this to consider some of the kinds of questions we might\, in the humanities\, need to be asking. \n  \nBiography: \nGwen Bouvier (PhD\, University of Wales) is a Distinguished Professor at Shanghai International Studies University\, Institute of Language Science.  Her main research interests are digital communication and civic debate on social media.  Professor Bouvier’s publications have drawn on critical discourse analysis\, multimodality based on social semiotics\, and online ethnography.  She is the Associate Editor for Social Semiotics and Book Review Editor for Discourse & Society\, and the Journal of Multicultural Discourses.  Her latest publications include the book Qualitative Research Using Social Media (Routledge\, 2022) and the articles Cancel Culture and Trigger-Ready Fragmented Interest Groups (TV and New Media\, 2025); Social Media and the New Canon of Use for Social Protests (Discourse\, Context and Media\, 2025); and Evaluating the American-Chinese Trade War on Chinese Social Media: Discourses of nationalism and rectifying a humiliating past (Critical Discourse Studies\, 2025).
