Public Lecture The Spectacle of the 2010 Shanghai World Expo

By Prof. Paul Lee Moderated by Prof. José Simões

Thursday, 22 May 2014, 6:30 p.m. Speakers Hall, University of Saint Joseph

Organised by USJ Faculty of Creative Industries Sponsored by Macao Foundation

Free Admission ‧ All are welcome Refreshments will be offered after the talk

  ABOUT THE TALK This public lecture will examine the designs of national pavilions from the 2010 Shanghai World Expo. These pavilions can be considered as self-portraits of the countries participating at the World Expo. The architectural design of the pavilions becomes very important as each country tries to showcase its self-defined national identity and clamors for the attention of the millions of visitors. In their attempts to dazzle the public many of the pavilions become spectacles of contemporary design and technology. But at the same time these over-produced designs also turn into examples of excessive consumption and banality.   ABOUT THE SPEAKER Paul Lee received his M.F.A. from Cranbrook Academy of Art in Bloomfield Hills in Michigan, an A.B. from Hamilton College in New York and an International Baccalaureate (IB) from the United World College of the Atlantic in Wales. His video and photography has been exhibited in group and solo exhibitions in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Seattle, Philadelphia, Cleveland, Detroit, San Antonio and Vladivostok, Russia. In 2004 Paul Lee’s photographs were featured in the exhibition, “The Art of Tennessee” at the Frist Center for the Visual Arts in Nashville. Click here to register..."

Largo de Santo Agostinho30th April 2014 (Wednesday), 06.30-07.30 p.m. Title: Buildings and Books Speaker: Prof. Thomas Daniell Summary: Architects have always used books to promulgate their ideas. This presentation will look at the history and influence of the architectural monograph, the place of the library within an architecture school, and the importance of publishing for architecture. Venue: University of Saint Joseph. Rua de Londres 16, Library Room 2 (NAPE) 7th May 2014 (Wednesday), 06.30-08.00 p.m. Title: Bards, Angels and Books Speaker: Prof. Vera Borges Summary: In many traditions the character of the wandering poet arises, as an outcast but paradoxically as an essential part of the social fabric as well. Poets speak like oracles, when inspired, or (only) as men speaking to other men; more radically, some think poets should speak in a plain language that even cats and dogs can read. Poetry has been understood as a sui generis part of literature, perhaps closer to music or even to theological revelation than to other literary genres. We propose to look at two books existing in USJ Library as a metonymy for poetry - a Portuguese translation of Li Bai and an English version of the Galician-Portuguese troubadours, reflecting on the importance of books of poetry, these days, in particular for students of such an institution as USJ. Venue: University of Saint Joseph. Rua de Londres 16, Library Room 2 (NAPE) Title: Symbols and Literary Devices in Short Stories: Exploring Depth in Literary Reading Speaker:  Dr. Romulo Alegre Summary: Symbols appear in literature and give out differentiated meanings according to their use in the literary texts. In this presentation, the universal, invested, and conventional meanings of symbols are explored through their use in short stories. The presentation also attempts to explore literary devices used in the selected short stories. Venue: University of Saint Joseph. Rua de Londres 16, Library Room 2 (NAPE) 14th May 2014 (Wednesday), 06.30-08.00 p.m.   Title: True Stories behind the History of Macau, by George Chinnery Presenter: Dr. Vitor Teixeira Summary: Drawing and Painting, or a kind of archaeology of the Image in the artworks of George Chinnery (London, 1774-Macau, 1852), major artist and portraitist of the eternal blend spot of Macau, a city encompassing the World, in a encounter of West and East. The works of Chinnery will be used to recreate the memory of the city, in context, images and texts, in a very special period of the history of Southern China. Shaping the imaginary of the old Macau, with forms, buildings, people and expressions, with Chinnery. Venue: University of Saint Joseph. Rua de Londres 16, Library Room 2 (NAPE)Title: The Role of Imagination in History and Literature Presenter: Dr. Ming Yeung Cheung Abstract: The imagination doubtlessly plays an important role in fictional narratives and in art. Naturally, imagination has often been associated with the ‘unreal’. According to the French philosopher Paul Ricoeur (1913–2005), historians, working with a set of constraints different from that of novelists and poets, nevertheless rely on the imagination in their writing of history—making sense of the human experience in time. In order to convey a ‘real’ past to readers, historians invent and use instruments that are no less creative than those of the artists. The same level of imagination are required on the part the readers who want to understand the reality of the past.

• The University of Saint Joseph, in Macau, and
• World experts in gambling management.

In 4 stages, spread over two months, this intensive program will give participants a fresh and global overview of the state of the art of management science and business administration as applied to the industry that today puts Macau on the world map. The KELLOGG SCHOOL OF MANAGEMENT is one of the most celebrated North American business schools, with an exceptional track-record in its Executive Programs, and has for the last three years been the world’s number one in Executive MBAs, according to the ranking of the Financial Times. CATÓLICA-LISBON is the top business school in Portugal and ranks amongst the top 20 in Europe in executive and business training (FT 2013 ranking in Executive Education). The business and administration department of the UNIVERSITY OF SAINT JOSEPH, in Macau, set up with the help of Católica-Lisbon in the late 1990s, has closely monitored and researched the Region’s unprecedented growth, developing an extensive network of alumni and contacts in the business community and local public administration. Participants will experience the highest level of executive formation available, in the context of aca-demic excellence for which Católica is renowned. During the first two stages, they will be sharing in the fifth edition of the prestigious Kellogg|Católica Advanced Management Program, where they will encounter the latest insights in management and be provided with outstanding networking opportunities, in Lisbon and Chicago. The following stages, in Macau and Lisbon, will concentrate on issues specifically related to Entertainment and Hospitality Management. The program is designed as a coherent whole and delivers a vast array of management tips and tools, as well as practical insights and experience. Participants are expected to contribute intensely to classroom debate and should be willing to enrich the quality of the discussion by sharing their own experiences, approaches and perspectives. Those who successfully complete the program will receive not only the diploma for the Advanced Program in Casino & Hospitality Management, from Católica-Lisbon Executive Education, but also the diploma for the Kellogg | Católica Advanced Management Program.

The USJ Female Team had their second game of the GAES Basketball Competition against MUST. The team, that is participating to get experience for the next competitions, showed a good spirit during the match at Macau Sports Complex last Saturday (15th). Last Sunday (16th), USJ Male Basketball Team played the dispute for the 3rd place of the GAES Basketball Competition, that started in the end of February and became to an ending this week. All the day was filled with the ceremony and final games of the competition, including the final match where UMAC was the winner and champion against MUST. The team trained by the coach Andrew Wong played against IPM, at IPM Stadium, and won with a score of 81x66. The match was really intense, and USJ Basketball Team did their best to get the result. As an award for the 3rd place, the USJ Male Basketball Team got a cash award. And our player Vincent Wu Ka hou (LGS - Year 4) got 4 individual awards for his great performance during the competition. The awards were: •    Best Player of the Team; •    Best Rebounder; •    Best 3-points Shooter; •    Highest Score of the competition. Vincent Wu Ka Hou and Alison Pang Cheng Si were pointed as the Most Valuable Players (MVP) of the USJ teams. After the game Vincent expressed his deeply happiness with the recognition for his work as one of the best players of the competition. According to him the team developed a lot during the competition and he hopes that they go even further next year. According to the media, the semi-final game between USJ and MUST (on 9 March 2014) could be considered as a proof of the real basketball among all the GAES competitions, considering that was a really disputed match where the winner was known just in the final minutes. We would like to congratulate all the students that where part of this great winning for USJ!
