SUMMARY:FAH/DPHIL Lecture Series – “The Case for Commitment” by Prof. Sarah Paul\, NYU Abu Dhabi
DESCRIPTION:Zoom: https://umac.zoom.us/j/91741709275 \nPassword: 667156 \n  \nAbstract \nTheories of structural\, instrumental rationality generally do not make reference to anything we might call ‘commitment’\, beyond the sense in which all intentions are a kind of settled commitment.  Some views do allow for things like commitment\, resolutions\, or faith to affect how we ought to reason\, but these tend to be characterized as all-or-nothing notions whose role is to preserve inertia by preventing reconsideration and/or desensitizing us to new evidence.  I conjecture that we’re led to this overly narrow conception of commitment by thinking of temptation as the primary cause of giving up on an end prematurely\, and overlooking the importance of obstacles like procrastination and despair.  In my talk\, I will try to articulate a puzzle about acting in the face of uncertainty\, concerning how we should navigate the tensions involved in trying hard to achieve a goal\, while at the same time planning for the possibility of failure and remaining open to giving up.  Such decisions are not only difficult to make\, but also to live with over time.  I argue that our understanding of these dynamics is deepened by bringing in a degreed notion of commitment that involves far more than merely blocking the effects of temptation. \n  \nBio \nSarah Paul is Professor of Philosophy at NYU Abu Dhabi and a Global Network Professor of Philosophy at NYU.  Before joining NYU in 2019\, she was a faculty member at the University of Wisconsin-Madison for nine years.  She is the author of Philosophy of Action:  A Contemporary Introduction (Routledge Press 2021)\, as well as articles that have appeared in Ethics\, Philosophers’ Imprint\, the Australasian Journal of Philosophy\, and Philosophical Studies. She is currently working on a book titled Striving with Jennifer Morton\, under contract with OUP.

SUMMARY:UMDVS-FAH-DPORT: Lecture by PROFESSOR JOÃO CEZAR DE CASTRO ROCHA (UERJ/FAPERJ)
DESCRIPTION:Dear Professors and Students\, \nWe would like to cordially invite you to attend the following UMDVS Lecture by PROFESSOR JOÃO CEZAR DE CASTRO ROCHA (UERJ/FAPERJ): \n  \nUMDVS LECTURE 2023 \nPROFESSOR JOÃO CEZAR DE CASTRO ROCHA (UERJ/FAPERJ) \nDate: December 5\, 2023 \nTime: 16:00 \nVenue: E4-G053 – University of Macau \nPoetics of Emulation and Reading Across Cultures: Towards a Non-Hegemonic Theoretical Framework \n  \nThe theoretical framework proposed in this lecture advances the concepts of Shakespearean cultures and poetics of emulation. In both cases\, I seek to expand on the challenge of mimesis\, made even keener by the emergence of the world-system in the modern era. Shakespearean cultures\, in general\, grew out of non-hegemonic environments; thus\, the poetics of emulation tends to be honed amidst such circumstances. What I seek is to understand the worldview of those cultures and the procedures of this poetics. This is the concern behind the project of a “poetics of emulation” characteristic of Shakespearean cultures\, a poetics articulated in situations of asymmetrical power dynamics. This strategy includes an array of procedures employed by intellectuals\, writers\, and artists who find themselves on the less fortunate side of such exchanges\, be they cultural\, political\, or economic. \n

SUMMARY:FAH/DPHIL Lecture Series – “Intention\, Ethics\, and Convention in Daoism: Guo Xiang on Ziran (self-so) and Wuwei (non-action)” by Prof. Paul J. D’Ambrosio\, East China Normal University\, China
DESCRIPTION:Zoom: https://umac.zoom.us/j/93533585933 \nPassword: 892703 \n  \nAbstract \nMuch contemporary scholarship on ziran and wuwei views these concepts\, which are often coupled\, as being 1) anti-intention\, effort\, purpose\, and self-consciousness; 2) indicative of a distinct type of ethics and/or morality; and 3) a rejection of following custom and convention. This discussion will draw largely on the philosophy of Guo Xiang to demonstrate that these widely agreed upon avenues of interpretation are limited and run contrary to other more nuanced readings of ziran and wuwei. I argue that ziran and wuwei are better appreciated as speaking to attitudes\, that they should be understood in terms of degrees rather than categories\, and that the Laozi and Zhuangzi offer them as advice for ways of reflecting—they are not standardizable ethical rules. In this way\, we can see how ziran and wuwei include intention and effort\, are anti (most forms of) ethics and morality\, and are inherently intertwined with customs and convention. \n  \nBio \nPaul J. D’Ambrosio is a professor of Chinese philosophy at East China Normal University (ECNU)\, fellow of the Institute of Modern Chinese Thought and Culture\, dean of the Center for Intercultural Research\, co-director of the English language graduate program all at ECNU. In addition he serves as research fellow at the Ma Yifu Academy of Zhejiang University. He is coauthor (with Hans-Georg Moeller) of You and Your Profile (2021) and Genuine Pretending (both on Columbia University Press\, 2017)\, author of 真假之间 (Between Genuineness and Pretense) (Kongxue tang\, 2020)\, and editor (with Michael Sandel) of Encountering China (Harvard University Press\, 2018). He has authored over 100 articles and reviews and translated almost a dozen books. Additionally\, he is the founder and director of the online academic forum 四海為學 “Collaborative Learning.”

SUMMARY:FAH-DPORT: Lecture and Documentary by PROFESSOR ZHANG LONGXI (CUHK/ Hunan Normal University)
DESCRIPTION:Dear Professors and Students\, \nWe would like to cordially invite you to attend the following Lecture and Documentary by PROFESSOR ZHANG LONGXI (CUHK/ Hunan Normal University). \n  \nPROFESSOR ZHANG LONGXI (CUHK/ Hunan Normal University) \nDate: December 6\, 2023\nTime: 3:00pm\nVenue: E4-G053 – University of Macau \nCOMPARATIVE LITERATURE: BETWEEN WORLDS \nComparative literature was established in 19th-century Europe with its disciplinary emphasis on the command of different languages and literatures beyond the limitations of nationalist tendencies and their correlative monolingualism. However\, until recently\, the languages and literatures in the purview of comparative literature were all European\, making the discipline almost inevitably Eurocentric. It is in our time with an increasingly strong sense of globalization and the necessity of transcending Eurocentrism that comparative literature has gradually shifted its focus on non-European literary traditions\, particularly in East-West comparative studies and studies of the Global South. As a comparatist deeply believing in the value of cross-cultural understanding of all literary and cultural traditions\, I have been engaged in East-West studies and worked toward the cosmopolitan vision of treating the world’s literatures as all potentially making contributions to what we can proudly call human culture. The realization of such a vision is possible in our time and it is the task of all comparatists to make it happen\, which will have important implications for the world we are living in today. \n  \nAfter the lecture by Professor ZHANG LONGXI\, a 40-minute documentary about his work\, directed by Prof. João Cezar de Castro Rocha (UERJ\, UMDVS)\, will be shown\, followed by a debate moderated by Prof. Castro Rocha. \n  \nProf. ZHANG LONGXI has authored numerous books including World Literature as Discovery. Expanding the World Literary Canon (2024\, Routledge)\, A History of Chinese Literature (2023\, Routledge)\, From Comparison to World Literature (2015\, State University of New York Press)\, Mighty Opposities: From Dichotomies to Differences in the Comparative Study of China (1998\, Stanford)\,The Tao and the Logos: Literary Hermeneutics\, East and West (1992\, Duke). He was President of the International Comparative Literature Association for 2016-2019. With David Damrosch\, Theo D’haen and Francesca Orsini\, he serves as an Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of World Literature.

SUMMARY:UM-FAH-DPORT: Seminar by Prof. Quintino Lopes on "PHONLAB project: Coimbra – Harvard. Rethinking 20th-century scientific centres and peripheries"
DESCRIPTION:Dear Professors and Students\, \n  \nWe are most pleased to invite all to attend the following Seminar by Prof. Quintino Lopes\, from the Instituto de História Contemporânea\, Universidade Nova de Lisboa; Universidade de Évora / IN2PAST. \n  \nBIO \nProfessor Quintino Lopes is a Principal Investigator of the FCT-funded R&D team project: “Phonetics Laboratory: Coimbra – Harvard. Rethinking 20th-century scientific centres and peripheries” (2022.06811.PTDC). The value of this research\, which brings scientific developments in the field of Experimental Phonetics during the 20th century into the mainstream of the History of Science\, is demonstrated by the recognition granted by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences (RSAS) with a one-day symposium entitled “Armando de Lacerda: a pioneer of Experimental Phonetics”. The guest speaker’s leading role in this field is also underlined by the joint publication of a book by Technische Universität Dresden Press (2022) and another by the RSAS Center for History of Science (2023). This research has been adapted as content of the curricular programme for secondary schools across Europe as part of the “Sharing European Histories” project (Euroclio; Evens Foundation)\, and has been translated into 12 different languages. \n  \nABSTRACT \nPHONLAB project: Coimbra – Harvard. Rethinking 20th-century scientific centres and peripheries \n\nSpeech recognition and synthesis technology is ubiquitous in today’s society and Experimental Phonetics provides an important basis for the development of these technologies. Speech control systems used in mobile phones\, digital dictionaries\, websites adapted for users with visual impairments and distance education are examples of new interfaces for communication between humans and machines developed thanks to essential work in the field of Experimental Phonetics. In addition to applications for language teaching. \nThe aim of PHONLAB is to promote knowledge about the development of Experimental Phonetics\, bringing the field into the mainstream of History of Science research. We will conduct a case study of the Coimbra Phonetics Laboratory (1936-1979). Created by Portuguese phonetician Armando de Lacerda (1902-1984)\, the laboratory attracted scientists from leading universities such as Harvard\, Cambridge and the Sorbonne\, who sought specialist training in the use of innovative laboratory research techniques\, absent from other laboratories around the world. The aim of PHONLAB is to contribute to increasing our knowledge of a crucially important but neglected global history topic. We seek to produce a biography of the laboratory\, identifying and documenting methods\, instruments and techniques\, providing recognition for its actors and the scientific networks it was part of. The aim is thus to provide an understanding of the scientific and social impact of the laboratory at the global level. The relevance of this project also derives from the fact that numerous unique historical sources that document the work of this laboratory and portray the evolution of Experimental Phonetics throughout the 20th century are in a poor condition and may be lost. The analysis of these historical sources will enable us to understand the nature and impact of scientific practices at the laboratory\, and could serve as the basis for a comparison with studies of other laboratories. By opening up new perspectives in the History of Experimental Phonetics in the 20th century\, PHONLAB research will enrich historical narratives and contribute to the reassessment of traditional dichotomies such as that of the ‘creative centre’ versus the ‘passive periphery’. Rediscovering early developments in the field of Experimental Phonetics may have a positive impact on our current understanding of Phonetics and potentially lead to new progress in the field. \n\nIN PORTUGUESE LANGUAGE \n

SUMMARY:FAH/DPHIL Lecture Series – “State Ritual\, Political Legitimacy\, and Religious Practice of the Jidu in Imperial China” by Prof. Li Teng\, Shijiazhuang Tiedao University\, China
DESCRIPTION:Zoom: https://umac.zoom.us/j/92871894953 \nPassword: 865371 \n  \nAbstract \nThe Jidu 濟瀆 (i.e.\, the Ji River 濟水)\, was one of the four waterways (sidu 四瀆) in imperial China. Even though it vanished a long time ago\, the Jidu had always been a part of the traditional Chinese ritual system of mountain- and water-directed state sacrifices. From the Western Han dynasty to the Qing dynasty\, it continuously received regular state sacrifices. However\, Western scholars have failed to notice it. Some modern Chinese and Japanese scholars have studied the development of the Jidu sacrifice\, but its embodied political and religious significances for the state and local society were largely ignored. To remedy this neglect\, I provide here\, with new discoveries and conclusions\, the first comprehensive study of the Jidu sacrifice in imperial China. \n\nIn this lecture\, I will analyze the ideas of state authority\, political legitimacy\, religious belief\, and cosmology\, as these underlie the ritual performance concerning the Jidu. I also argue that the Jidu was not only tightly associated with controlling water but was also a symbol and mechanism of political legitimacy. Relying on concrete official and local records\, in the third section I further investigate the role that the Jidu God played in local society. I will prove that\, after the Song dynasty\, the Jidu God was transformed into a regional protector of local society and savior of local people in addition to an official water god. \n  \nBio \nLi Teng is now an Assistant Professor at Shijiazhuang Tiedao University\, as well as post-doctor at Hebei Normal University. He got his PhD in Philosophy and Religious Studies from University of Macau in 2021. He is the coauthor of The Study of Buddhism in Modern Macau 當代澳門佛教問題研究 (The Chinese University of Hong Kong Press\, 2020). He has also published over twenty articles in Chinese and English.
