The ELC welcomes 300 incoming UM students for the Summer English Programme 2020
2020-06-30 - 2020-07-21 | Zoom
Today marks the beginning of the ELC’s 3-week Summer English Programme, which will welcome 300 students from Macau and surrounding areas who plan to enter UM in September. The Summer English Programme 2020 aims to bridge students’ current academic language, conceptual and study abilities and better acquaint them with the study expectations within an international university context. Over 20 experienced ELC teaching faculty will support the programme, and more than 30 graduate-student programme assistants will provide important mentorship to assist the student transition from high school to university.

This year also marks an evolution from previous years as the ELC adjusts the programme to better suit student needs and the ongoing COVID teaching situation. The programme will focus more specifically on the English and skills necessary for academic and faculty-specific language environments that students will encounter upon university entry. Other programme adjustments include updated teaching materials, approaches and assessments to match the online teaching context. The programme aims to comprehensively support students through a raft of in-house produced materials for instruction and support via Moodle, Zoom, DingTalk and other accessible technology platforms. Finally, the programme will address student motivation, learning and assessment through integration of numerous student-produced digital projects and an E-portfolio to exhibit a body of students’ work from the 3 weeks.
The ELC wishes students the best for the Summer English Programme 2020 and their ongoing studies at UM, as we strive to support student success at the university.

FAH-DHIST Guest Lecture – “道教寫本文獻與《東方道藏》”
2020-02-06 19:00 - 20:30 | E21-3118
內容簡介：道教經籍文獻的傳承編修在歷史上有刊本與寫本兩種傳統。寫本文獻在道教的醞釀、創立時期就形成，此後一直延續下去而形成寫經、抄經傳統。刊本文獻與寫本文獻之間存在著互動現象。道教科儀現場使用的文獻，寫本多而刊本極少。這反映了：其一，由於因應各地的需要，所呈現的是地方道法的地域性特色。其二，道士抄寫經懺、文檢及書符是有行規的。其三，寫本文獻是道士在實際宗教活動中使用的文獻，是反映道教的宗教實踐活動的文獻，能夠真實而全面地反映道教存在的方方面面，學術界應該充分認識到這一點，研究中從以使用刊本文獻為主轉變到以寫本文獻為主，注重寫本文獻的搜集、整理和研究，拋棄舊的學術範式，建構新範式，實現道教研究的創新。

2020-01-15 16:30 - 18:30 | E4-G078

Philosophy and Religious Studies Programme Lecture: “Kang Youwei’s Confucianism and Its Relevance to the Contemporary Study of Chinese Philosophy”
2020-01-15 16:00 - 17:30 | E21-3118
A few decades ago, Kang Youwei was mostly studied in departments of history. Recently more and more scholars of philosophy departments have begun to publish on Kang Youwei’s Confucianism or his New-Text Classicism. A natural question is: Why did it happen? This lecture introduces the existing interpretations of the phenomenon. It then indicates that the phenomenon reshapes the debate regarding the legitimacy of Chinese philosophy and unravels the peculiar interplays between Chinese philosophizing and Chinese political discourses.

FAH-DHIST Guest Lecture – “The Role of the Korean Peninsula in the Culture of the East Asian Bamboo and Wooden Texts 東亞簡牘文化圈中韓半島的位置
2020-01-07 16:30 - 18:30 | E21-G002
漢字作為古代「東亞儒家文化圈」的通行文字，簡牘作為古代「東亞記錄文化圈」的共同文字載體，在韓、中兩國的文化交流方面起到了十分重要的作用。本講座主要分析韓、中、日三國共同出土的《論語》簡、戶口簿木牘、習字簡、九九表木牘以及書寫工具（毛筆、書刀），查明東亞簡牘記錄文化圈中韓半島佔有的位置，而且了解古代東亞地區文化的傳承關係與其歷史意義。
春秋戰國到秦漢時期是典型古代中國文化的形成、發展時期，這一時期的文化資料均書寫於簡牘。自前108年在韓半島設置楽浪郡以來，韓半島中北部地區直接吸收漢朝簡牘記錄文化；韓半島中南部地區通過樂浪郡接觸吸收簡牘記錄文化。韓半島的簡牘記錄文化再傳播到於日本列島，可知近期日本列島發現的公元8-9世紀的木簡，在形制、用途以及書寫格式方面都類似於韓半島發現的6-7世紀木簡。
對東亞簡牘文化的深入研究是了解東亞地區歷史文化核心主幹的基礎，通過東亞簡牘文化的共同研究，可以宏觀地擴大東亞文化視野，進而達到三國間的互相了解，以及和平發展的共同目標。
The Korean Peninsula had played a significant role in the cultural interaction among China, Korea, and Japan. Starting from 108 BCE, when Emperor Wu of Han established Lelang Commandery, the northern Korean Peninsula was incorporated into the Han Empire. The notable amount of bamboo and wooden texts excavated in mainland China, Korea, and Japan in recent decades attest that a cultural sphere was formed among the three countries between the 2nd century BCE and 9th century CE in which they shared similar written and material culture. Drawing lights from these newly excavated texts, this lecture will explore the role of the Korean Peninsula in the culture of the East Asian bamboo and wooden texts.

FAH-DCLL Academic Seminar: “Grammar? Use?” by Prof. Luke Kang Kwong 人文學院中國語言文學系學術講座：“語法？用法？”- 陸鏡光教授
2019-12-11 10:30 | E21-3118
摘要：語言哲學家維根斯坦有這樣一句名言：“意義就是用法。”這樣一句既是難解也是寓意極深的話，道理應該如何理解？本文通過實例，闡述維根斯坦這句話的意思，又引用人類方法學、會話分析、以及純粹構式語法的多元概念，進一步思考語法和用法之間的關係，同時說明，語法其實就是用法。

FAH-DCLL Academic Seminar: “On the Value of ZHU Dongrun’s Talks on Tales from Shakespeare” by Prof. Lei Weifang 人文學院中國語言文學系學術講座：“朱東潤《莎氏樂府談》價值論”- 李偉昉教授
2019-11-29 11:15 | E21-2005
摘要： 朱東潤20世紀初在上海《太平洋》雜誌發表的四篇《莎氏樂府談》，是中國學界細膩貼近莎士比亞戲劇文本開展批評的開始。這四篇《莎氏樂府談》洋洋灑灑兩萬餘言，充分顯示了作者對莎士比亞的專業認知，是現存篇幅最長、論述最細緻、最早獨立成章的完整的莎士比亞評論。其評論範圍涉及到莎士比亞的簡約生平、創作成就與不足、著作權、演員、戲劇佈景等方面，既有對《羅密歐與朱麗葉》和《裘利斯·凱撒》等名劇精彩細膩的文本分析，又有自覺的中西文學比較層面的真知灼見，首次讓當時讀者對莎士比亞的基本面貌有了較之以往更具體、更詳細的瞭解。

FAH-DCLL Academic Seminar: “Digital Humanities and Research Methods” by Prof. Zhang Zhiqing 人文學院中國語言文學系學術講座：“數字人文與研究方法問題”- 張志慶教授
2019-11-29 10:00 | E21-2005
摘要： 數字人文的發展歷程，主要特徵；社會科學與人文學科研究方法的異同；一個研究案例（一篇論文）的討論。數字人文從人文計算演變來的。隨著互聯網的建成和發展，進入了數字人文的階段。最初是由幾個大學教授來做，到本世紀初的時候，學界開始做大量的這方面的研究。數位人文應該具備以下三個特徵。第一，是建立在資料庫基礎上，通過資料庫進行文本挖掘。第二點是文本的視覺化，文本的視覺化不是簡單的在論文當中放一些圖片或者影像資料。第三點是跨學科，既是社會科學與人文學科之間的跨越，也是文科與理科的跨越。也就是不能僅僅只用原來人文學科的思維和方法去做數字人文的研究。

FAH-DHIST Guest Lecture – ‘Minnan People in Macau and Their Social Formation During the Ming and Qing Dynasty 明清時期的澳門閩南人及社會形態’
2019-11-28 15:00 | E21-3118
Minnan People in Macau and Their Social Formation During the Ming and Qing Dynasty

明清時期的澳門閩南人及社會形態

內容摘要：
明清時期，澳門是西方與中國社會橋接的重要口岸，也是亞洲海洋經濟圈的重要一環。閩南人活躍在明清時期的海洋地帶，也是與澳門葡人交往最為密切的地域人群。本論題將圍繞著閩商嚴啟盛在粵海的早期活動、《盟水齋存牘》與閩商形象的汙名化書寫，鄭氏家族的澳門跨國婚姻，清初藩王、閩商與唐船貿易、清代澳門閩商會館組織的演變、閩籍船戶在澳門的非法貿易等議題對500多年的澳門閩南人進行長時段全景性分析。

FAH-DCLL Academic Seminar: “How to Understand Chinese World Order under Heaven” by Prof. Chen Jianhong 人文學院中國語言文學系學術講座：“如何理解中國的天下秩序”- 陳建洪教授
2019-11-27 16:00
摘要：十九世紀初期，黑格爾在其《歷史哲學》中提出，當時的歷史時刻屬於歐洲，屬於作為舊世界心臟的地中海，並且預言美國屬於世界歷史的未來。在黑格爾看來，中國屬於歷史的絕對開端，還沒有進入歷史演化的進程；美國則屬於未來，也還沒有在歷史卷軸上展開。如何面對現實主義、保守主義和自由主義等強勢西方理論，並在理論上積極建構中國作為世界秩序的重要主導力量，是中國在崛起過程中所面臨的必然思想任務。在此背景之下，傳統中國的天下秩序思想在當今中國以不同形式得以復活。本次講座將思考和分析天下秩序思想及其當代復興現象。

FAH/PHIL Philosophy and Religious Studies Lecture Series – “An Enactivist Interpretation of Zhuangzi” by Dr. Tang Man To
2019-11-27 16:00 | E21-3118
Abstract:
The aim of this talk is philosophically evaluating the interpretations of Zhuangzi’s notions of 忘 wang and 坐忘 zuowang. By critically examining the limitations of the mystical interpretation and the neurophysiological interpretation, I find that the mystical interpretation refuses to explain wang and zuowang, and the neurophysiological interpretation fails to address the role of the situated environment in wang and zuowang. Then I propose a new interpretation, an enactivist interpretation. This interpretation not only justifies that we could cognize wang and zuowang in terms of embodied cognition, but it also explicates that the embodied agent who practices wang and zuowang is a functioning subjectivity situated within his environment.

FAH/PHIL Guest Lecture – “The Specific Way of Cultural Assimilation – Taking Chinese Islamic Philosophy in the Ming and Qing Dynasties as a Case Study” by Prof. Liu Yi-hong, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, China
2019-11-27 10:30 - 11:45 | E21-3118
Abstract
Chinese Muslim thinkers created a new systematic theory of Islam regarded as “Chinese Islamic Philosophy” during Ming (1368-1644) and Qing (1644-1911) Dynasties. This was accomplished through transforming and combining core concepts of Islamic thought with the core values of traditional Chinese thought. Based on an analysis of representative works written by Chinese Muslim thinkers proficient with both Islamic doctrines and Chinese traditional thought, I explain the key ideas of Chinese Islamic Philosophy. I conclude that Chinese Islamic Philosophy can be regarded as an exemplary product of successful cultural assimilation; as such, it has wide relevance to diverse civilizations.
