Abstract
The Moral realism is normally considered to consist of two theses: (1) (a) moral propositions can be true or false, and (b) at least some of them are true, and (2) their truth depends upon moral properties or facts that are mind-independent in a relevant sense. Moral realism, according to a well-known distinction, can be naturalistic, regarding moral properties and facts as natural ones, or non-naturalistic, regarding them as non-natural ones; according to a less-known, it can be action-focused, primarily concerned with the moral properties of rightness and wrongness of the action, or agent-focused, taking the moral properties of the goodness and badness of the agent as its primary concern. Combining these two classifications, we may have (1) non-naturalistic action-focused moral realism, (2) non-naturalistic agent-focused moral realism, (3) naturalistic action-focused moral realism, and (4) naturalistic agent-focused moral realism. In this talk, drawing on Zhu Xi’s work, I shall argue for and defend the 4th variety of moral realism.

Prezados professores, estudantes e parceiros,
O Departamento de Português da Universidade de Macau e o Departamento de Línguas e Cultura da Universidade de São José realizarão o seminário híbrido “PLURI 2023 – Português como Língua Pluricêntrica: conceitos e implicações em sala de aula”, a ter lugar em Macau, China, entre 28 e 30 de abril de 2023.
O seminário conta com o apoio do Instituto Guimarães Rosa (IGR) do Ministério das Relações Exteriores do Brasil (MRE), do Consulado-Geral do Brasil em Hong Kong e do Instituto Português do Oriente (IPOR), e com as parcerias do Instituto Internacional da Língua Portuguesa (IILP), do Centro de Linguística da Universidade do Porto (CLUP), do Observatório de Português Língua Estrangeira/Segunda Língua, da Cátedra UNESCO em Políticas Linguísticas para o Multilinguismo e da Casa do Brasil em Macau.
O PLURI-2023 é sobretudo uma plataforma para a formação de professores. Busca oferecer um espaço de reflexões teórico-práticas sobre ensino com base em conceitos contemporâneos de língua, cultura, identidade e comunidades. Esperamos, assim, partilhar ideias e práticas com professores de diferentes níveis de ensino.
O eixo norteador será a discussão da concepção do Português como Língua Pluricêntrica. O conceito de pluricentrismo, ao mesmo tempo em que abriu espaço para legitimar as diferentes variedades das línguas, trouxe ainda vestígios de uma linguística fundada em modelos centro-periféricos, típicos de epistemologias coloniais que continuam situando algumas línguas e as suas comunidades em lugares desprivilegiados. Nesse sentido, o encontro busca refletir sobre o conceito e discutir o seu impacto e a sua aplicação prática nas salas de aula da contemporaneidade. Apesar das discussões promovidas pelo conceito, observa-se que nas salas de aula a diversidade da língua portuguesa torna-se invisível na maioria dos espaços de ensino.
O encontro será uma oportunidade para profissionais em geral, professores em especial e estudantes de graduação e de pós-graduação manterem-se atualizados com as tendências atuais da pesquisa em torno da língua portuguesa com conferências, painéis, rodas de conversa, comunicações e oficinas.
As ideias e trabalhos debatidos no evento ganharão diferentes formatos de publicação:

Publicações online das sessões plenárias;
Livro em coedição com editoras de prestígio internacional (com comissão editorial e peer review);
Número especial de uma revista Qualis A cujo tema preliminar é “Reavaliando o conceito de pluricentrismo e as suas implicações em sala de aula”.

Eixos temáticos – não limitado a apenas estes

Conceito de pluricentrismo: discussão das bases do conceito e das interpretações que recebe nas práticas de sala de aula;
Pluricentrismo e os currículos para ensino de língua portuguesa: desafios e necessidades contemporâneos;
Variedades de português e a formação de professores, tradutores e intérpretes;
Ensino de língua portuguesa em uma perspectiva pluridiversa: reflexões e atividades para a prática de sala de aula.

DATAS IMPORTANTES:
Até 01 de abril – INSCRIÇÃO COM APRESENTAÇÃO DE COMUNICAÇÃO
Até 10 de abril – INSCRIÇÃO COMO OUVINTE (presencial/a distância)
Obs.: Professores da rede de ensino não-superior de Macau poderão participar e receber certificados que contam como ação de formação (com descrição das atividades e número de horas).

Incentivamos professores de todos os níveis de ensino a virem partilhar suas experiências concretas! Inscrevam-se e apresentem comunicações com as suas vivências de trabalho! Todos são bem-vindos!

FAH/DPHIL International Hybrid Symposium - "The virtues of memory; What we remember and how we remember can be soul-destroying or life-enhancing" by Prof. Charles Raliaferro
2022-12-14 19:00 - 20:10
Abstract
Memory, meaning, and values are deeply interrelated. While memory enables us to transcend time through narratives, there is a sense in which we transcend time (the temporally present instant) every waking moment (and in dream states). We cannot live in temporal instants (the present “now” that has no duration); rather we live in durations, events or episodes that we are able to grasp and weave together through memory (re-cognition). Memory, as it shapes narratives and stories of ourselves and others– plays an indispensable role in our personal identity and understanding of the meaning and values of life. I suggest that we have obligations to remember, especially in terms of moral accountability, and from the standpoint of gratitude toward benefactors (including ancestors and teachers), and from the perspective of Christian theism. Memory is a virtue (a good power) that can be abused or used to be life-enhancing.

FAH/DPHIL International Hybrid Symposium - "Museum Ecologies Reconsidered: Cultural Value in the Web of Life" by Prof. Colin Sterling, University of Amsterdam, Netherlands)
2022-12-09 15:45 - 17:10 | By Zoom
Abstract
In the face of rapid environmental breakdown and increased social and political uncertainty, cultural institutions around the world have mobilised to imagine alternative ways of living on and with the planet. This talk will argue that such shifts indicate more than simply a change in policy or practice, and instead point towards a fundamental reorientation of culture in the web of life. By focusing on the historical formation and evolving place of museums in this web, the talk will explore how museums have contributed to the planetary crisis through specific symbolic and material practices, but also how emerging approaches in the field might help to unravel some of the more destructive aspects of this entanglement. What might be gained if we begin to consider all museums as always co-constituted through nature? How can new museum strategies contribute to planetary flourishing?

Bio
Colin Sterling is Assistant Professor of Memory and Museums at the University of Amsterdam. He teaches across heritage and memory, museum studies and artistic research, and is a member of the Amsterdam School for Heritage, Memory and Material Culture.

FAH-DPORT-CIELA: Seminar on East Timor Portuguese: diachronic and synchronic aspects
2022-11-25 19:00 - 21:00 | By Zoom
The Research Centre for Luso-Asian Studies (CIELA) is pleased to invite all those interested to the Seminar “East Timor Portuguese: diachronic and synchronic aspects”, by Prof. Davi Albuquerque being held on November 25, 2022, at 7:00pm, via Zoom.
ABSRACT:
The Democratic Republic of Timor-Leste was the first nation to gain independence in the 21st century. Located in Southeast Asia, part of the island of Timor was a Portuguese colony from the 16th century until 1974. After that period, it suffered Indonesian domination that lasted until 1999. In 2002, it became an independent nation and elected the Portuguese language as one of the official languages, alongside Tetum-Praça, a lingua franca spoken by most of the population. The most recent investigations on the Portuguese language spoken in Timor-Leste focus on the variation in the production of speakers, in order to verify if it is a local/national variety, or if there are traces of the process of acquisition/learning of Portuguese L2 /LE, or even if they are just deviations from the European standard. The present work presents socio-historical information about Portuguese on the island of Timor and its linguistic impact on the current vernacular Portuguese spoken by East Timorese, as well as discusses the main characteristics of Portuguese spoken in that country. Such characteristics are classified as variations or innovations; separated into different levels of linguistic analysis (phonetic-phonological, morphological, syntactic and semantic); and evaluated whether they are changes in language contact or in the acquisition of Portuguese L2.
The session will be entirely conducted in Portuguese

The Department of Portuguese if FAH is pleased to invite all those interested to the International Colloquium “Belated, beyond and out of place? Avant-garde movements in non-hegemonic contexts”, being held on November 23 to 25, 2022, via Zoom.

Colloquium Info
The first decades of the 20th century witnessed the emergence of the historical avant-gardes. Their center of creation and above all diffusion was undisputed: European avant-garde groups spread the good news of aesthetic and political transgressions, ranging from new artistic forms, materials and conceptions to an everyday art of performance, mixing in an ideally undistinguishable manner art and life.
The worldwide presence of the European avant-garde movements would not have been possible without a series of new means of communication and transportation. On the one hand, the news could achieve transnational audiences through radio waves, transatlantic telegraph cables, a network of magazines and journals, pamphlets and manifestoes, faster international courier services, and last but not least the cinema and its powerful grip on the collective unconscious. On the other, swift transatlantic lines, expedite train travels and adventurous although much rarer airplane voyages allowed for an authentic procession of artists, writers and intellectuals from Europe to virtually all corners of the globe.
How did the materiality of those new means of communication and transportation impact the aesthetic production in non-hegemonic cultures and political contexts? How did this materiality implied an unprecedented sense of simultaneity, which in its turn turned upside-down traditional 19th-century notions such as belatedness, backwardness, artistic and cultural legging?
1922 has been consecrated as the annus mirabilis of Literary and Aesthetic Modernism. A century later this research project aims at writing a new history of the avant-garde movements through a Cubist approach and perspective, weaving together different times and places, cultures and historical traditions.

FAH/DPHIL Lecture Series – “Fan Li 范蠡and the Daoist Philosophy of Time and Temporality: From Laozi to Huang-Lao” by Prof. Thomas Michael, Beijing Normal University, China
2022-11-23 17:30 - 19:00 | E21-3121
Zoom: https://umac.zoom.us/j/94665357070
Abstract
The age-old tradition of Daoist philosophy continues to challenge our ability to properly recognize its unique positions, insights, and worldview. One contemporary source of this challenge derives from the excavated editions of the Daodejing, namely the Guodian Laozi and the Mawangdui Laozi, which have compelled us reconsider two terms that are foundationally planted at the heart of Daoist philosophy: heng 恒 and chang 常, both of which are commonly taken to signify “constancy/ permanence/ eternity.” The work of two eminent scholars in the field, Chen Ligui and James Wang Qingjie, have demonstrated that these two terms separately had very different ancient meanings, and that their uses in Laozi’s Daodejing fully embodied them. These findings demonstrate that the early Daoist philosophy of Huang-Lao significantly differs from the ancient Daoist philosophy of Laozi. This is nowhere more so in than in their separate understandings of time, as revealed in Laozi’s phenomenology of heng understood in terms of temporality next to Huang-Lao’s metaphysics of chang understood in terms of constancy/ permanence/ eternity.
This lecture explores Laozi’s original philosophy of temporality before turning to the “Yueyu xia” 越语下 of the Guoyu 國語, which presents a series of conversations between King Goujian of Yue and a mysterious figure named Fan Li (536-448 BC), who is recognized by some scholars as the pivotal mediating figure between Laozi’s original phenomenology and Huang-Lao’s later metaphysics.

Bio
Thomas Michael is Associate Professor in the School of Philosophy at Beijing Normal University since 2016. He received his Ph.D. in History of Religions from University of Chicago in 2001. Michael’s two primary fields of research are Daoist philosophy and Shamanism. In addition to many articles on Daoism, he has also published three books on the topic. His latest book is Philosophical Enactment and Bodily Cultivation in Early Daoism: In the Matrix of the Daodejing (Bloomsbury, 2022), in which he examines the primary contours of Laozi’s original Daoist philosophy in distinction to the later Daoist philosophy of Huang-Lao. Michael has also published several studies on the medieval Daoist, Ge Hong, including “Mountains and Early Daoism in the Writings of Ge Hong” (History of Religions 56/1:23-54, 2016), in which he highlights Ge Hong’s continuity with the philosophy and practice of Laozi’s original Daoism. Michael also has published extensively on Shamanism, and his major articles include “Shamanism Theory and the Early Chinese Wu” (Journal of the American Academy of Religion 83/3: 649-696, 2015) and “Shamanism, Eroticism, and Death: The Ritual Structures of the Nine Songs in Comparative Context” (Religions 10 (1): 1-26), in which he explores early Chinese shamanism through the lens of comparative studies.
