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 (Asia/Macau) | 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-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.

FAH/PHIL Guest Lecture – “Animal Welfarism and Ritual Slaughtering” by Prof. Luís Cordeiro-Rodrigues, Hunan University, China
2019-11-26 16:00 - 17:30 | E21-3118
Abstract:
Some philosophers have contended that animal ritual slaughtering is morally unjustified because cultural claims for participation and identification are weaker moral claims than the moral claims for animals not suffering or to be killed unnecessarily. These philosophers contend that it is sufficient to demonstrate the moral wrongness of ritual slaughtering by endorsing a weak perspective on animals’ interests. Particularly, the claim is that in order to demonstrate the moral wrongness of animal slaughtering it is sufficient to endorse the view that animals have a moral status, albeit lower than the ones of humans, which confers to them some morally relevant interests. In this article, I argue that this weak perspective on animals’ interests is insufficient to prescribe animal slaughtering as morally wrong. I contend that these philosophers have underestimated the neo-colonial implications of their position. Thus, by engaging with postcolonial theory, I argue that, if one starts from a weak view of animals’ interests, ritual slaughtering practices can be morally justified.

FAH/PHIL Guest Lecture – “Bi-Level Virtue Epistemology” by Prof. Mi Chienkuo, Soochow University, Taiwan
2019-11-22 16:00 | E22-G010
Abstract
At the beginning, I would bring in Ernest Sosa’s project of performance-based normativity, in which the 3-A model of evaluating a performance is introduced. That means, in order to be a good performance, three important elements are required: they are accuracy, adroitness, and aptness. In addition, the model can be stacked up and move from aptness to meta-aptness and full aptness. And then, I will continue to explore action-based normativity (or agency-based normativity), in which we can obtain two frameworks of human actions or agency: Framework I: The loosely deontic framework (one that highlights functional and mechanical faculties). It is an intermediate region, which admits a kind of agency involved in functional actions, the unfree agency of proper functioning. Agents who merely function are subject to flaws or faults, rather than sins or infractions (or violations). Framework II: The more strict deontic framework (one that presupposes free and intentional determination). In the region of freedom, the agency involved in the actions or performances which are freely determined endeavors can be either praised or blamed. Finally, I will touch upon an important Confucian text, The Great Learning, and discuss its possible dimension of virtue epistemology. The Great Learning is concerned with the idea of “reflection” (the higher-order cognitive competence or meta-cognition), it is also concerned with the idea of “extended knowledge”. According to The Great Learning, it is the higher-order virtue that can allow us to start on the path to the achievement of the best kind of epistemic goods, such as understanding and wisdom. The Great Learning instructs us that we should begin with the “comprehension of things”. This means that we should, in a systematic way, take in a subject matter or information. Eventually this will allow us to correct our own mind through reflection, and so facilitate the strengthening of open-mindedness, intellectual humility and intellectual fairness, and cooperation with others.

FAH-DHIST Guest Lecture – “The Domestic Disciplines and Approaches of Scholarly Research: the Research about Sinologist Family in Qing Dynasty 治學的家法與途徑——關於清代漢學家族研究”
2019-11-20 15:00 | E21-3121
The domestic disciplines and approaches of scholarly research: the research about Sinologist family in Qing dynasty
The Sinology in Qing dynasty is a crucial content of civil academy, the domestic disciplines are its main approach for the continuation. The concept of domestic discipline refers to the aims, methods and approaches of scholarship. This concept originated from the research about Confucian classics in Han dynasty and continued to Qing dynasty. This study should combine the transformation of neo-Confucianism to Sinology and the context of Sinology in the civil academic research, to explore the evolution of academic research in Qing dynasty with the new view of Sociocultural history.

治學的家法與途徑——關於清代漢學家族研究
清代漢學作為民間學術的重要內容，它的傳衍以家法為主要途徑。家法概念是指治學的宗旨、方法和途經，這一概念源於漢代的經學研究，一直延續至清代。應結合清初廟堂理學向漢學的轉變和漢學在民間學術研究中的脈絡，以社會文化史的新視角探索清代學術的演變。

FAH-DCLL Academic Seminar: “A Minimalist perspective on modification structures — A case study of the de-construction in Chinese” by Prof. Cheng Gong 人文學院中國語言文學系學術講座：““的”字結構的句法形態性質”- 程工教授
2019-11-20 11:30 | E21-3118
摘要：對於漢語中的“的”，傳統語法中主要有兩種看法，一種認為它起定語標記作用（“的2”）；另一種認為它是名詞化標記（“的3”），其所在短語與被修飾的核心NP屬於同位性成分。生成語法中對“的”則有限定詞（D）、標句詞（C）、賦格成分（K）等不同分析方式。本講認為，漢語中與定語相關的修飾結構的底層是[[XP 的2][的3 YP]]。其中“的2”是引入修飾語的功能語素，負責把其所在短語轉化為修飾語(Modification Phrase)（參看Rubin 1994，2003）；“的3”則是輕名詞性中心語（n*），可由指代詞、否定詞、領屬詞和數量詞等成分擔任，語義上表現出確定性（specificity）。[XP 的2]和[的3 YP] 兩個短語由Chomsky（2001）所說的對合併（pair Merge組合在一起。在後句法階段，處於線性毗鄰局域的[的2]和[的3]語素在官話中減縮為“的”，形成合音（portmanteau）現象。

FAH-DCLL Academic Seminar: “Semantic Research and Dictionary Definitions” by Prof. Tan Jingchun 人文學院中國語言文學系學術講座：“語義研究與詞典釋義”- 譚景春教授
2019-11-20 10:00 | E21-3118
摘要：本文主要介紹語義研究對詞典釋義的促進作用。1.詞語的結構義和詞典釋義。詞義是詞本身具有的意義，而結構義是詞和詞組合後產生的意義。一般說來，一個結構所表達的意義總是大於各組成成分的簡單相加。也就是說，不是1+1=2，而是1+1>2。這“大於”的部分就是結構義。根據能否類推可以把結構義分為可類推的結構義和不能類推的結構義。不可類推的結構義有可能轉變為詞義。2.名詞的用途義。用品是名物詞中的一個小類，主要是指人們日常生活和生產勞動中使用的各種器具和工具。用品詞的詞義可以概括為三個方面或三種語義類別：用途、形狀、材料。釋義中有的只有“用途”一種，有的有“用途、形狀”或“用途、材料”兩種，有的“用途、形狀、材料”三種都有，取其中的最大值。用品詞的基本釋義方式可以概括為：表示用途、形狀、材料的詞語 + 類語詞。3.字面義與語境義的區分。字面義是指詞語字面上表示的意義，也就是詞語本身的意義。語境義是指詞語在一定語境中含有的意義，包括蘊含義、上下文義等。詞典釋義時要注意區分詞語的字面義和詞語的語境義，不能把詞語組合後蘊含的意義歸到某個詞上，也不能把上下文的意義帶進某個詞的釋文中。

FAH-DCLL Academic Seminar: “Why Chinese doesn’t have a major class of adjectives: A revisit based on new evidence” by Prof. Zhang Min 人文學院中國語言文學系學術講座：“再論漢語沒有獨立形容詞類：從比較證據及內部證據看”- 張敏教授
2019-11-15 15:45 | E21-3118
摘要：在有獨立形容詞類的世界語言裡，形容詞的原型功能是直接作定語（名詞短語裡的修飾語），一般不能直接作謂語（它是動詞的原型功能）（Croft 1991、Hengeveld 1992）。漢語語法學界鑒於動詞、形容詞均可直接作謂語，傳統上將二者合歸「謂詞」；一些學者還認爲漢語的形容詞在句法層面也不能直接作定語。因此「漢語沒有獨立的形容詞類」成爲主流看法。上述看法在近年來受到一些直接的挑戰，如Dixon（2004）、Paul（2005、2015） 等（尤其是後者，論證頗有力度）；此外一些針對確有獨立形容詞類的語言的研究也對上述看法構成間接挑戰，如Larson（1998）、Cinque（2014）等有關日爾曼語、羅曼語裡形容詞性NP/DP修飾語之別的研究。本講以現代漢語內、外兩方面證據說明，新近提出的反證均不足以推翻原有的看法。

FAH-DPORT: Seminar on “The musical theatre in Brazil” by Prof. Larissa Oliveira Neves Catalão, Universidade Estadual de Campinas
2019-11-15 15:00 - 17:00 | E21-G047
ABSTRACT:
The musical theatre in Brazil
Brazilian theatre is as ambiguous as its own audience history and culture. However during many years, popular theatre was considered inferior when compared to European art forms. Despite that, in the end of the 19th century, popular theatre left the streets and moved to theatre houses. This fact changed the way the plays were produced, leading to new forms of writing​, acting and stageset building, which led to the emergence of modern Brazilian theatre in the 1940’s. Based on the most influential Brazilian play texts, this lecture intends to present and analyze the history of Brazil’s musical theatre.

FAH-DHIST Guest Lecture – “Pingpiao 憑票”and “Qiantie 錢帖”: Commercial Papers and Folk Paper Money in Qing China as seen from the Hakka and the Jinshang (晉商) Documents
2019-11-15 15:00 | E21-G002
“Pingpiao 憑票”and “Qiantie 錢帖”: Commercial Papers and Folk Paper Money in Qing China as seen from the Hakka and the Jinshang (晉商) Documents

Certain Pingpiao (憑票) circulated within some local rural markets in southeastern China during the Qing Dynasty. Pingpiao, a kind of exchange medium that functioned as promissory note(本 票) and check (支票) became a substitute of money. Meanwhile, amongst local markets in Shanxi, Qiantie (錢帖), another kind of monetary note, emerged and developed its circulation up to regional markets. Pingpiao and Qiantie hence worked to form commercial-capitalism in China.

憑票與錢帖:清代中國的商業票據與民間紙幣——以客家文書與晉商文書為例

在清代東南鄉村的地方小市場中，通行一種具有現代金融工具性質的“憑票＂。具有本票與支票性質的“憑票＂承擔商品交換之媒介功能，成為貨幣的代用品;而在山西地方小市場中，則通行一種具有貨幣性質的＂錢帖＂，其流通範圍擴大至區域市場。憑票與錢帖共同塑造了清代具有中國特色的商業資本社會。

FAH-DPORT: Seminar on “O Teatro e a Literatura em Portugal e no Brasil” at Rui Cunha Foundation
2019-11-13 18:30 - 20:30 | Fundação Rui Cunha Av. da Praia Grande Nº 749 -R/C MACAU
A Fundação Rui Cunha, e o Departamento de Português da Faculdade de Artes e Humanidades da Universidade de Macau, realizarão no, dia 13 de Novembro, Quarta-feira, às 18h30, na Fundação Rui Cunha a conferência O Teatro e a Literatura em Portugal e no Brasil.
Nesta conferência teremos como convidadas, as Senhoras Professoras Larissa Neves Catalão, do Departamento de Artes, da Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Brasil e a Professora Manuela Carvalho, do Departamento de Português, da Faculdade de Letras, da Universidade de Macau.
O Teatro e literatura no Brasil: algumas relações, será o tema da intervenção da Senhora Professora Larissa Catalão, onde serão apresentadas algumas relações entre teatro e literatura, tomando como exemplos peças brasileiras. O teatro é um gênero literário, mas com a particularidade de ser escrito para ser encenado. Assim, procurar-se-á compreender melhor as características do texto teatral, correlacionando-as a outros géneros como a comédia, o drama e a tragédia.
Vamos lá rebentar com isto”: os palcos e as páginas do teatro português contemporâneo, foi o título escolhido pela Senhora Professora Manuela Carvalho, para ilustrar a sua apresentação.
A frase do título, tal como o espectáculo de onde deriva – Padam Padam do Teatro Praga (2009), com texto de José Maria Vieira Mendes (publicado em 2016), é talvez emblemática de uma tendência que marca a dramaturgia portuguesa actual: a de uma relação complexa (entre a ruptura e o diálogo) com a tradição teatral escrita e representada em Portugal, a de uma fragmentação e incompletude da escrita dramática e do espectáculo.
Partindo de dois exemplos contemporâneos, nomeadamente o trabalho dos dramaturgos José Maria Vieira Mendes e Tiago Rodrigues, e respectivamente a colaboração com os dois colectivos Teatro Praga e Mundo Perfeito, pretende-se reflectir sobre como textos e palcos se articulam e se questionam mutuamente; como escritores e artistas de teatro respondem à contaminação de outras artes e media, num período particularmente rico do teatro português (última década).
Propõe-se, também, dar conta das características mais marcantes da criação teatral contemporânea em Portugal.
A sessão será moderada pelo Prof. Dr. Gabriel Antunes de Araújo, Professor do Departamento de Português da Faculdade de Artes e Humanidades da Universidade de Macau.
A conferência será proferida em língua portuguesa.
A Entrada é livre.
Contamos Consigo! Por Macau Mais e Melhor!

FAH/PHIL Philosophy and Religious Studies Lecture Series – “The Conception of Time in Classical Confucianism: The Correspondence and Interaction between the Time of History and the Time of Ethics” by Dr. Leung Yat Hung
2019-11-13 17:00 | E21-3118
Abstract
This talk focuses on the two types of conception of time, namely, the time of history and the time of ethics. The former is a conception of time that one views or situates one’s lifetime in or with history, whereas the latter a time of our personal lifetime interrupted by the intervention of the other and the accompanied ethical significance. This talk argues that while Classical Confucianism has interesting specifications about these two conceptions of time, more importantly, it shows a correspondence and interaction of the two, which brings us two advantages: It is not difficult to catch up with what our tradition has been aiming at through ethical practices, and the tradition in turns provides motivation for us to be ethical.

FAH-DPORT: Workshop by Professor Igor da Silva on “Approaching Translation and related Tasks as Processes” from November 12 to 13, 2019
2019-11-12 19:00 - 2019-11-13 22:00 | E21-G049
ABSTRACT
Discussion of the expertise framework and its potential to tap into translation and interpreting, especially from an expert-performance approach. The major topics include: expertise as the result of deliberate practice; the non-transference of expertise across domains; the role of translation in translator’s expertise per se and in comparison to field specialist’s expertise; the implications of studies of expertise in writing and reading to studies of translation expertise; and the implication of the notion of interactional expertise to the study of translation expertise and interpreting expertise. Also, the seminar analyze the translation and related tasks (including reading, writing, and post-editing) as processes that involve automatisms and also require cognitive effort to solve problems.

FAH-DCLL Academic Seminar: “Comparison of literature Texts and Research on the Evolution of Early Modern Chinese” by Prof. Zhang Meilan 人文學院中國語言文學系學術講座：“文獻文本比較與近代 漢語演變研究”- 張美蘭教授
2019-10-31 14:45 | E21-3118
摘要：文本（Text），或因文獻刊刻版本不同，或因傳抄過程中輾轉引用，或因編修者個人的傾向不同，所處時代的影響，其流布方式多樣。文獻文本變革是語言變異的重要線索。尤其是同一文獻多文本、多途徑傳播，成為我們瞭解語言文化歷時演變的寶貴資料。不同版本用字、用詞及句法異同是漢語語言研究的重要材料。多版本綜合比較作為一種研究方法，也是尋找語言發展變化的一個重要視角。講座將以這一線索展開，說明近代漢語語言歷史變化的特點。
