Voices, Glances, Memories: Commemoration of the Centenary of José Cardoso Pires
José Cardoso Pires (1925–1998) is considered as an indispensable reference in 20th-century Portuguese literary history. His works offer profound analyzes of the intricate interplay between power, identity, and memory. Through a distinctive narrative style and acute social observation, he chronicled Portugal's social transformations and individual destinies during the latter half of the 20th century. This exhibition will explore Cardoso Pires' literary heritage and spiritual world through three core dimensions—Voices, Glances, and Memories—offering a multi-faceted, immersive experience. It examines how literature holds the weight of both individual and collective memory, thereby fostering public engagement with and better understanding of his works. Exhibition – Voices, Glances, Memories: Commemoration of the Centenary of José Cardoso Pires Date and Time: 22/09-19/12/2025 Venue: Sky Garden, […]

FAH/DPHIL Work-in-progress Seminar – “Beyond Universal Templates: The Three Ethical Indicators (3EIR) and the Art of Contextual Conservation” by Ms. Lao Teng Wai
FAH/DPHIL Work-in-progress Seminar – “Beyond Universal Templates: The Three Ethical Indicators (3EIR) and the Art of Contextual Conservation” by Ms. Lao Teng Wai
Microsoft Teams: https://go.um.edu.mo/rx3pei7o Abstract Properties inscribed under the UNESCO World Heritage Convention face a persistent ethical challenge: reconciling internationally mandated conservation standards with diverse cultural ontologies. This article explores this tension through a comparative analysis of Japan’s Hōryū-ji Temple Complex and Norway’s Urnes Stave Church, two wooden religious structures preserved through different methods rooted in distinct cultures. At Hōryū-ji, cyclical reconstruction embodies the Buddhist principle of impermanence, challenging the Venice Charter’s emphasis on material authenticity. Conversely, Urnes prioritises minimal intervention and the preservation of original fabric, reflecting a Nordic ethic of material authenticity that complicates the Nara Document’s focus on living heritage. Drawing on Wittgenstein’s concept of “family resemblances” and François Jullien’s critique of homogenized universality, this paper underlines […]
