FAH/DPHIL Lecture Series – “Classical Theism and Cognitive Science of Religion: A Synthesis” by Prof. Tyler Dalton McNabb, University of Saint Joseph, Macao
2021-12-22 17:30 - 19:00 (Asia/Macau) | E21-3121
Zoom: https://umac.zoom.us/j/95398896954
Abstract
Lari Launonen and R.T. Mullins (2021) argue that if Classical Theism is true, human cognition is likely not theism-tracking, at least, given what we know from the field of cognitive science of religion. In this talk, we will develop a model for how classical theists can make sense of the findings from cognitive science, without abandoning their classical theist commitments. We will also provide an argument for how our model aligns well with the Christian doctrine of general revelation.

FAH-DPORT-CIELA: WORLD VARIETIES OF PORTUGUESE AND PORTUGUESE-BASED CONTACT LANGUAGES (Session 3)
2021-12-17 20:30 - 22:30 (Asia/Macau) | By Zoom
The CIELA open guest talk series World Varieties of Portuguese and Portuguese-based Contact Languages aims to contribute to the diffusion of current research in the field, from creole languages to non-vernacular varieties, emerging national varieties and L2 learner varieties.
Each session will focus on specific regional or national varieties of Portuguese or Portuguese-based contact languages. For the current edition spaced out through 3 weeks in December 2021, the series will cover the following:
Session 3 (17/12/21) 8:30pm – 10:30pm Angolan Portuguese – Diachrony and Synchrony

ABSTRACTS:
“Languages ​​in Portuguese” – examples of linguistic phenomena in the vernacular varieties of Brazilian Portuguese, Portuguese and Angolan

Prof. Márcia Duarte Oliveira dos Santos (USP)
In this conference, I seek to exemplify some linguistic phenomena in three varieties of Portuguese: (I) vernacular Portuguese spoken in Brazil (VBP); (II) vernacular Portuguese spoken in Portugal (VPP); (III) vernacular Portuguese spoken in Angola (VAP). The term “vernacular” refers to speech data generally captured in informal situations and not committed to the ‘norm’ of each of these countries; these speech data can be expressed in distinct areas (not necessarily all areas) of a given macro-speech variety. From the exemplification of a given variety (Angolan Portuguese), “free translations” will be offered in the other two varieties (Brazilian and European Portuguese).

Towards a Language History of Angolan Portuguese form Amélia Mingas Productions: preliminary study
Prof. Eduardo Ferreira dos Santos (UNILAB)
Our presentation aims at a brief approach on how the reflections of the Angolan linguist Amélia Mingas (1940-2019), present in some of her academic productions, contribute to the construction of a transatlantic linguistic history (NEGRÃO, 2020; COELHO & FINBOW, 2020 ). Thus, we seek to highlight the context in which Mingas’ works were produced and examine the presence of lexical units, such as “Angolan Portuguese”, “interference”, “Angolan”, etc., which were reinterpreted based on ideological choices and which help us in the conception of a subequatorial and decolonized transatlantic historiography.

All session are open and can be accessed through the ZOOM link as provided.

The Research Centre for Luso-Asian Studies (CIELA) is pleased to invite all those interested to the Webinar “Ethnography and Archiving: the Presence of Macau in the Indian Ocean” by Prof. Pedro Pombo (Goa University) , being held on December 15 and 17, 2021, from 5:00pm to 7:00pm, via Zoom: https://umac.zoom.us/j/91846133353?pwd=[REDACTED]
Registration link: https://umac.au1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_enFqWCxlBnMeiKW
ABSTRACT
This workshop draws on Macao documentation to be found in various archives in the Indian Ocean.
Session 1 will cover Macau’s role in the transoceanic transport routes of Chinese workers hired throughout the 19th century, through the traces that these circulations left in various archives in the Indian Ocean and in local cultural heritage.

Session 2 will take a closer look at Macau as a key connection between the Pacific and Indian oceans through documentation that evidence how the routes of contract workers from the 19th century directly connected the port of Macau to the Caribbean and South America, inserting this territory in extensive transoceanic networks.

Both sessions of this workshop offer participants the opportunity to follow the methodologies and conceptual bases of an investigation that crosses archive and ethnography, history and the present time, historical documents and the sensory world of contemporary societies that translate centuries of maritime circulations.

FAH-DPORT-CIELA: Poetics of emulation and anthropophagy: Towards a new theoretical paradigm?
2021-12-13 20:00 - 22:00 (Asia/Macau) | By Zoom
The Research Centre for Luso-Asian Studies (CIELA) is pleased to invite all those interested to the Webinar “Poetics of emulation and anthropophagy: Towards a new theoretical paradigm?” by Brazilian scholar Professor João Cezar de Castro Rocha, being held on December 13, 2021, at 8:00pm, via Zoom https://umac.zoom.us/j/99267767347 (Meeting ID: 992 6776 7347)
Brazilian scholar Professor João Cezar de Castro Rocha (invited speaker) will give a talk on his new theoretical paradigm, the poetics of emulation and anthropophagy. The aesthetic concept of anthropophagy was first proposed by Brazilian modernists Oswald de Andrade and Mário de Andrade, and later it was potentiated by Haroldo de Campos in his »transcriation» (internationally known in the Translation Studies field as »cannibalistic» approach of translation). The talk followed by a Q &A and discussion session will be moderated by Prof. Raquel Abi-Sâmara (DPT-UM) and Prof. Matthew Gibson (DE-UM).
ABSTRACT
Non-hegemonic cultures face a common predicament: is it possible to identify a common strategy in dealing with the inevitable presence of foreign elements in the definition of one’s own intellectual and artistic identity? Poetics of emulation would be such common theoretical ground from which anthropophagy emerges. In this talk, this new theoretical paradigm will be presented.
INVITED SPEAKER
João Cezar de Castro Rocha is Full Professor of Comparative Literature at State University of Rio de Janeiro (UERJ) and a researcher at the National Council for Scientific and Technological Development, CNPq. Castro Rocha is a top scholar in Brazil in the last decades, with a very significant performance not only in academia but also in a wider context. He has received Distinguished Fellowships and Visiting Professorships from several institutions in the United States, Europe, China, and Latin America.
Castro Rocha is the author of 13 books and editor of more than 20 titles. His latest publications are: Guerra Cultural e Retórica do Ódio. Crônicas de um Brasil pós–político (Goiâna, Editora Caminhos, 2021); Shakespearean Cultures. Latin America and the Challenge of Mimesis in Non-Hegemonic Circumstances (Michigan State University Press, 2019); Cultures Latino-américaines et Poétiques de l’Émulation: Littératures des Faubourgs du Monde?, among others.

Description: The power of a good story is undeniable: it can arouse wonder, create lasting memories, clarify concepts, connect disparate ideas into a world of meaning, and even forge strong bonds between storyteller and listener. But how can the power of stories be harnessed as a pedagogical strategy? This workshop begins with a sharing session among participants about their own teaching stories toward a collective understanding of effective teaching practices. In the second half of the workshop, the facilitator will share some tips in preparing a teaching portfolio with the aim of helping participants tell their own stories as teachers through that document.
Please register for the workshop by 5 Dec 2021 (Sun) via https://umac.au1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_6gQefKj9TNQGdIG
