By imaginary, I intend that clutch of phrases, images and beliefs which make up the commonly held understanding we have of a group or community (be it an ethnicity or a nation, our own or someone else’s) which dictates the way we perceive it or them. Thus far, this Western imaginary of China has been globally dominant. However, in the 21st century, ‘China’, whose shape and form and categories we in the West  invented and maintained, is starting to escape us. The ‘China’ we have created, that we have imagined, that have dreamt up and of which we have dreamt, the China that frightened us as well as fascinated us, has slipped out grasp. We no longer have sole control over it; just as the West’s dominance over the world’s economy has waned, so has its ability to impose the planet’s global story. But before attempting to take stick of today’s China, we need to apprehend where that China has come from.   ABOUT THE SPEAKER Gregory B. Lee 利大英 is an academic, author, and broadcaster.

On 27th April, USJ launched its 2018 International Cultural Fair and Languages Day ceremony at the new Ilha Verde Campus. The new USJ senior management team, presided by Rector Prof. Fr Peter Stilwell and composed of Vice Rector Prof. Vincent Cheng Yang, Vice Rector Prof. Álvaro Barbosa, Administrator Lavena Cheong and Registrar Prof. Jenny Lao Phillips attended the ceremony together with the deans of faculties and nearly one thousand professors, staff, students and people from the local community. The event was prepared and organised by the university’s Office for International Relations and Regional Cooperation, together with the Faculty of Humanities and the Office for Student Affairs, with generous sponsorship from the Macau Foundation and the Coca-Cola Company.

The event showcased the great diversities of cultures. USJ students, professors, staff and alumni from over 40 countries and regions showed their national costumes in a parade on campus, performed folk dance on the stage, set up cultural booths with typical gastronomy tasting. They fully demonstrated the unique features of internationalisation and multi-cultures of USJ. Since the first USJ International Cultural Fair in 2010, the University has put up seven such annual events. The events aim to encourage USJ students and staff to learn more about other cultures in the world, at the same time, provides them with an opportunity to share and enjoy the features of cultures in their countries or regions. USJ students and staff come from over 50 different countries. This has prepared the ground for the success of the Cultural Fairs. Additionally, this year the Cultural Fair was combined with the USJ Languages Day, which demonstrated the unique features of the English-Chinese-Portuguese trilingual learning environment of the university.  According to its management, USJ is an international university which uses English as the means of instruction and internal communication, and requires all students to study Chinese and Portuguese.

A year 2 Bachelor of Fashion Design student, USJ, Ka I Katherine Chan has been selected into the final of the fashion show “My Chinese Dream". Organised by Macau Productivity and Technology Transfer Center with Wynn which objective was to promote Macau fashion design industry development and offer opportunities for local fashion designers and students to showcase their talents. The theme of Chan’s design is “Wrapped in Dream”, based on a design of Chinese undergarment, which clearly symbolises Chinese kids. She put in the pattern of birdlife with expression of kids’ dreams. Chan additionally made use of cloak with her design to imply the absorption of Chinese national cultures in the dreams of kids.

Other students from USJ Bachelor of Fashion Design also participated in the show with their proposals.

In cooperation with the Charity Association of Macau Business Readers, the second session of the International Conference –Inclusive Education Sports & Social Media on 17th April 2018 took place on the Ilha Verde campus of USJ from 2 to 5 pm.

A brief welcoming ceremony was held at 2:15pm on the Ilha Verde campus during which the Rector of USJ Prof. Fr Peter Stilwell welcomed guests and participants to USJ campus. Participating guests included Mr. Teng Sio Hong, Acting Deputy Director of GAES, Ms. Sou Chi Kuan, Head of Rehabilitation Service Division of IAS, and co-organiser Mr. Stefan Kuehn, Vice President of Charity Association of Macau Business Readers.

During his opening speech, Rector Fr. Peter Stilwell emphasized on USJ’s commitment to teachers’ professional development and advancement of inclusive education in Macao. Mr. Stefan Kuehn also expressed his enthusiasm about this conference which provide opportunities for enhancing the acceptance of people with intellectual disability and supporting the integration of their education in local universities. Close to 300 participants attended the event in which speakers from different places like Singapore, Israel, Germany and United States organised workshops and talks for students, parents and teachers. These speakers include Dr. Boon Hock Lim, the Founding Chairman of Wings in Singapore; Ms. Mila Pham and Ms. Debra Ruh, Chair of the United Nations’ G3ict EmployAbility Task Force; Ms. Talia Kornhauser, Vice Chair of Special Olympics Israel; and Dr. Mario Voigts, Professor for digital transformation and politics of the Quadriga University of Applied Sciences Berlin to name a few.

University of Saint Joseph worked together with the physical education organisers at Colégio Diocesano De S. José (CDSJ 6) to facilitate sport and recreation for our Inclusion education guests who attended the Inclusive Education, Sport and Social Media Conference workshops held at USJ in the afternoon. In total 40 participants took part in five areas including badminton, ping pong, and basketball. In addition, the School of Education at USJ, with the cooperation of our instructors/professors and Bachelor of Education students organized a physical movement exercise with actions of controlled movements. Afterward, a series of musical rhythms and beat dances were performed to help the students with intellectual disability (ID) to freely express themselves with music and movement.

This event was to further the understanding to enable children and adults with an intellectual disability to develop their innate skills and self-esteem in an environment which is inclusive and supportive. We invite the world to come to Macau, sharing ideas, concepts and developing further “abilities” to create a more “INCLUSIVE WORLD”.

ABOUT THE TALK

This new series of talks ‘In the Beginning was the Word - and they spoke in tongues’ will focus on ancient languages which became relevant to particular Christian communities in their historical and cultural development but are much less known than languages such as Latin or Greek. Some of these ancient languages actually became more than just liturgical languages, turning themselves into a trademark of some communities, as it is the case of Slavonic for some Eastern churches. Moreover, they function as a reminder that the diversity inside the Church goes back to its very foundation, as portrayed at the Cenacle by the image of the disciples speaking in different languages but understanding each other. Some of these ancient languages, such as Coptic or Slavonic, are still used today by their religious communities, whereas others, such as Gothic or Old-Nubian, are only known to us from leftovers of New Testament translations or other ancient Christian texts.

Ancient European Languages: Gothic, Old Slavonic, Anglo-Saxon and Old Irish

This session will look at Gothic, an ancient Germanic language known from the translation of the New Testament by the Goth-Cappadocian bishop Wulphila in the fourth century AD, at Old Slavonic, a Slavic language still used today by some of the Eastern Churches as their liturgical language, and also at Anglo-Saxon and Old Irish, which fought for first place in the run for the Christianisation of the British Islands. These ancient languages became relevant within the religious context of Europe despite the overwhelming presence of Latin in the West and the preference for Greek in the East.
