FAH/DPHIL Lecture Series – “Methodological Atheism: An Essay in the Second-Person Phenomenology of Commitment” by Prof. Steven Crowell, Rice University, USA
2021-11-17 10:00 - 11:30 | Online
Zoom: https://umac.zoom.us/j/95897375782
Abstract
This talk argues that reason is phenomenologically grounded in commitment, the experience of being the addressee of a normative claim. Such an experience is the topic of second-person phenomenology. I begin by defending a metaphysically neutral interpretation of phenomenological method (“methodological atheism”). I then contrast Stephen Darwall’s second-person standpoint, in which normative reasons presuppose symmetrical authority between addresser and addressee, with Emmanuel Levinas’s second-person phenomenology, which insists on an asymmetrical authority relation between the addresser and addressee. I argue that Levinas’s account transgresses the methodological atheism of phenomenology and conclude by examining Heidegger’s phenomenology of conscience and commitment. Heidegger shows that the addressee’s responsiveness to the normative is phenomenologically prior to identifying the addresser of the call, and so prior to Darwall-style “recognitional” accounts of normative reasons as well as Levinasian “metaphysical” accounts.

Workshop "Fado Do Estudante"
2021-11-17 15:30 - 18:00 | E34-G011
The workshop “Fado Do Estudante” aims to make known the history of Fado highlighting relevant aspects of the context and its influence as an emblematic symbol of Portuguese culture. The musical performance will provide students with the possibility of listening to live Fado and having contact with the Portuguese guitar and its own characteristics. Afterwards, students are invited to write short quatrains, which will be performed by the musicians. It is intended in this way that students acquire basic notions of what Fado is and learn to distinguish its sound.

FAH-DPORT-CIELA: Ultramarine blue. Re-imagining the empire through the analysis of (anti-)colonial projections in cinema
2021-11-17 18:30 - 2022-01-09 20:30 | By Zoom at “Casa Garden”, Orient Foundation
The Research Centre for Luso-Asian Studies (CIELA) is pleased to invite all those interested to the Webinar “Ultramarine blue. Re-imagining the empire through the analysis of (anti-)colonial projections in cinema”, by Prof. Maria do Carmo Piçarra, being held on November 17 & 24, and December 01 & 09, 2021, at 6:30pm, via Zoom at “Casa Garden”, Orient Foundation.
Seminar Syllabus
The ‘Estado Novo’ used cinema to impose, internally and externally, the image of a pluricontinental and multiracial country. Many ideas propagated were never questioned after the reestablishment of democracy and after the independence of Portuguese-speaking countries.
This seminar, structured into four two-hour sessions, will reveal evidence of the (im)possibility of an alternative look to that of propaganda about the Portuguese ex-colonies in ‘Cinema Novo’s’ works that were censored and banned. It will address the uses of cinema during the liberation struggles and will highlight the cases of Goa, Macau and Timor. It will also consider the emergence of national cinema projects in Mozambique, Angola and Guinea-Bissau, highlighting the contributions of some authors. It will give a brief overview of current cinematographies in African countries with Portuguese as the official language, also particularizing the oriental cases.

FAH/DPHIL Lecture Series – “Wayfarers and Dwellers: implications from phenomenological anthropology for ‘roots’ music heritage research” by Prof. Philip Tonner, University of Glasgow, United Kingdom
2021-11-24 17:30 - 19:00 | E21-3121
Zoom: https://umac.zoom.us/j/96877800561
Abstract
The eighteenth century saw the beginning of a circle of cultural exchange that extended from Scotland and Ireland to the United States – and back again. Scots and Irish emigrants took with them a cultural inheritance of music and storytelling that would become filtered through the American experience and would produce new forms of cultural expression. Distinctive material artefacts, musical instruments such as the guitar and mandolin, functioned as the mechanism of transmission. Our wayfarers produced a cultural record ringing with sonically encoded narratives. With the figure of the wayfarer as heuristic, this paper will draw on the discourses of phenomenology and anthropology to explore the implications of the ‘dwelling perspective’ for developing an approach to ‘roots’ music heritage research.

FAH-DPORT-CIELA: Workshop on Oral Expression of Poetry
2021-11-25 18:00 - 2021-12-06 20:30 | By Zoom
The Research Centre for Luso-Asian Studies (CIELA) is pleased to invite all those interested to the Workshop on Oral Expression of Poetry, by Carlos Nicolau Antunes, being held on November 25 & 29, and December 02 & 06, 2021, at 6:00pm, via Zoom.
The overall contents which will be presented and worked on throughout the 4 sessions of this workshop include: fundamentals of elocution, articulation and diction; sound and musicality in poetry and its conscious use; words of value, breathing and rhythmic cadence; relationship between word, imagination and emotion; written Poetry Styles and Poetic Expression Styles.
Each participant will have the opportunity to orally work on a short poem of their choice (no larger than a sonnet or equivalent), communicating it (read or said by heart) to the camera. We will, case by case, observe in practice the principles for an effective communication of the poem.
Goals
At the end of the workshop it is intended that the participants are able to autonomously apply the principles for an effective oral communication of a poem.
Methodology
Presentation of the principles and contents using expository methodology through multimedia means that facilitate a concrete understanding. Exercises performed in groups that allow the experience of the principles. Work individually with each participant using a poem (or piece of poem) of their choice. The work will focus on the constraints of the style and specificity of the chosen text, as well as on the potential and idiosyncrasies of each individual.

The Council of Europe LIAM project: aims and concrete resources
In my talk, I will address the role of the Council of Europe, the European continent’s leading human rights organization, particularly focusing the attention on its endeavour of supporting the linguistic integration of adult migrants (LIAM).
Respecting learners’ identity, their linguistic and cultural diversity, their particular personal circumstances and their varying educational biographies, is key to achieve the goals provided by the actions undertaken for LIAM.
I will give concrete examples of such actions, highlighting resources in place, as well as suggestions for stakeholders. More in details, I will present two tools developed by the Council of Europe and aimed to address the most vulnerable learners, represented in the first case by refugees and in the second case by migrants with low literacy profiles.

Dr. Nick Saville
Director of Thought Leadership at University of Cambridge Press and Assessment
Secretary-General of the Association of Language Testers in Europe (ALTE)
Systemic Learning Oriented Assessment (LOA)
The twin goals of promoting and measuring learning have been characterised as formative and summative respectively, but this familiar distinction is one which Learning Oriented Assessment challenges, because it represents these two purposes as fundamentally at odds with each other. A systemic and ecological approach seeks complementarity: informal classroom assessment and formal large-scale assessment should both contribute to the two key purposes of assessment: to provide evidence of learning and evidence for learning.
In this talk I will explain these points with reference to several publications, including Jones and Saville, 2016 and Saville, 2021.

Time: 10:30 am – 12:00 pm
Venue: Zoom
Language: Mandarin (with simultaneous interpretation in English)
Topic: How do we understand pre-Qin literature and documents?
The study of pre-Qin literature begins with solving the problem of documents. Unlike later dynasties, pre-Qin is divided into the Xia, Shang, Zhou, Eastern Zhou, and Warring States stages. In each stage, the nature and characteristics of the documents were different, and could not be summarized in general terms. There was no clear division of disciplines in the pre-Qin period, and the discipline of literature was not established; therefore, it is not possible to conduct research on the concept of post-Qin literature. In today’s academic research in literature, history, and philosophy, it is necessary to understand the nature and characteristics of pre-Qin literature.

The lecture will be conducted in Mandarin with simultaneous interpretation into English. Please register for the forum by 1 Dec 2021 (Wed) via https://umac.au1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_9NVi6G3QVUBcK90

Language, Languaging, Plurilanguaging: considerations on the nature of language and language education”
The Author considers the nature of language learning and the relevance of plurilingualism to language and language education. Citing Wilhelm von Humboldt, he reminds the audience that language is not a product but rather an activity. He then gives a brief synopsis of the philosophy of language before pointing out that as one increases in proficiency in a new language one moves from learning through automation to learning through action and finally to learning through thinking. He then presents a series of theses, guidelines, and observations on language development, language learning and language teaching pointing out that language development is an interpretative and creative process, which proceeds holistically through increasingly accurate approximations.

Taking account of plurilingualism in learning-oriented language assessment
In focusing on the importance of a language learner developing plurilingual competence, the CEFR (Council of Europe, 2001) and its Companion Volume (2020), are part of a wider shift in the emerging “multilingual turn” in language learning and teaching (May, 2014; Conteh and Meier, 2014), where the whole linguistic repertoire of a learner is valued. Little focus has so far however been paid to what that means for language assessment. In this presentation, I will define plurilingualism and its role in language learning and assessment, making the case the integration of learning and assessment helps us understand the construct of plurilingualism in language assessment. In addition, I will present a simple framework which categorises the different ways in which plurilingual competence is recognised in assessment and provide examples to illustrate these
