Date: 15 April 2021 (Thursday)
Time: 5:00 pm – 6:30 pm
Venue: E34-G011 (Lecture Hall, Cultural Building)

Title: The pursuit of cross-border humanistic ideals – my art and life
Abstract: A piece of ink painting, an idea of philosophical thinking, a conceptual artwork, an architectural design, the management and development of a university – all of them are grasps of different forms of “bounded domains”. Although they are different in nature and size, these differences seem to be irrelevant. In fact, they have inherent commonality. Behind these different works of art in my life, there is a continuing yearning and pursuit for the future humanistic ideals and humanistic spirit.

Please register for the forum on or before 14 April 2021 via https://umac.au1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_5vRdpSi4rxE44gm

FAH-DPORT-CIELA: ‘Poems for Macau’ - Talking to Cecília Jorge
2021-04-19 19:00 - 20:00 | E21-1039
The Research Centre for Luso-Asian Studies (CIELA) is pleased to announce its upcoming event – a talk given by Dr. Cecília Jorge on her most recent publication, a book of poems entitled ‘Poemas para Macau’ (Poems for Macau). During this session held at the Faculty of Arts (University of Macau) and simultaneously online, the author will share with the audience the guiding lines and themes behind her poems that reflect memories of Macau of bygone and current times.
Are such memories and thoughts merely her own views and feelings, or do they overlap with those of the Macanese community as a whole? What place does her recent poetic work hold within the literary production of Macau and of diasporic Portuguese language poetry in general? This and other related topics will be covered and discussed in this event.
The talk and Q&A session is open to all those interested, both in loco as well as via the webinar session on ZOOM.

Short Bio of the invited author:
Cecília Jorge is a journalist, author and researcher on the Macanese community and culture since the late 1970s. She was born in Macau, where her family has roots going back 400 years, and pursued her university studies in Portugal, having graduated in Germanic Philology from the University of Lisbon.
She began her journalistic career in Lisbon and worked in that field from 1973 until 1990. After returning to Macau, Cecília Jorge continued her carreer in journalism as correspondent for ANOP, and later worked at DSTCS, GCS, Cultural Institute and at the Department for Chinese Affaires. In 1990, together with Rogério Beltrão Coelho she co-founded the publisher Livros do Oriente, Lda.
She has dedicated most of her research to the study and diffusion of the cultural identity of the Macanese, to Macau as the birth place of this community, and to the overseas Macanese communities. She is the author of several books as well as journal and newspaper articles, and has participated in seminars, conferences and discussions, as well as in television and radio documentaries. Currently she is consultant for Santa Casa da Misericórida de Macau.

The May Fourth Movement in the American Media: A New Perspective of China's Radical Era
2021-04-23 13:00 - 14:30 | E21-3118
After the outbreak of the May Fourth Movement, the American media carried out continuous reports, providing a Western perspective on understanding the movement and important historical records of the US attitude towards the May Fourth Movement at that time. These reports not only revealed the process of this movement in detail but also, particularly important, they foresaw China ushering in a new era. As the American media and Americans in China clearly expressed their support for China on the Shandong issue, Japan began to spread rumors that the movement was directed by the United States behind the scenes, trying to transfer the responsibility for the anger of the Chinese people caused by its aggressive actions to the Americans. The root cause of the contradiction between the United States and Japan was that the United States wanted to stop Japan’s hegemony in China in order to facilitate the implementation of the open door policy in the Far East. Therefore, it had a very sharp contradiction with Japan’s ambition to seize Chinese territory.

EVENT RUNDOWN

The Spatial Distribution of Chinese Manufacturing Industry in 1933: and A Discussion on the Spatial Process of Late-Developing Countries’ Modernization 1933年中國製造業區域布局研究—兼論後發大國工業化的空間進程
2021-04-28 15:30 - 17:00 | E21-3118
A database based on A Survey Report of Chinese Industry by Liu Dajun and other statistics in 1930s has been constructed as the main source for this research. This database reveals that the geographic industrial distribution of China in 1933 demonstrated a trend “contiguous distribution in the east, scattered distribution in the west”. This trend was caused by the distinguishes of the eastern and western region in natural resources, transportation conditions and connections with external markets. Without support form a powerful state, the industrialization of modern China faced many obstacles, such as the shortage of market, spatial gap between the eastern region and the western region, vicious competition among different regions and the mismatch of natural resources and investment and professional human resources.
我們嘗試利用20世紀30年代的各種統計資料對劉大鈞的《中國工業調查報告》進行系統修正與完善，構建一個1933年中國製造工廠縣級信息數據庫。我們的分析結果顯示：經過20世紀前30年的較快發展，1933年的中國已經呈現出東部沿海製造工廠“連片發展”的趨勢，以及中西部省區接受東部産業轉移而形成的製造工廠“散點分布”的態勢，這與東中西部的資源禀賦、交通條件、進入國際國內市場的深度和廣度密切相關。但是，缺乏統一而强大的國家政權推動的中國工業化進程，仍然面臨著國內超大市場啓動乏力，東中西部空間隔閡、區域間的産業惡性競爭、農礦資源與資金人才市場配置不當等問題和困境，嚴重影響了中國工業化在全國範圍的擴散以及規模質量的提升。

Celebrating the 40th Anniversary of the University of Macau: FAH/DPHIL Lecture Series - "Coming to Terms with Zhū Xī’s Profoundly Influential Heritage: How [Well] did 19th and 20th Century Christian Intellectuals Engage Zhū Xī’s Corpus?" by Prof. Lauren F. Pfister, Hong Kong Baptist University
2021-04-28 17:30 - 19:00 | E21-3121
Zoom: https://umac.zoom.us/j/92984147450

Abstract
During his lifetime the Sòng dynasty Rú scholar, Zhū Xī 朱熹 (1130-1200), never encountered any person who was associated with Christian traditions. Nevertheless, the immense cultural and intellectual influences of his school of Principle-centered Learning (Lǐxué理學) became a dominant force in the development of Ruist (“Confucian”) traditions in later dynasties. During the Qīng empire (1645-1911) Zhū Xī’s interpretations of The Four Books (Sìshū 《四書》) – texts that he created in the 1170s in ways that were innovative and controversial – became the imperially authorized interpretive standards for Ruist education. With that unusual affirmation of the value of some of his extensive corpus, studies in Zhū Xī’s works became central to the development of Qīng imperial ideology and the alternative Ruist traditions that developed particularly in both the Míng and Qīng dynasties and then subsequently in the post-traditional settings of Republican China and Communist China during the 20th century.
How well did Christian Intellectuals handle the complex and massive corpus of Zhū Xī’s intellectual heritage in the 19th and 20th centuries? I will explain how pre-19th century figures did not really comprehend Zhū Xī’s claims, but starting in the early 19th century, some new and critically informed studies began to appear in Russian, and later in English, French and Latin. Among these were important interpretive efforts inherent in the Ruist canonical translation projects produced by missionary-scholars that deserve special notice: those produced by Nikita Y. Bichurin 比丘林 (1777-1852), James Legge 理雅各 (1815-1897) and Séraphin Couvruer 顧賽芬 (1835– 1919). There were also some studies produced in the 19th century by notable Christian intellectuals that were problematic and sometimes incoherent, which will be only briefly introduced. Nevertheless, in the 20th century a number of major translation and interpretation efforts of various parts of Zhū Xī’s corpus by Christian intellectuals – including those who vehemently opposed Zhū Xī’s worldview and values – were produced in Chinese, English, French, German, and Portuguese. An overview of those 20th century studies, with some indication of the nature and claims of the most influential interpretations, will be offered for consideration, assessment, and debate.

Title: Back to the Family — from a philosophical perspective
Abstract:When talking about 家jia (family/home), Chinese people often have a special cordial feeling, but they have also criticized fiercely the culture of jia since the May 4th New Culture Movement. In modern Chinese philosophy, on the one hand, there is not enough space to examine the issue of jia positively. On the other hand, there is an obvious “deficiency” in the western modern “individual-subjective” philosophy. That is the reason why we see a lot of discussions of the “Other” in contemporary western philosophy. The philosophy of the “Other” still has its shortcomings. The traditional Chinese idea of 親親 qinqin (relations) may provide some solutions to the problem. In other words, this philosophy of 歸家 guijia (homecoming) may open some new possibilities in building a “warmer” life-world in the future.

Cultivating various literary genres (from poetry to prose fiction), contemporary Portuguese writer Maria Teresa Horta has also dedicated herself to short stories, as in the book Meninas (2014). In this work of short stories, we come across voices and stories of very diverse women, who are often located on the margins of society, in spaces of neglect or the target of various forms of violence. All together, they allow for a reflection on the place and the condition of women.

The Floating People and the Stationary Order: The Formation of Traditional Social and Spatial Structure in the Greater Bay Area 流動的人與凝固的秩序——大灣區的傳統社會結構與空間格局的形成
2021-05-12 15:30 - 17:30 | E21-3118
流動的人與凝固的秩序——大灣區的傳統社會結構與空間格局的形成
今天的大灣區，在古代是一個廣闊的海灣，海灣裏島嶼星羅棋布。在這個海灣裏生活著數以萬計的船居或島居的人群。宋代以後，海灣裏的島嶼周邊生長出由泥沙沉積形成的土地，隨著沖積土地的增長，以船爲生的島民也逐漸轉爲從事農耕的人口，在這些人口定居同時，明代以後，王朝秩序在灣區早期形成的社區聚落逐步確立，這些人口借助在王朝政治秩序下獲得的社會身份，逐步壟斷了灣區內新生長土地的開發和經營，形成了以民田-沙田分區的空間格局，民田區的大族與沙田區的疍民成爲身份上不可逾越的人群等級區分。在這樣的格局下，形成了大灣區獨特的社會結構。

The Floating People and the Stationary Order: The Formation of Traditional Social and Spatial Structure in the Greater Bay Area
During ancient time, most part of the area what now we call “the Greater Bay Area” were still under the sea. There were just many islands in this bay. Many people based on boats or islands lived in this big bay. After the Song dynasty, many lands brought by sedimentary sand (sand-lands) emerged around those islands. With the expansion of those new lands, many people living on boats became settled farmers. After the Ming dynasty, the political order in this area was constructed by the state. Relying on the state power, those settled farmers monopoly on the exploitation of the new emerging sand-lands. A dichotomy of farmlands and sand-lands became fixed. The distinguishment of the social hierarchy between the great clans living on farmlands and the Tanka people living on sand-lands emerged.

Celebrating the 40th Anniversary of the University of Macau: FAH/DPHIL Lecture Series – “Harmony, Domination, and Freedom" by Prof. Chenyang Li, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore
2021-05-12 17:30 - 19:00 | E21-3121
Zoom: https://umac.zoom.us/j/95990453576
Abstract:
Much of the pre-Qin Chinese philosophy during the Spring-Autumn and Warring States period can be understood in the light of issues related to harmony as a solution to a chaotic world. Harmony takes place mainly in two forms, active and passive harmony. Active harmony is a state or process in which involved parties dynamically engage one another in a constructive way while maintaining a good level of equity. Passive harmony is merely the absence of discord or conflict, without active engagement. Disharmony is characterized by confrontation, conflict, and chaos. Domination exists with order, even though with an oppressive one. Domination may be disguised as, but must be distinguished from, harmony. While clarifying these concepts, I will also discuss their relation to freedom.

Celebrating the 40th Anniversary of the University of Macau: FAH/DPHIL Lecture Series – “Chinese and Western Values: Reflections on the Methodology of a Cross-Cultural Dialogue” by Prof. Karl-Heinz Pohl, Trier University, Germany

Abstract
Value systems have their origins in religious traditions. Christian ideas and values still form the basis of Western societies, although now mostly in a secularized fashion; hence they can be called post-Christian values. Comparing the impact of Confucianism in East Asia to that of Christianity in the West, one can regard Confucianism as a functional equivalent of the Christian faith: Confucian values have exerted a profound and lasting influence on China over a period of even more than 2000 years. As “post-Confucianism” it still forms the ethical basis of Chinese society.
Considering these differences, basic methodological aspects concerning a cross-cultural dialogue between China and the “West” will be explored. They include: the relation between partners who participate in a dialogue; asymmetry in the use of language (mostly English nowadays); different historical experiences (collective memory); different kinds of cultural framework (i.e., the symbolic orientation which, apart from language, is the basis of cultural identity), and others.
In view of these general conditions and impediments, a dialogue between cultures could deal with the following four aspects: 1. historical reflection and sensitivity; 2. getting to know the respective other culture; 3. search for common concepts; 4. openness towards the other and willingness to be informed by the other.
