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 - "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.

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).

SUMMARY:FAH-DENG: "Workflow Matters: Comparing Human Translators and Multi-Agent LLMs in Literary Translation"
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nThe lecture explores how translation workflows affect performance in both human and AI literary translation.  Large language models (LLMs) perform well in general translation but often struggle with literary nuance and coherence. Professional human translations are compared with two multi-agent LLM systems: one modeled on human practice with drafting and revision phases\, and another redesigned for LLM capabilities with specialized agents for planning\, style\, and coherence. Expert evaluations show that both AI systems achieved accuracy comparable to human translators. The LLM-oriented workflow produced more stylistically rich and fluent translations\, occasionally with creative additions\, whereas the human-modeled workflow was concise but less cohesive. The findings suggest that workflows optimized for LLM capabilities can yield exceptional literary translations and\, in certain aspects\, surpass human performance. \n  \nBiography: \nKanglong Liu is Associate Professor in the Department of Language Science and Technology at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University. His research focuses on empirical approaches to translation studies\, translation pedagogy\, corpus-based translation research\, and Hongloumeng translation studies. His work has appeared in leading journals such as Target\, Perspectives\, Lingua\, Language Sciences\, International Journal of Specialised Translation\, System\, International Review of Applied Linguistics in Language Teaching\, and Digital Scholarship in the Humanities. He serves as Associate Editor of Translation Quarterly\, Humanities and Social Sciences Communications (SSCI and AHCI)\, and Heliyon (SCI). He is the author of Corpus-Assisted Translation Teaching: Challenges and Issues (Springer\, 2020) and co-editor of several volumes\, including Translation and Interpreting in the Age of COVID-19 (Springer\, 2023)\, Dream of the Red Chamber: Literary and Translation Perspectives (Routledge\, 2023)\, Corpora in Interpreting Studies: East Asian Perspectives (Routledge\, 2023)\, and Translation Studies in the Age of Artificial Intelligence (Routledge\, 2025).

SUMMARY:FAH/DPHIL Lecture Series – "Can family relationships in Ruist traditions be transformed? Reconsiderations of Ruist families from the perspective of the transformative dimension of culture" by Prof. Lauren F. Pfister\, Hong Kong Baptist University\, Hong Kong
DESCRIPTION:Microsoft Teams: https://go.um.edu.mo/7mnk1eav \n  \nAbstract \nIFamily relationships in Ruist traditions have been regularly linked to specific virtues that distinguish the younger from the elderly\, the female from the male\, and have often been employed in various historical periods for promoting strongly patriarchal forms of familial relationships. Some Ruist advocates have described these virtues and their related relationships in absolute terms and have declared their eternal validity.  Nevertheless\, there are a number of perspectives from within Ruist classical works that suggest that there are ways in which some of these relationships might be transformed. \n  \nBio \nLauren F. Pfister is an internationally recognized sinologist and comparative philosophy scholar.  He is a Professor Emeritus from the Religion and Philosophy Department of Hong Kong Baptist University\, and is currently the Rector of the Hephzibah Mountain Aster Academy\, a humanities-based cross-cultural research center located in Colorado\, USA.  Previously he had served as an Associate Editor of The Journal of Chinese Philosophy. His studies of James Legge’s English translations of The Chinese Classics and The Sacred Books of China have received international attention. In the past decades\, he has continued internationally to explore issues and dialogues related to theoretical matters dealing with traditional Chinese culture and its distinctives.

SUMMARY:FAH-DENG Guest lecture: "Emotion Recognition and Textual Representation in British Novels from a Digital Humanities Perspective"
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nThis study examines British novels from the eighteenth to nineteenth centuries\, exploring innovative applications of digital humanities methods in literary emotion research. First\, we constructed an automated emotion recognition pipeline based on the NRC Emotion Lexicon\, covering large-scale corpora to perform precise extraction and quantification of emotion words from original novel texts. Second\, we conducted genre-level emotion trend analysis across two hundred years of literary history. Finally\, we extracted scenes with the highest density of emotion words in individual works\, supplemented by close reading analysis. Through multi-dimensional visualization and various secondary metrics\, we not only delineate temporal changes in emotions such as anger across dimensions of length\, frequency\, and intensity\, as well as the lexicon of emotion-bearing words in specific works\, thereby providing evidence for comparative studies of how different authors represent the same emotions. This research demonstrates how digital humanities can provide new perspectives on emotion history and pathways for textual representation in the history of British novels. \n  \nBiography: \nDr. Haifeng Hui (惠海峰) is Professor of English\, and Director of the Digital Humanities Lab at the School of Foreign Languages\, Huazhong University of Science and Technology\, China. He researches children’s literature from diverse theoretical perspectives\, including narratology\, stylistics\, adaptation studies\, and digital humanities. He serves as an Advisor Board member of International Research in Children’s Literature. Haifeng’s recent publications include Adaptation of British Literary Classics for Children (Peking University Press\, 2019)\, “Canon Studies in China: Traditions\, Modernization and Revisions in the Global Context\,” Poetics Today (2021)\, “Embedded Mental States in Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief and Uneven Distribution of Narratorial Attention\,” Orbis Litterarum (2023)\, “What Can Digital Humanities Do for Literary Adaptation Studies: Distant Reading of Children’s Editions of Robinson Crusoe\,” Digital Scholarship in the Humanities (2023).
