FAH/DPHIL Lecture Series – “After Order: Interregnum and Ethics of Disorder in Global Politics” by Prof. Xiaoyu Lu, Peking University, China
2023-03-15 17:30 - 19:00 UTC | E21-3118 or via Zoom

Abstract
Departing from the concept of “failed world”, this lecture explores the politics of co-living in the time of uncertainty. The liminal and in-between state of international society is no longer a state of exception, but a state of inception that introduces overlapping layers of hybrid orders and norms. Instead of proposing alternative world orders as attempts to formulate a minimalist morality, this lecture overturns the direction of inquiry and asks how we can manage to live in disorder, in the absence of normative consensus. It proposes a new form of cosmopolitanism, that is built on and adapted to contingencies, risks and ruins of our existing political and ecological disasters, and envisions an emancipatory politics of dissensus.

FAH/DPHIL Lecture Series – “Kang Youwei on Sexual Equality” by Prof. Xinyan Jiang, University of Redlands, USA
2023-03-01 13:30 - 15:00 | E21A-G047
Zoom: https://umac.zoom.us/j/94306394241
Password: [REDACTED]

Abstract
This talk examines Kang Youwei’s view of sexual equality based on the study of his The Book of the Great Unity (Da Tong Shu 《大同書》). In the existing literature Kang’s feminism has rarely been discussed in depth, even though the volume on women’s oppression and liberation is one of the most significant parts of The Book of the Great Unity. In the talk I argue that Kang’s critique of the subjection of women is the most systematic, profound, and fierce in the history of modern Chinese philosophy. Although his theory of sexual equality is essentially the combination of liberalism, utilitarianism, and socialism, his work on the subject should be given a special place in modern feminist philosophy. Unlike Western feminist thinkers, Kang understood the suffering of oppressed women in non-Western countries, especially in China, and spoke out for them in a way that no one did before. His work on sexual equality remains very relevance today, especially to women’s liberation in developing countries.

Hello UM students! Exciting news from the English Writing and Communication Centre (EWCC), English Language Centre of FAH!
In March 2023, EWCC is holding our first-ever “Communication Month” to celebrate the joy of speaking and effective communication! Our theme this year is: “Sit Down, Speak Up.” Our featured activities include an Open House event, three workshops in the “Guest Talk Series” and three workshops in the “Academic Workshop Series”.
Our Open House on 8th March welcomes students to freely drop by at EWCC. Students can know more about EWCC and have fun speaking English. This day will mark the onset of the Communication Month. The rest of our activities throughout the month will give students the opportunity to “sit down” among peers and “speak up”, putting what they have learned in the workshops into practice. Students who excel in these activities will be awarded book coupons as prizes.
To learn more about our workshop series, check out our posters! Students will receive a certificate of completion from the ELC if they have full participation in the guest talk series (3 workshops) or the academic workshop series (3 workshops).

FAH/DPHIL Lecture Series – “Small Atomes of Themselves a World May Make” by Prof. Claudio Calosi, University of Geneva, Switzerland

Abstract
Atomism is the thesis that everything is ultimately composed of atoms. Typically, this thesis is characterized by an axiom stating, more simply, that everything has atomic parts. In the talk I argue that the success of this standard characterization crucially depends both on how the notion of sum and composition are defined. In particular, I put forward a novel definition of mereological sum such that: (i) is not equivalent to extant definitions in the literature, provided no strong decomposition principle is assumed; (ii) can be used to claim that the standard characterization of atomism fails in that having atomic parts is not sufficient to be the sum of atoms; and (iii) delivers a purely mereological distinction between structured and unstructured wholes, (iv) accounts for cases of hierarchical composition.

FAH/DPHIL Lecture Series – “Agent-Focused Moral Realism: Zhu Xi's Virtue Ethics Approach to Virtue Ethics” by Prof. Huang Yong, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong
2023-02-01 17:30 - 19:00 | E21-3118 or via Zoom

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.

Universidade de São José

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?
