&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Abstract:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;O encontro e desencontro entre Oriente e Ocidente, configurado pelo “exotismo” da palavra, evidencia-se em algumas passagens do Diário XV de Miguel Torga e em Pequeno Caderno do Oriente de Eugénio de Andrade, onde ecoam as incursões feitas pelos autores, por Macau, respectivamente, em 1987 e 1990.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Este Seminário pretende reflectir acerca das impressões reveladas por estes escritores nas obras supramencionadas. Nelas, através de matrizes discursivas diversas, surgem referências à paisagem, ao povo, à cultura, irmanadas pela demanda, naquele território estrangeiro, das marcas da pátria, duma identidade sempre entrecruzada pela alteridade, na senda de dois poetas que os antecederam e que habitaram ou percorreram aquelas paragens: Camões e Camilo Pessanha.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;O poster do evento seguirá brevemente.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rogério Miguel Puga&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;CETAPS, CHAM&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;FCSH&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Universidade Nova de Lisboa&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12852670-6851995044235500283?l=macaulogia.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://macaulogia.blogspot.com/feeds/6851995044235500283/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=12852670&amp;postID=6851995044235500283&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12852670/posts/default/6851995044235500283'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12852670/posts/default/6851995044235500283'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://macaulogia.blogspot.com/2010/12/seminario-permanente-de-estudos-sobre.html' title='Seminário Permanente de Estudos sobre Macau: Ecos de Macau em Miguel Torga e Eugénio de Andrade: O Exotismo da Palavra (Doutora Dora Gago)'/><author><name>Rogério Miguel Puga</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02984713696911702237</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12852670.post-7060039652381315678</id><published>2010-11-12T07:13:00.001+08:00</published><updated>2010-11-12T07:17:36.340+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Macau Talk:  Institute of Commonwealth Studies (University of London)</title><content type='html'>http://commonwealth.sas.ac.uk/events/forthcoming-events.html&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Institute of Commonwealth Studies (University of London)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Maritime Trade, Merchants and Migrants&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Speakers&lt;/span&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5.30-6.00 pm "The British Cultural Presence in China before the Establishment of Hong Kong: East India Company and Private Merchants in Macao (18th-19th centuries)", Dr Rogerio Miguel Puga, CETAPS-Universidade de Nova Lisboa/FCT, Portugal&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6.00-6.30 pm "The Role of African Migration in the Development of Western Trade with China and Japan", Dr Shihan de Silva, Institute of Commonwealth Studies&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6.30-7.00 pm Discussion/Q &amp; A session&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Date: Friday 12 November&lt;br /&gt;Time: 17:30 - 19:00&lt;br /&gt;Venue: Room 274 (Stewart House)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12852670-7060039652381315678?l=macaulogia.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://commonwealth.sas.ac.uk/events/forthcoming-events.html' title='Macau Talk:  Institute of Commonwealth Studies (University of London)'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://macaulogia.blogspot.com/feeds/7060039652381315678/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=12852670&amp;postID=7060039652381315678&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12852670/posts/default/7060039652381315678'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12852670/posts/default/7060039652381315678'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://macaulogia.blogspot.com/2010/11/macau-talk-institute-of-commonwealth.html' title='Macau Talk:  Institute of Commonwealth Studies (University of London)'/><author><name>Rogério Miguel Puga</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02984713696911702237</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12852670.post-2814654264762309308</id><published>2010-11-12T07:11:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2010-11-12T07:12:40.899+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Seminário Permanente de Estudos sobre Macau.

Este Seminário pretende refletir sobre articulações estéticas híbridas em contextos de trocas culturais complexos a partir da poesia de Alberto Estima de Oliveira (1934 - 2008), escrita em Macau, e da obra da artista nipo-brasileira Tomie Ohtake (1913), realizada no Brasil. Com 7 títulos publicados em Macau, entre 1987 e 1999 e, mais recentemente, com uma primeira antologia publicada em Portugal, em 2003, Alberto Estima de Oliveira foi inventor de uma poesia densa e criativa, uma das mais expressivas em língua portuguesa, radicalmente aberta ao outro no diálogo constante com os mundos possíveis da realidade humana. Tomie Ohtake nasceu em Kioto e chegou ao Brasil em 1936, com 23 anos, sendo, hoje, uma das assinaturas mais consagradas no campo das Artes, tendo realizado mais de uma centena de exposições e recebido, pelo menos, uma dezena de prêmios. Se, como afirma Haroldo de Campos, a crítica não tem elementos para identificar claramente a maneira pessoal como a artista está ligada às raízes japonesas, poder-se-ia apontar, por outro lado, para a o lugar enigmático que Macau ocupa na constituição da poesia de Alberto Estima de Oliveira. Ao evitar a referencialização, o silêncio torna-se uma mola fundante do ser da poesia deste último. Na obra daquela, ao se transpor o figurativismo, o vazio passa a intensificar o corpo/cor que abriga as mais diversas formas. Ambos foram artistas independentes com percursos pessoais. E, sobretudo, ambos articularam o binômio Oriente/Ocidente rasurando a antiga dicotomia em sensíveis vibrações.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12852670-2814654264762309308?l=macaulogia.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://macaulogia.blogspot.com/feeds/2814654264762309308/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=12852670&amp;postID=2814654264762309308&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12852670/posts/default/2814654264762309308'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12852670/posts/default/2814654264762309308'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://macaulogia.blogspot.com/2010/11/seminario-permanente-de-estudos-sobre_12.html' title='Seminário Permanente de Estudos sobre Macau.

Muitos deles são idosos e a UM quer documentar o seu legado&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PAULO BARBOSA&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Existem casais de idosos que, no seu dia a dia, comunicam entre si em patuá. Mas não estão em Macau. Mário Pinharanda foi encontrá-los entre a vasta diáspora macaense radicada nas cidades de São Francisco e Vancouver. O investigador da Universidade de Macau (UM), que irá defender uma tese de doutoramento sobre o patuá nos próximos dias, esteve naquelas cidades do continente americano, onde recolheu dados sobre o maquista, tendo efectuado gravações com pessoas que o falam fluentemente.&lt;br /&gt;A recolha sócio-linguística faz parte da pesquisa realizada no âmbito da tese de doutoramento daquele investigador, que se intitula “Estudo da expressão morfo-sintáctica das categorias de tempo, modo e aspecto em maquista”. A tese aborda as variações nas formas de falar crioulo macaense ao longo dos tempos, incluindo uma comparação com o kristang, de Malaca.&lt;br /&gt;Os registos recolhidos deverão “funcionar como base de dados para futuras pesquisas e também para a comunidade em si”, segundo explica Pinharanda. As gravações foram captadas apenas em áudio, mas o áudio-visual deverá ser o momento seguinte da investigação. A documentação imagética torna-se mais pertinente dada a idade da população em causa: “Temos que ser rápidos, eu trabalhei com pessoas na faixa dos oitenta, noventa anos. Na véspera de eu chegar a Vancouver tinha falecido um informante com 107 anos, eu ia muito entusiasmado para o conhecer”, comenta o investigador, que está radicado em Macau desde 1997.&lt;br /&gt;Os macaenses que Mário Pinharanda foi encontrar no Canadá e nos Estados Unidos são, sobretudo, provenientes da comunidade de Hong Kong. Trata-se de pessoas que saíram de Hong Kong nos anos sessenta e que já estão na América há cerca 40 anos. Apesar disso — ou talvez por causa disso - mantêm o patuá em contexto familiar, de uma forma bastante viva. Os dados recolhidos junto das Casas de Macau indicam que a maior comunidade de macaenses residirá na baía de São Francisco.&lt;br /&gt;Com o andar do tempo, torna-se prioritário registar a herança destes macaenses, constituída por elementos como diários, livros de receitas e cartas. Mas, para isso, será necessário que os estudiosos tenham a possibilidade de passar mais tempo entra a comunidade, argumenta Pinharanda: “É preciso a pessoa ter um contacto prolongado com a comunidade, que não foi o caso, eu fui por uma semana, o projecto era assim e não permitia mais. Futuros investigadores têm que ter um projecto que lhes permita uma maior permanência. Até porque as pessoas não vão, de um dia para o outro, disponibilizar as cartas pessoais e coisas assim. Mas era fantástico que as várias comunidades começassem a pensar no sentido do legado, para quem cá fique”.&lt;br /&gt;Os falantes de patuá pertencem a uma “geração bastante mais velha”, sendo que os filhos dessa geração “já pouco falam”, caracteriza o investigador: “Nas entrevistas que lhes fiz iam sempre ‘bater’ nessa questão da perda da língua e das tradições. Por outro lado, achei, estando inserido no contexto norte-americano - onde há tantos grupos minoritários linguísticos e onde há um grande incentivo para manter associações - que há uma camada jovem de macaenses, já nascida lá, e que é muito activa nas associações.”&lt;br /&gt;BOLSAS PARA MALACA. Alan Baxter reconhece que há falantes de patuá, mas que estes não estão em Macau. “Com plenas funções linguísticas, aqui em Macau há cinco pessoas. Há depois muitas outras pessoas que sabem alguma coisa e que conseguem comunicar. Onde há falantes funcionais em maior número é em São Francisco e Vancouver”, revela o director do Departamento de Português da UM.&lt;br /&gt;Com o patuá “à beira da extinção”, Alan Baxter considera que o que lhe acontecerá “vai depender da comunidade, dado que os especialistas podem dar conselhos, mas a própria comunidade fará o que bem quiser com a sua língua”. O responsável valoriza a iniciativa de conseguir a classificação por parte da Unesco do maquista como património imaterial da humanidade: “Acho interessante e poderia fornecer os meios para dar alguma continuidade simbólica ao patuá. O patuá não será reactivado como uma língua com funções plenas, mas pode ser reactivado no sentido simbólico, com mais presença, mais participação por parte dos jovens. Se entre os jovens houvesse um interesse para falar fluentemente o patuá, a sugestão que venho propondo há quase dois anos é que poderíamos criar umas bolsas e mandar alguns jovens a Malaca por uns meses. No regresso, faríamos ajustes no sotaque e no léxico e teríamos alguns falantes do patuá”.&lt;br /&gt;A última ligação do “Ethnologe” lista 6909 línguas, mas há estimativas que apontam para que subsistam cerca de metade no início do próximo século. Baxter argumenta que a comunidade macaense continua a “gostar do teatro e de celebrar a sua cultura, sendo o patuá é parte da cultura local” e não considera, portanto, que seja inevitável a extinção do idioma. Embora seja difícil que venha a ter outro destino: “No século XXI, é cada vez mais inevitável [essa extinção], mas as minorias podem manter as suas línguas e podem utilizar outras línguas para o funcionamento sócio-económico. É uma questão de vontade, mas a língua precisa de funções e a comunidade tem que compreender como é que funcionam os factores condicionantes que vão afectar negativamente a língua, ou de maneira positiva, para aproveitar os efeitos positivos. A língua minoritária não tem de desaparecer, há muitos exemplos no mundo de línguas minoritárias bem conservadas em situações multilingues,” analisa o académico australiano.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12852670-3768633136823824429?l=macaulogia.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://www.jtm.com.mo/view.asp?dT=358503007' title='MÁRIO PINHARANDA VAI DEFENDER TESE DE DOUTORAMENTO SOBRE O PATUÁ (Tribuna de Macau, 18-10)'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://macaulogia.blogspot.com/feeds/3768633136823824429/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=12852670&amp;postID=3768633136823824429&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12852670/posts/default/3768633136823824429'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12852670/posts/default/3768633136823824429'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://macaulogia.blogspot.com/2010/10/mario-pinharanda-vai-defender-tese-de.html' title='MÁRIO PINHARANDA VAI DEFENDER TESE DE DOUTORAMENTO SOBRE O PATUÁ (Tribuna de Macau, 18-10)'/><author><name>Rogério Miguel Puga</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02984713696911702237</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12852670.post-1131893720754905250</id><published>2010-10-15T22:05:00.001+08:00</published><updated>2010-10-15T22:05:23.326+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Colóquio:  CULTURAS PARALELAS E PROCESSOS TRANSCULTURAIS: Cidades Portuárias/Cidades Interculturais.</title><content type='html'>Colóquio:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;CULTURAS PARALELAS E PROCESSOS TRANSCULTURAIS: Cidades Portuárias/Cidades Interculturais.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;OBJECTIVOS:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A história das colonizações enfrenta presentemente consideráveis desafios. Um dos aspectos que tem demorado a ser incorporado nos estudos sobre o tema são os efeitos da colonização ocidental e as reacções que se desencadearam nas sociedades locais. Sem esta vertente será impossível conhecer a profundidade essencial deste processo. É fundamental observar como os povos autóctones estão impregnados de diversos elementos europeus e vice-versa - ou seja, a formação de culturas mistas. Trata-se de um tema complexo. O fenómeno da mestiçagem manobra um número muito grande de variáveis que, muitas vezes, fogem à percepção dos investigadores. Assim, neste colóquio procuramos identificar e discutir algumas das interpretações que a área apresenta, nomeadamente reconstituir, numa perspectiva transdisciplinar, a memória dos povos de circulação e presença lusa. &lt;br /&gt;Urge repensar as mudanças espaciais, as produções culturais, as transferências e transformações de modelos histórico-políticos que marcam a complexidade cultural e a formação identitária das sociedades. Para isso é necessário desfazer as fronteiras disciplinares e assumir uma visão transdisciplinar sobre o tema. Tendo como base as relações interculturais, o seminário dará ênfase às regiões que, ao longo dos séculos, se cruzaram com Portugal. Por isso, visa-se reflectir sobre a epistemologia dos novos paradigmas culturais e visualizar diferentes expressões como processos de construção de identidades. &lt;br /&gt;Para isso, também se devem analisar os respectivos contextos geo-históricos dessas regiões e/ou cidades - de que Macau é um caso paradigmático - tendo como objectivo último a sua análise comparativa, assim como a respeito das diferentes expansões europeias.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Temas:&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;* Memórias e identidades (a visão do mesmo e do outro, as representações do passado);&lt;br /&gt;* Informação e comunicação (línguas de comunicação, relações geográficas e antropológicas);&lt;br /&gt;* Fluxos de pessoas e bens (as migrações, o comércio, as rotas…);&lt;br /&gt;* Património construído e recuperado (igrejas, fortalezas, etc.);&lt;br /&gt;* Impérios e minorias (mulheres, judeus, etc.);&lt;br /&gt;* Projectos de conquista temporal e espiritual.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Data: 22, 23 e 24 de Março de 2011.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;COMISSÃO ORGANIZADORA:&lt;br /&gt;Alan Baxter (Universidade de Macau);&lt;br /&gt;Leonor Diaz de Seabra (Universidade de Macau);&lt;br /&gt;Maria Antónia Espadinha (Universidade de Macau).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;COMISSÃO CIENTÍFICA:&lt;br /&gt;José Carlos Venâncio (Universidade da Beira Interior-Portugal); &lt;br /&gt;Leonor Diaz de Seabra (Universidade de Macau);&lt;br /&gt;Maria Antónia Espadinha (Universidade de Macau);&lt;br /&gt;Maria de Deus Manso (Universidade de Évora-Portugal);&lt;br /&gt;Rui Manuel Loureiro (Universidade Lusófona-Portugal);&lt;br /&gt;Selma Alves Pantoja (Universidade de Brasília - Brasil).&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12852670-1131893720754905250?l=macaulogia.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://macaulogia.blogspot.com/feeds/1131893720754905250/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=12852670&amp;postID=1131893720754905250&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12852670/posts/default/1131893720754905250'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12852670/posts/default/1131893720754905250'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://macaulogia.blogspot.com/2010/10/coloquio-culturas-paralelas-e-processos.html' title='Colóquio:  CULTURAS PARALELAS E PROCESSOS TRANSCULTURAIS: Cidades Portuárias/Cidades Interculturais.'/><author><name>Rogério Miguel Puga</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02984713696911702237</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12852670.post-5430515157171054883</id><published>2010-10-11T00:10:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2010-10-11T00:11:34.467+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Macao Patois (creole).

Os conceitos traçam relações de poder, ordenam e hierarquizam; e, num mundo marcado pela globalização e pela mudança, são necessariamente flutuantes, imprecisos e questionáveis.&lt;br /&gt;No caso dos países de língua portuguesa, o conceito de “lusofonia”  tem estado presente no pensamento político de Portugal desde os anos 50 do século XX  para designar uma ideia de comunidade entre os países que têm o português como língua oficial. Contudo, a substância da “lusofonia” foi e continua a ser, pela mão de poetas, escritores e académicos oriundos dos vários territórios onde os portugueses outrora lançaram amarras, objecto de aceso debate. Com esta conferência pretende-se atrair um grupo de especialistas e pessoas associadas às culturas locais dos diversos cantos do mundo onde se fala português,  com o intuito de gerar sadia e multidisciplinar discussão sobre o conceito de “lusofonia” e a necessidade de o libertar, quer das visões idílicas com raízes no passado colonial, quer dos fantasmas que ainda sobrevoam a memória histórica comum.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12852670-4007895609580471316?l=macaulogia.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://www.usj.edu.mo/?content_left&amp;col=3&amp;id=72' title='CONFERÊNCIA INTERNACIONAL: A LUSOFONIA ENTRE ENCRUZILHADAS CULTURAIS (Univ.

O funeral terá lugar em Portugal. &lt;br /&gt; A melhor homenagem a esse grande nome da literatura e cultura portuguesas será ler e apreciar a sua vasta e multifacetada obra, na qual &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Macau&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; marca  também presença, nomeadamente no Memorial do Convento (1982). Nesse romance histórico pós-moderno, o narrador fala dos sucessos das navegações portuguesas no século XVIII, afirmando: “Chegou há dias a nau de Macau que se esperava, tendo partido daqui há vinte meses, onde isso vai [...], e fez feliz jornada apesar de ser larga a vigem que fica Macau muito para lá de Goa, terra de tantas bem-aventuranças, a China, que excede a todas as outras nos regalos e riqueza, e os géneros todos quanto pode ser baratos [...]” (2009: 93). &lt;br /&gt;Requiem...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12852670-2040615190388795978?l=macaulogia.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://macaulogia.blogspot.com/feeds/2040615190388795978/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=12852670&amp;postID=2040615190388795978&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12852670/posts/default/2040615190388795978'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12852670/posts/default/2040615190388795978'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://macaulogia.blogspot.com/2010/06/memorial-de-jose-saramago-1922-2010.html' title='Memorial de José Saramago (1922-2010)'/><author><name>Rogério Miguel Puga</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02984713696911702237</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12852670.post-5383304463762249406</id><published>2010-06-17T23:22:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2010-06-17T23:23:42.010+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Wu Zhiliang substitui Victor Ng na Fundação Macau (Ponto Final, 17-06)</title><content type='html'>O historiador Wu Zhiliang, director do centro de investigação da Fundação Macau, irá passar a presidir ao Conselho de Administração da instituição da RAEM com a saída de Victor Ng, que pediu ao Chefe do Executivo a não renovação do cargo invocando razões pessoais.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Segundo nota publicada ontem pelo Gabinete de Comunicação Social, o Governo já aceitou o pedido do dirigente para a não renovação de mandato, que termina assim a 11 de Julho de 2010.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“O Chefe do Executivo, Chui Sai On, respeita a decisão do Senhor Victor Ng e manifesta o mais sincero agradecimento, dando testemunho público, pelo empenhamento, contributo e dedicação demonstrados pelo senhor Victor Ng, ao longo do seu mandato, em prol do desenvolvimento de Macau”, de acordo com o comunicado do Executivo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Este elogia também o trabalho desempenhado pelo dirigente, afirmando que, sob a sua liderança, a Fundação Macau tem “promovido e fomentado o estudo e desenvolvimento das mais diversas acções nas diferentes áreas da sociedade de Macau, nomeadamente nas cultural, económica, educativa, científica e académica”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;O Chefe do Executivo irá agora nomear Wu Zhiliang para o cargo de presidente do Conselho de Administração da Fundação Macau, instituição pública cujos fundos têm origem numa taxa de 1,6 por cento sobre os lucros brutos da indústria do jogo local e se destinam a apoiar projectos de educação, culturais e filantrópicos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wu Zhiliang, nascido em 1964, é originário de Lianping, na província de Guangdong, tendo aprendido português na Universidade de Línguas Estrangeiras de Pequim. Em 1985, mudou-se para o território para trabalhar na empresa Zhu Kuan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Acabaria por produzir algumas traduções para o Instituto Cultural, com as quais ganharia um bolsa de estudos que lhe permitiu frequentar a Universidade de Lisboa, onde esteve a estudar português durante 12 meses. O passo levou-o também a iniciar o curso de Direito na Universidade Católica Portuguesa, que acabaria por não terminar, regressando pouco depois a Macau para trabalhar no jornal Ou Mun.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Em 1988, é convidado a integrar os quadros da Fundação Macau, que tinha a seu cargo o processo de reestruturação da Universidade da Ásia Oriental. É desde 1992 membro do Conselho de Administração da instituição.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;O historiador obteve o grau de doutoramento pela Universidade de Nanjing em 1997, com uma tese sobre a história do desenvolvimento político do território. É um dos mentores da chamada Macaulogia, que um grupo de académicos locais tenta promover como disciplina desde o início da década de 1980.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12852670-5383304463762249406?l=macaulogia.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://pontofinalmacau.wordpress.com/2010/06/17/wu-zhiliang-substitui-victor-ng-na-fundacao-macau/' title='Wu Zhiliang substitui Victor Ng na Fundação Macau (Ponto Final, 17-06)'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://macaulogia.blogspot.com/feeds/5383304463762249406/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=12852670&amp;postID=5383304463762249406&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12852670/posts/default/5383304463762249406'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12852670/posts/default/5383304463762249406'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://macaulogia.blogspot.com/2010/06/wu-zhiliang-substitui-victor-ng-na.html' title='Wu Zhiliang substitui Victor Ng na Fundação Macau (Ponto Final, 17-06)'/><author><name>Rogério Miguel Puga</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02984713696911702237</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12852670.post-3506248866474279918</id><published>2010-06-17T23:12:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2010-06-17T23:13:16.105+08:00</updated><title type='text'>A Europa e o Japao: se'cs.

The discovery of a group of carvings on Coloane in Macau provided important information for that debate. Declared as monuments by the Hong Kong Government, these rock art sites are the only above-ground features left by the early population of the territory ca. 1000 B.C. Other rock art in the broader region is also described. In a presentation with 200+ slides, the dating and possible meaning of these mysterious patterns are discussed, along with the highly controversial conservation issue. Possible links with folk religious practices still surviving in Hong Kong area are examined.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;More on the Speaker&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;William Meacham is an archaeologist who has been affiliated with the University of Hong Kong since 1980. Former Chairman (1985-96) of the Hong Kong Archaeological Society, he has written widely on the prehistory of the region. He has conducted numerous excavations in Hong Kong, including the 16-month salvage project on Chek Lap Kok island, and in 1985 directed the major excavation at Hac Sa Wan on Coloane. In 1976 he published the first study of the rock carvings in Hong Kong, and has recently produced an enlarged, bilingual, full color edition. Last year he was appointed one of four advisers to the Hong Kong Government on the conservation of the rock carvings.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12852670-3050327346470435908?l=macaulogia.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://macaulogia.blogspot.com/feeds/3050327346470435908/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=12852670&amp;postID=3050327346470435908&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12852670/posts/default/3050327346470435908'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12852670/posts/default/3050327346470435908'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://macaulogia.blogspot.com/2010/06/mri-forum-june-17th-rock-carvings-in.html' title='MRI FORUM (June 17th):  Rock Carvings in Hong Kong, Macau and the Region – Description, Dating, Interpretation, Conservation, by  William Meacham'/><author><name>Rogério Miguel Puga</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02984713696911702237</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12852670.post-8379934932167111961</id><published>2010-06-11T21:17:00.002+08:00</published><updated>2010-06-11T21:18:08.044+08:00</updated><title type='text'>MACAU WEEK LIsbon (Semana de Macau, Lisboa)</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_AVet-nlUNhA/TBI3eOfgZaI/AAAAAAAAAPw/kwAWBRLJeKU/s1600/macauweeklx.gif"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 226px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_AVet-nlUNhA/TBI3eOfgZaI/AAAAAAAAAPw/kwAWBRLJeKU/s320/macauweeklx.gif" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5481504688889161122" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12852670-8379934932167111961?l=macaulogia.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://macaulogia.blogspot.com/feeds/8379934932167111961/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=12852670&amp;postID=8379934932167111961&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12852670/posts/default/8379934932167111961'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12852670/posts/default/8379934932167111961'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://macaulogia.blogspot.com/2010/06/macau-week-lisbon-semana-de-macau.html' title='MACAU WEEK LIsbon (Semana de Macau, Lisboa)'/><author><name>Rogério Miguel Puga</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02984713696911702237</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_AVet-nlUNhA/TBI3eOfgZaI/AAAAAAAAAPw/kwAWBRLJeKU/s72-c/macauweeklx.gif' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12852670.post-8790373832654394121</id><published>2010-06-08T01:36:00.001+08:00</published><updated>2010-06-08T01:38:00.998+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Arqueólogos descobrem troço da antiga muralha junto às Ruínas de São Paulo (Revista Macau, 31-05)</title><content type='html'>Uma equipa de arqueólogos da Academia Chinesa de Ciências Sociais, de Pequim, descobriu um troço da antiga muralha junta às Ruínas de São Paulo. De acordo com o Instituto Cultural (IC), que deu conta da notícia em nota enviada à imprensa, o troço da antiga muralha está localizado nas proximidades da parede norte da Fortaleza do Monte. O IC entende que se trata de “uma descoberta de grande valor para a leitura do tecido urbano e interpretação histórica da área”. &lt;br /&gt;A primeira fase dos trabalhos de prospecção teve lugar após a demolição de dois edifícios que existiam no local e foi feita com exames de sondagem electromagnética, tendo ainda sido feitas escavações. Esta fase, diz o IC, permitiu “uma interpretação consistente sobre a distribuição subterrânea dos vestígios arqueológicos e informação mais completa sobre as antigas paredes do Colégio de S. Paulo, sobre a Fortaleza do Monte e sobre os vestígios encontrados na Travessa do Amparo”. Nesta escavação, encontrou-se uma parte do pavimento original, com cerca de 1,5m por 2,5m, composto de solo compactado, que apresenta indícios de ter seguimento na mesma direcção, tendo-se ainda feito outras descobertas: algumas relíquias que datam do período da Dinastia Qing, incluindo elementos de cerâmica, ladrilhos, telhas e beirados, bem como conchas e balas de canhão em pedra.&lt;br /&gt;Noutro local onde se efectuaram também trabalhos de prospecção arqueológica, na zona correspondente ao Pátio do Espinho, descobriu-se um troço da antiga muralha de defesa, do lado norte da parede da Fortaleza do Monte, com cerca de 15,5m de comprimento, por 2,45m de altura e uma espessura de 1,27m. O Instituto Cultural explica que se está perante uma estrutura que fez uso de um sistema construtivo antigo que conta com um alinhamento de pelo menos cinco blocos de pedra como base e diversas camadas de uma mistura de solo de cor clara compactada em 5-10 cm, formando um emparelhamento sucessivo, que foi depois finalizado com tijolos cinzentos chineses na face exterior.&lt;br /&gt;Um estudo comparativo com mapas antigos de 1760, 1886 e 1912 permitiu perceber que esses documentos gráficos ilustram precisamente esta antiga muralha da cidade, confirmando-se que se trata de um segmento de muralha de que há referências históricas importantes, procurando-se agora interpretar se se trata de um segmento que pertencia ao antigo Colégio de S. Paulo, se era parte do sistema defensivo, ou mesmo se serviria as duas vertentes de uso. O IC entende que se justifica continuar os trabalhos de prospecção arqueológica também na área onde se encontram ainda dois edifícios, que deverão então ser demolidos.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12852670-8790373832654394121?l=macaulogia.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://www.revistamacau.com/news.asp?id=653' title='Arqueólogos descobrem troço da antiga muralha junto às Ruínas de São Paulo (Revista Macau, 31-05)'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://macaulogia.blogspot.com/feeds/8790373832654394121/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=12852670&amp;postID=8790373832654394121&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12852670/posts/default/8790373832654394121'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12852670/posts/default/8790373832654394121'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://macaulogia.blogspot.com/2010/06/arqueologos-descobrem-troco-da-antiga.html' title='Arqueólogos descobrem troço da antiga muralha junto às Ruínas de São Paulo (Revista Macau, 31-05)'/><author><name>Rogério Miguel Puga</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02984713696911702237</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12852670.post-3583626416547175668</id><published>2010-06-08T01:34:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2010-06-08T01:35:35.737+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Projectos culturais de Macau candidatos a Património Cultural Intangível da China (Revista macau, 24-05)</title><content type='html'>O Ministério de Cultura publicou este mês a lista recomendada dos itens a serem inscritos no terceiro lote da Lista do Património Cultural Intangível da China.

type='text'>Criminalidade diminuiu 14% no primeiro trimestre (Dia'rio Digital, 14-05)</title><content type='html'>A criminalidade em Macau caiu 14 por cento no primeiro trimestre do corrente ano, com o registo de 2839 delitos, anunciou hoje o Secretário para a Segurança, ao salientar que a situação do território mantém-se estável.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Em declarações aos jornalistas, Cheong Kuoc Vá salientou que a criminalidade violenta registou uma redução de 16 por cento, tendo-se registado apenas um caso de homicídio entre janeiro e março.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A maioria dos crimes praticados em Macau estão incluídos na rubrica dos delitos contra o património e contra a pessoa, que traduzem, respetivamente, 1595 casos e 535 casos, disse o governante, sublinhando que estes números representam decréscimos de 12 por cento, respetivamente face aos três primeiros meses de 2009.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Apenas os crimes de extorsão e de usura registaram aumentos de um e dois casos designadamente, enquanto os delitos de ameaça caíram 45 por cento.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Entre janeiro e março, as autoridades de Macau registaram um decréscimo de 18 por cento dos crimes de aliciamento, auxílio, acolhimento e emprego de imigrante ilegal, uma quebra de 31 por cento dos casos de consumo de droga e um aumento de 18,5 por cento nos casos de tráfico e venda de estupefacientes. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Foram também detetadas pelas autoridades 8490 pessoas em situação de clandestinidade, das quais mais de sete mil cidadãos da China excederam o tempo de permanência, bem como 968 estrangeiros e 250 entraram ilegalmente na região com origem da China, números que representam decréscimos face a igual período de 2009.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No primeiro trimestre, as autoridades de Macau registaram ainda um total de 21 casos de delinquência juvenil, menos 30 por cento do que no período homólogo de 2009, que envolveram 41 menores.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nos três primeiros meses do ano foram detidos e enviados ao Ministério Público 963 suspeitos por infracções criminais.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cheong Kuoc Vá salientou que «apesar da situação de segurança de Macau ser estável, as forças policiais vão prosseguir as suas ações preventivas e repressivas, especialmente no combate ao tráfico de droga e condução em estado de embriaguez, que registaram aumentos».&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;«Vamos também seguir com atenção a evolução das novas tendências delituosas adoptando medidas eficazes para garantir a tranquilidade social»,

type='text'>Carlos Marreiros é figura de "notoriedade impar" na comunidade - Associação dos Macaenses (Lusa, 15-04)</title><content type='html'>O arquiteto Carlos Marreiros “é uma figura que tem uma notoriedade impar” na comunidade macaense, afirmou hoje Miguel Senna Fernandes, presidente da Associação dos Macaenses que distinguiu o autor do pavilhão de Macau na Expo de Xangai.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Carlos Marreiros é uma pessoa, uma figura que tem uma notoriedade impar, é uma pessoa única na comunidade e é uma figura que prestigiado Macau e a comunidade macaense”, afirmou Miguel Senna Fernandes na cerimónia de homenagem.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;O mesmo responsável disse que além da comunidade, Carlos Marreiros, que é o autor do desenho do pavilhão de Macau na Exposição Mundial de Xangai ou da nova ala da Escola Portuguesa de Macau, “tem também engrandecido o nome de Macau”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Miguel Senna Fernandes explica também que Carlos Marreiros é ainda uma “pessoa iminentemente da cultura, homem multidimensional cuja personalidade se expande na área da cultura, nas artes para já não falar também na própria arquitetura em que ele brilha na sua própria profissão”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Há razões mais que suficientes para que a associação faça esta homenagem a ele”, afirmou ao recordar que se a associação já o fez a outros, como Pereira Coutinho, Leonel Alves ou Henrique de Senna Fernandes, “não podia deixar de fazer ao Carlos Marreiros”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Se se gosta ou não de Carlos Marreiros, este é um nome que não se pode esquecer, que não se pode de ânimo leve pôr de parte justamente pelo peso da sua obra e a sua própria pessoa”, concluiu.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Já Carlos Marreiros disse, por sua vez, e numa associação à gastronomia macaense, portuguesa e chinesa, que a homenagem que sabia a “minchi (carne picada com arroz e batata frita aos quadrados com ovo estrelado por cima), bacalhau à brás, (e) também a chao-min (massa) com bifinhos”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Mas no fundo é uma reunião entre amigos, dar-me a oportunidade de reciprocar a amizade que ao longo destes anos todos estes amigos que estão aqui me dão”, disse.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Salientando que o convívio com os amigos era o aspeto mais importante, Carlos Marreiros não deixou de mostrar “gratidão” pelo gesto da Associação dos Macaenses, da qual nem é membro, mas defendeu que não devem ser apenas os macaenses (de asced6encia chinesa e portuguesa) a ser alvo de homenagens.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“A Associação dos Macaenses não deve só homenagear os macaenses. Não posso falar com legitimidade até porque nem sou membro da associação, mas julgo que terão na sua lista homenagear quer portugueses que estão radicados, quer também chineses porque este conceito de macaense é mais um registo de valências afetivas, é muito mais da alma do que de registo de geografia ou de topografia’, concluiu.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;JCS.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12852670-4435780051556694409?l=macaulogia.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://www.lusa.pt/lusaweb/user/showitem?service=310&amp;listid=NewsList310&amp;listpage=1&amp;docid=10924157' title='Carlos Marreiros é figura de &quot;notoriedade impar&quot; na comunidade - Associação dos Macaenses (Lusa, 15-04)'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://macaulogia.blogspot.com/feeds/4435780051556694409/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=12852670&amp;postID=4435780051556694409&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12852670/posts/default/4435780051556694409'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12852670/posts/default/4435780051556694409'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://macaulogia.blogspot.com/2010/04/carlos-marreiros-e-figura-de.html' title='Carlos Marreiros é figura de &quot;notoriedade impar&quot; na comunidade - Associação dos Macaenses (Lusa, 15-04)'/><author><name>Rogério Miguel Puga</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02984713696911702237</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12852670.post-8451832058955411808</id><published>2010-02-18T21:29:00.001+08:00</published><updated>2010-02-18T21:30:37.883+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Call for Applications (history, anthropology, law, sociology, political science, and area studies) - Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Berlin</title><content type='html'>http://www.academics.de/action/av/show?adId=45034&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The International Research Center for "Work and Human Life Cycle in&lt;br /&gt;Global History" at the Humboldt University Berlin and funded by the&lt;br /&gt;Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) invites scholars to&lt;br /&gt;apply for 10 International Research Fellowships (5 stipends for senior&lt;br /&gt;scholars and 5 stipends for postdoctoral candidates) for the 2010-2011&lt;br /&gt;academic year as well as for future academic years.

também os laços com a China”, disse um responsável italiano&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;O responsável, que falava em Itália, na terra natal de Ricci, referia-se aparentemente às relações China-Santa Sé, cortadas desde a tomada do poder pelo Partido Comunista Chinês, há 60 anos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A exposição estará patente no novo Museu da Capital, em Pequim, até dia 20 de março, seguindo depois para Xangai e Nanjing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ricci viveu quase metade da sua vida na China e foi sepultado num cemitério de Pequim com as honras devidas a um mandarim.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;O missionário chegou a Macau em 1582, vindo de Portugal, e no ano seguinte radicou-se em Zhaoqing, no sul da China.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nos séculos XVI e XVII, “o caminho para a China passava por Portugal”, afirma a historiadora francesa Catherine Jami. “O transporte e o dinheiro, tudo isso era assegurado pela Coroa portuguesa”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Matteo Ricci (“Li Madou”, em chinês) é visto hoje na China como “um ocidental confuciano”, mas nem sempre foi assim.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Tirando partido dos seus contactos com funcionários chineses e os cidadãos em geral, os missionários conseguiram obter informações acerca da China e ajudar os colonialistas na sua agressão contra a China”, afirma o “Panorama da História da China”, publicado em 1982 e reeditado em 2008.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Na última década, porém, a religião voltou a ganhar influencia na China, acompanhando o pluralismo social e ideológico suscitado pelo acelerado desenvolvimento económico do país e a melhoria do nível de vida da sua população.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A China ainda defende o ateísmo, mas, ao contrário da antiga União Soviética, já não encara a religião como “ópio do povo”, indicou no inicio do ano o novo diretor da Administração Estatal para os Assuntos Religiosos, Wang Zuoan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“A antiga União Soviética e as nações do (extinto) Pacto de Varsóvia não conseguiram lidar bem com as questões religiosas. Isso foi uma profunda lição para a China”, afirmou.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wang Zuoan considerou “normal” o desenvolvimento da religião na China, garantindo que “o governo chinês encoraja a religião a adaptar-se à sociedade socialista e atribui um papel mais positivo à religião”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;O número oficial de cristãos rondará os vinte milhões, dois terços dos quais protestantes, mas segundo estimativas ocidentais, serão cerca de 50 milhões – 3,7 por cento da população do país.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

com que estreou os passos de dança "moonwalk".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Trata-se de uma espécie de museu em tributo ao "Rei da Pop", falecido a 25 de Junho aos 50 anos, onde se encontra um cenário do videoclip "Billie Jean", um "Túnel do Tempo", que conduz os visitantes numa viagem pelos principais momentos da carreira do cantor, e uma loja, onde se poderão adquirir, por exemplo, réplicas da luva branca e dos carismáticos chapéus do cantor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Na área principal de exposição encontra-se a luva branca cravada de cristais, um dos objetos pessoais mais icónicos de Michael Jackson, adquirido num leilão, em Nova Iorque, pela joint-venture entre a Sociedade de Jogos de Macau, de Stanley Ho, e o grupo Success Universe, sediado em Hong Kong, que detém o Ponte 16, por 350

type='text'>Casa do Mandarim reabre após oito anos de trabalhos de restauro (Lusa, 05-02)</title><content type='html'>A Casa do Mandarim, em Macau, classificada como Património Mundial pela UNESCO, reabriu hoje as portas após oito anos de restauro, mas só a médio prazo será transformada numa casa-museu do filósofo Zheng Guanying.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Depois da administração portuguesa ter tentado adquirir o imóvel, na década de 1990, o Executivo da Região Administrativa Especial da China conseguiu o feito, em 2001, e investiu mais de quatro milhões de euros (43 milhões de patacas) no seu restauro, em que participaram vários peritos internacionais.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Com 4 000 metros quadrados e mais de 60 quartos, a Casa do Mandarim, construída em 1869 junto ao Largo do Lilau, esteve para ser transformada num hotel de charme, mas os peritos aconselharam antes a sua transformação num museu, que não é ainda uma realidade.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A partir de hoje aquela que foi a residência de Zheng Guanying (1842-1921) pode ser visitada, mas no interior é encontrada pouca mobília e praticamente nenhuma informação sobre o filósofo, podendo antes ser apreciada a arquitectura de estilo chinês, com alguma influência ocidental patente nos terraços, arcos e pilares, e uma exposição sobre os trabalhos de restauração.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“A médio prazo vamos transformá-la numa casa museu para dar a conhecer ao público tudo sobre o filósofo”, garantiu hoje o Secretário para os Assuntos Sociais e Cultura, Cheong U, ao salientar que o Instituto Cultural está já, em parceria com a Biblioteca de Xangai, a recolher objectos e materiais históricos de Zheng Guanying.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Entretanto, o Executivo planeia abrir “nos próximos dois ou três anos um centro museológico dedicado ao pensador” na actual cantina do Instituto de Acção Social para que a "população e visitantes conheçam melhor sobre o sentido de +amor à pátria+”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cheong U disse ainda que a reabertura da casa será aproveitada para lançar, pelos Serviços de Turismo, um novo circuito para os visitantes que ligará as diferentes atracções daquela área da cidade, como o Largo do Lilau, Ermida da Penha, Igreja de S. Lourenço, entre outras.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Arrendada por diferentes inquilinos até à década de 1950, entre os quais alguns portugueses, a Casa do Mandarim encontrava-se até 2001 em avançado estado de degradação, que contribuiu para a perda de mobiliário e vários pertences da família de Zheng Guanying.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Zheng, natural de Guangdong, mudou-se para Macau em 1886, quando imperava a dinastia Qing, depois de ter prosperado como mercador e de ter regressado do Vietname, para onde foi enviado como informador durante a guerra sino-francesa, e foi precisamente na Casa do Mandarim que escreveu a obra “Advertências em Tempo de Prosperidade” (1893).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ao sugerir que “um país deve desenvolver a sua riqueza de modo a assumir-se como uma nação forte, notando que a riqueza em si motiva o desenvolvimento da economia e da indústria”, Zheng Guanying influenciou líderes históricos da China, como Sun Yat-Sen e Mao Zedong, que mais tarde evocaram a sua obra como base para a promoção de grandes mudanças no país.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PNE.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12852670-8577970291060423750?l=macaulogia.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://www.lusa.pt/lusaweb/user/showitem?service=310&amp;listid=NewsList310&amp;listpage=1&amp;docid=10636199' title='Casa do Mandarim reabre após oito anos de trabalhos de restauro (Lusa, 05-02)'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://macaulogia.blogspot.com/feeds/8577970291060423750/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=12852670&amp;postID=8577970291060423750&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12852670/posts/default/8577970291060423750'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12852670/posts/default/8577970291060423750'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://macaulogia.blogspot.com/2010/02/casa-do-mandarim-reabre-apos-oito-anos.html' title='Casa do Mandarim reabre após oito anos de trabalhos de restauro (Lusa, 05-02)'/><author><name>Rogério Miguel Puga</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02984713696911702237</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12852670.post-8143922897410059287</id><published>2010-02-06T21:24:00.001+08:00</published><updated>2010-02-06T21:24:39.226+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Autoridades esperaram maior papel de Macau nos intercâmbios entre China e Paises de língua portuguesa (Radio Internacional da China, 01-02-2010)</title><content type='html'>Macau deve oferecer mais oportunidades para os intercâmbios entre a China e os países lusófonos, especialmente nas áreas de finanças, serviços, exposições e turismo.

Na ocasião, ele afirmou que a cooperação comercial entre a China e os países lusófonos enfrenta grandes desafios nos últimos anos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Em 2009, o valor do comércio entre a China e os países de língua portuguesa caiu 19% em comparação com o ano anterior, prejudicado pela crise financeira internacional.

provenientes do continente chinês, o que representa uma queda de 5,1 por cento face a 2008, indicam dados oficiais agora divulgados.&lt;br /&gt;De acordo com os Serviços de Estatística e Censos, entraram em Macau 11,3 milhões de excursionistas nos doze meses de 2009, o que perfaz 52,2 por cento do total de visitantes do território, que perdeu 5,4 por cento dos turistas provenientes do

total de 332.529, enquanto o Japão foi o único a registar um acréscimo, de 3,4 por cento, para 379.241 turistas.&lt;br /&gt;A maioria dos turistas de Macau, mais de 11 milhões, entrou em 2009 no território pela via terrestre, o que traduz uma queda de 5,3 por cento face a 2008, dos quais mais de 70 por cento era originária do continente chinês e 14 por cento de Hong Kong.&lt;br /&gt;Pela via

type='text'>Expo 2010: Portugal vai gastar 10 ME para potenciar imagem e actividade económica em Xangai (Lusa, 26-01)</title><content type='html'>A participação de Portugal na Expo 2010, em Xangai, conta com um orçamento global de 10 milhões de euros para potenciar a imagem e actividade económica do país na China, um mercado estratégico para diversificar as exportações.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Portugal participa na Expo 2010 com o objectivo de potenciar o posicionamento do país, a actividade económica e os contactos entre empresas", salientou o comissário-geral e também presidente da Parque Expo, Rolando Borges Martins, em declarações à Agência Lusa a partir de Xangai, onde se encontra a acompanhar os trabalhos de construção do pavilhão nacional.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Para o responsável, "há ainda muito a fazer pelo posicionamento de Portugal, um país integrado na Europa e contemporâneo, mas cuja localização é ainda desconhecida por muita gente".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Portugal vai investir 10 milhões de euros -- dos quais três milhões são aplicados nas obras do interior do pavilhão - para se promover na principal montra do mundo, que a China pretende transformar na "maior e melhor" de toda a História, e "potenciar a actividade económica" com o gigante asiático, considerado pela AICEP um "mercado estratégico e prioritário" para diversificar as exportações.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"A opção de revestir o pavilhão com cortiça prende-se com a intenção de promover produtos nacionais com potencial para serem aproveitados por mercados à escala da China", justificou o comissário ao salientar que a AICEP está a organizar um programa de semanas temáticas para o centro de negócios do pavilhão dedicadas a sectores como as energias, os vinhos e a moda.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Com base no lema da Expo 2010 'Melhor Cidade, Melhor Qualidade de Vida', Portugal vai apresentar-se como "uma praça para o mundo" e "um mundo de energias", e irá, por isso, dispor de uma recriação da Praça do Comércio no interior do pavilhão como "lugar central da vida e actividades urbanas, de memórias e mudanças", salientou Rolando Martins.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;O responsável diz-se "surpreendido" pela rapidez como evoluem os trabalhos nos 528 hectares da Expo 2010 (dez vezes a Expo 98, em Lisboa) e salienta que as obras do Pavilhão de Portugal (com 2.000 metros quadrados) - adjudicadas a um consórcio liderado pela Pal Asiaconsult, de Macau - "estão dentro do previsto, devendo estar concluídas em meados de Abril".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Portugal tem já uma equipa de dez pessoas a tempo inteiro em Xangai quando faltam 195 dias para abertura da Expo 2010, disse Rolando Martins, que se reuniu esta semana com os organizadores para discutir pormenores da participação nacional, como a programação cultural a oferecer nos seis meses do evento.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Os convites de representantes oficiais de cada país para a abertura do evento estão a cargo da China, mas para o Dia de Portugal é já certa a presença de membros do Governo, estando ainda por confirmar a participação do Presidente da República, Cavaco Silva, explicou o comissário.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mais de 240 países e organizações internacionais vão participar na Expo 2010, em Xangai, que será o maior acontecimento internacional organizado pela China depois dos Jogos Olímpicos de Pequim, no Verão de 2008.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PNE.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

"Mas pode-se sempre fazer melhor", considera.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Por isso, os Serviços de Educação encomendaram um estudo à Universidade de Macau, com o propósito de avaliar o ensino do português nas escolas luso-chinesas e de se definirem medidas concretas que permitam aumentar a qualidade do ensino da língua de Camões, a partir dos resultados alcançados e com base no papel de Macau como plataforma entre a China e a lusofonia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"A primeira fase do estudo, que incidiu sobre o ensino primário, está concluída e agora será o ensino secundário alvo da pesquisa", explicou o director ao salientar que apenas no final do ano haverá resultados.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Macau dispõe de 13 escolas públicas, designadas como luso-chinesas, e de um total de 54 escolas particulares, todas integradas no sistema de educação gratuita -- para todo o ensino não-superior -, além de outras 15 escolas privadas não integradas naquele sistema.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A educação gratuita foi um programa lançado ainda durante a administração portuguesa de Macau que previa a gratuitidade do ensino obrigatório através de subsídios de propinas às escolas particulares.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PNE/JCS.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

type='text'>Taxa de insucesso escolar atinge os 11 por cento no ensino secundário (Lusa, 22-01)</title><content type='html'>Os Serviços de Educação e Juventude de Macau dizem-se “preocupados” com a taxa de insucesso escolar no ensino secundário, que atinge 11 por cento e que leva cerca de 200 estudantes a abandonar a escola todos os anos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“O abandono escolar diminuiu nos últimos dez anos, de cerca de 500 alunos por cada ano lectivo para 200 actualmente, mas o que mais nos preocupa é o insucesso escolar, que atinge cerca de 11 por cento dos alunos do ensino secundário, porque a maioria que abandona a escola tem um historial de repetições de ano”, explicou o director dos Serviços de Educação em entrevista à Agência Lusa.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cerca de 80 por cento dos 6.000 alunos que frequentam o ensino secundário em Macau ingressa no ensino superior, a grande maioria optando por universidades no estrangeiro, um factor que, para Sou Chio Fai, é indirectamente representativo da qualidade do ensino do território.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;De acordo com a Organização para a Cooperação e Desenvolvimento Económico (OCDE), Macau está no “top 10” dos territórios com as melhores notas em matemática e ciências obtidas pelos alunos de 15 anos e “dentro da média” no que se refere à leitura, mas mesmo assim "há alunos desmotivados" e são necessárias medidas para garantir e elevar a qualidade do ensino da Região, defende o responsável.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Prolongar o calendário escolar dos actuais 180 dias para 195 dias, de modo a reduzir a carga horária dos alunos, eliminando-se os cursos de Verão das escolas luso-chinesas, e a redução do número de alunos por turma até ao terceiro ano do ensino básico para um máximo de 35 crianças já no próximo ano lectivo são algumas das medidas que o Governo planeia lançar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Por outro lado, aumentar os vencimentos dos professores do território, dos actuais 70 por cento do PIB per capita para 90 a 95 por cento, é outro passo “necessário para atrair docentes de alta qualidade e para o qual há capacidade financeira nos próximos cinco anos”, defendeu Sou Chio Fai.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Nos países e regiões com melhor aproveitamento escolar, o salário anual dos professores é relativamente alto, chegando a atingir na Coreia do Sul 141 por cento do PIB per capita e em Hong Kong e Finlândia 90 a 95 por cento, enquanto que em Macau um professor ganha, em média por ano, 300 mil patacas (28 mil euros)”, disse.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;O primeiro passo, acrescentou, passa pela apresentação em breve ao hemiciclo de uma proposta que defende uma diferença mínima de 1,3 vezes entre salários de professores recém-licenciados e os que estão no topo da carreira.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Melhorar o sistema de avaliação de professores, aumentar o subsídio de propinas para as escolas privadas acima de dois por cento e incrementar o uso de computadores pelos estudantes são outros planos em carteira para o próximo ano lectivo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Um total de 11.000 computadores já foram distribuídos pelas escolas do território, todos os professores receberam um portátil e há disponibilidade para o Executivo estabelecer programas de apoio com recurso às novas tecnologias em substituição dos manuais de papel, referiu Sou Chio Fai.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;O orçamento dos Serviços de Educação mais do que triplicou nos últimos 10 anos e actualmente atinge os 3.000 milhões de patacas (265 milhões de euros) anuais. “Temos o que precisamos”, considera o director.&lt;br

primeira vez subsídios para aquisição de manuais escolares equivalentes a 130 euros por aluno, num total de 10 milhões de euros.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;De acordo com as informações facultadas por e-mail à Agência Lusa pelos Serviços de Educação, o “orçamento do subsídio para a aquisição de manuais escolares no ano lectivo 2009/2010 é de 112 milhões de patacas, dos quais já foram concedidos cerca de 110 milhões”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Há, actualmente, cerca de 70 mil alunos que já receberam este subsídio, o que representa mais de 95 por cento do número total dos beneficiados”, acrescenta o organismo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;O subsídio de 1.500 patacas (cerca de 130 euros) por aluno será “concedido anualmente” a todos os alunos residentes em Macau que frequentem os diferentes níveis de ensino de educação regular nas escolas do território.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Segundo os Serviços de Educação de Macau, os alunos das escolas oficiais recebem o subsídio directamente por transferência bancária e os das escolas particulares recebem-no através destas 30 dias após a distribuição do montante pelo Governo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;O subsídio para aquisição de manuais escolares foi este ano introduzido nos apoios governamentais ao sector da educação, mas a administração financia ainda o ensino com outros apoios como a escolaridade gratuita até aos 15 anos e subsídios parciais de propinas aos estudantes residentes permanentes - há mais de sete anos no território -, como acontece na Escola Portuguesa de Macau.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PNE.&lt;div

liderado por uma empresa lusa de Macau, deverá arrancar ainda durante o início deste mês. O evento decorre entre 1 de Maio e 31 de Outubro. "É um prazo um pouco apertado, mas exequível", disse fonte ligada à participação portuguesa no certame, o maior organizado pela China depois dos Jogos Olímpicos de Pequim, em 2008.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A área da exposição vai ocupar 528 hectares, dez vezes mais do que a Expo’98, em Lisboa, sendo esperados 70 milhões de visitantes, cinco por cento dos quais estrangeiros. O Pavilhão de Portugal, orçado em três milhões de euros, terá 2000 metros quadrados e foi desenhado por Carlos Macedo e Couto, de 58 anos, arquitecto português radicado em Macau.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;O edifício beneficiará da proximidade à Praça Europa, espaço para espectáculos com capacidade para 1200 pessoas. Ficará também perto de uma entrada para o recinto e de uma estação de metro. Mais de 200 países e organizações internacionais confirmaram já a participação no evento.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12852670-2228605527717297754?l=macaulogia.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://www.correiomanha.pt/noticia.aspx?contentid=D2007E8E-2F17-4C3E-988F-4ED3E56349DA&amp;channelid=00000010-0000-0000-0000-000000000010' title='Pavilhão luso [em Xangai] vai arrancar (Correio da Manha, 02-01)'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://macaulogia.blogspot.com/feeds/2228605527717297754/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=12852670&amp;postID=2228605527717297754&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12852670/posts/default/2228605527717297754'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12852670/posts/default/2228605527717297754'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://macaulogia.blogspot.com/2010/01/pavilhao-luso-em-xangai-vai-arrancar.html' title='Pavilhão luso [em Xangai] vai arrancar (Correio da Manha, 02-01)'/><author><name>Rogério Miguel Puga</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02984713696911702237</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12852670.post-5125215557464465512</id><published>2010-01-19T20:40:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2010-01-19T20:45:29.293+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Macau to host China/Portuguese-Speaking Countries ministerial meeting in May   [macauhub, 2010-01-06]</title><content type='html'>The ministerial meeting of the Forum for Economic and Trade Cooperation between China and the Portuguese-Speaking Countries should be held in May, Macau Chief Executive Fernando Chui Sai On has stated.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Forum's ministerial meeting is held every three years but had been postponed due to celebrations of Macau's tenth anniversary as a special administrative region of China.

Entrance is free.&lt;br /&gt;Professor Kara Chan’s research areas include cross cultural advertising and mass media in Hong Kong and China.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12852670-2765423283925940390?l=macaulogia.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://www.macaudailytimes.com.mo/macau/8063-Lecture-Macau-youth-and-materialism.html' title='Lecture on Macau youth and materialism (Macau Daily Times, 19-01)'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://macaulogia.blogspot.com/feeds/2765423283925940390/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=12852670&amp;postID=2765423283925940390&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12852670/posts/default/2765423283925940390'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12852670/posts/default/2765423283925940390'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://macaulogia.blogspot.com/2010/01/lecture-on-macau-youth-and-materialism.html' title='Lecture on Macau youth and materialism (Macau Daily Times, 19-01)'/><author><name>Rogério Miguel Puga</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02984713696911702237</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12852670.post-5603061723837279061</id><published>2010-01-19T20:37:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2010-01-19T20:38:42.054+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Gamblers return; Macau back in the billions (Casino City Times, 18-01)</title><content type='html'>Macau has returned to double-digit growth, according to a report in the Sydney Morning Herald.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The growth in the past six months to December surpassed previous highs back in March 2008, the Sydney Morning Herald said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This has companies like James Packer's joint venture under pressure to sustain its position in Macau's gambling market, the Sydney Morning Herald noted.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12852670-5603061723837279061?l=macaulogia.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://www.casinocitytimes.com/news/article/gamblers-return;-macau-back-in-the-billions-192225' title='Gamblers return; Macau back in the billions (Casino City Times, 18-01)'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://macaulogia.blogspot.com/feeds/5603061723837279061/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=12852670&amp;postID=5603061723837279061&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12852670/posts/default/5603061723837279061'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12852670/posts/default/5603061723837279061'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://macaulogia.blogspot.com/2010/01/gamblers-return-macau-back-in-billions.html' title='Gamblers return; Macau back in the billions (Casino City Times, 18-01)'/><author><name>Rogério Miguel Puga</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02984713696911702237</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12852670.post-9034408591468237155</id><published>2010-01-19T09:12:00.002+08:00</published><updated>2010-01-19T09:21:07.485+08:00</updated><title type='text'>University of Macau Vacancy: Translation and Interpreting (Portuguese-Chinese), Full/Associate Professor</title><content type='html'>website:&lt;br /&gt;https://isw.umac.mo/recruitment/showJobDetails.do?jobRefNo=FSH/DPORT/TRIN/09/2010&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Full Professor / Associate Professor&lt;br /&gt;Translation and Interpreting (Chinese-Portuguese)&lt;br /&gt;(Reference No.:FSH/DPORT/TRIN/09/2010)&lt;br /&gt;Academic Position&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Department of Portuguese of the Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities (FSH) has a teaching staff of 30 members, including speakers of both European Portuguese and Brazilian Portuguese.

Macau— sometimes called Macao — has not only overtaken Las Vegas as the world's top gambling market, but its casinos are rebounding smartly even as gambling "remains stuck in America's recessionary mud," as Moody's Senior Vice President Keith Foley puts it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;MORE ON WYNN: Stock quote and Wikinvest commentary&lt;br /&gt;MORE ON SANDS: Stock quote and Wikinvest commentary&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In October, Macau gambling revenue hit an all-time high of $1.59 billion after setting a record just two months earlier. The Chinese New Year's holiday, which lasts for about two weeks starting on Feb. 14, is one of the busiest gambling periods of the year and should provide another boost to business as Asian workers take vacation and head for the casinos en masse.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"People want to try their luck," says Manuel Joaquim das Neves, director of Macau's Gaming Inspection and Coordination Bureau. The Chinese believe that on New Year's, "If you have luck, then you'll have luck all year."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The emergence of Macau — about 40 miles west of Hong Kong— as a gambling powerhouse is a sign of China's economic might and the spending potential of the country's 1.3 billion occupants. In just a few years, American gambling companies have seen their Macau properties become as vital, if not more so, to their bottom line as their more established Las Vegas properties. The global economic downturn has also highlighted the need for U.S. companies to diversify their gambling operations. At the moment, Asia is as promising a market as any for gambling.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"This is a market you have to be in if you want to be a world-class operator," says Mark Dvorchak, a managing partner at Pro Forma Advisors, which provides economic analysis for gambling- and entertainment-related development projects. "You have to be here, given the population, given the economic power."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But with the promise of this region comes the pitfalls of a still-nascent casino industry struggling to gain its footing. Because Macau relies heavily on visitors from the mainland, the Chinese government's sporadic travel restrictions to the region threaten to severely crimp profits.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;More gambling venues and hotels are also planned for the Cotai Strip — a patch of reclaimed land between the Taipei and Coloane Islands that forms part of Macau — which, when completed, will increase competition for existing casinos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And U.S. companies here are still struggling to fulfill their vision of turning Macau into a full-throttle shopping, gambling and dining venue, like Las Vegas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Problem is, "It's mostly guys who go to Macau," says Sebastian Lee, 25, who travels here from Taichung, Taiwan, twice a year with his friends. "Guys don't really see shows. They don't really want to shop."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Macau's gambling revenue fell sharply in early 2009. But it's since recovered, along with the Chinese economy, unlike Las Vegas, where casinos are still struggling amid flagging consumer spending and airlines' reduced flights to the city.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For the first nine months of 2009, Wynn Resorts collected nearly 60% of its net revenue from Macau, with the rest coming from U.S. properties, including Las Vegas. Meanwhile, Las Vegas Sands posted $2.35 billion net revenue in Macau during this time, more than double that of its U.S. casinos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Clearly, you might say that we are more of an Asian company with properties in the U.S." than a U.S. company with properties in Asia, says Sheldon Adelson, chief executive of Las Vegas Sands, which owns three casino properties in Macau through a publicly traded Hong Kong company and is opening a $5.5 billion casino development in Singapore this year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Reliance on luck&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At Adelson's 10.5 million-square-foot Venetian Macao on the Cotai strip one recent rainy day, gamblers staked their spots at baccarat, blackjack and poker tables. The gamblers were mostly Asian males, with a disproportionate number playing in the Red Dragon gaming area.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"There are always more people in the red area," says Mabel Wu, a Venetian Macao spokeswoman as she walked through the casino floor, which also had blue, gold and green gaming areas. "They believe it's lucky."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But the red zone could also be perpetually busy because it's close to a noodle restaurant and bathrooms, Wu notes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While gamblers across the world rely to some extent on luck to guide their bets, perhaps none do so more than Asians. Many Asian gamblers believe in superstitions such as changing their clothes — preferably to a red color — if they're on a losing streak or not allowing someone to touch their back while they're playing, because it could rub their luck off, says Lee, the Taiwanese gambler.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In Asia, "There's a reliance on luck that probably drives more acceptance of gambling," Dvorchak says.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Such beliefs help explain why gambling is so entrenched in Chinese culture, why some people flock to the casinos during the New Year's holiday, and why standard baccarat — a game of pure chance rather than skill — is such big business for casino operators in Macau, says Ricardo Siu, an associate professor at the University of Macau. It also points to the challenge that U.S. gaming operators have in understanding, and serving, this high-spending population.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 2008, the average visitor gambled $594 in Macau, nearly three times the amount gambled by a Las Vegas visitor, according to CLSA Asia-Pacific Markets, a research and brokerage firm.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While gamblers come to Macau from all over the world, the casinos here depend on Asian visitors — specifically, those from Hong Kong and the mainland — to keep its gambling tables full. "The Chinese don't go to Macau to gamble for fun; they see gambling as serious business," says Aaron Fischer, head of Asian consumer and gaming research at CLSA.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He attributes higher consumer spending in Macau to the Chinese economy's growth — gross domestic product rose 9% year over year in the third quarter of 2009 after years of double-digit growth — which has boosted consumers' disposable income.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Las Vegas down, not out&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wynn, Las Vegas Sands and MGM Mirage (MGM)— which operates its Macau casino with a local partner — are hoping to persuade Macau high rollers to spend even more.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But their posh restaurants, luxury shops and elaborate entertainment have yet to catch everyone's fancy: While the average Las Vegas visitor stays nearly four days, Macau visitors stay only about a day and a half, because they're generally coming in just to gamble, according to CLSA.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is "very unlikely that Macau will ever replicate the Las Vegas model," given Asians' preference for gambling, writes Anil Daswani, global head of gaming at Citigroup Global Markets, in a January research report.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Macau is about gaming; Vegas is about entertainment," says Daswani.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even so, some experts say that it might be a blessing in disguise that Macau wasn't overly reliant on entertainment-related revenue during the downturn. Analysts point out that one reason Las Vegas casinos have yet to recover is that U.S. consumers, with less disposable income, are cutting back on discretionary spending, including dining, shopping and entertainment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Vices such as gambling have generally been more recession-proof, says Kareem Jalal, publisher of Inside Asian Gaming. Yet, even Las Vegas' gambling has been hit amid the severity of the recession and credit crunch in the U.S., he notes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In recent months, the Las Vegas market has shown signs of a fledgling recovery. Visitors are returning, but revenue is still down significantly, according to data from the American Gaming Association, an industry trade group.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"A lot of people are going to Las Vegas, but they're not spending as much," says the group's CEO Frank Fahrenkopf. Fahrenkopf expects another few tough quarters for Las Vegas casinos, followed by a gradual recovery.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Analysts say while Las Vegas casinos are down, they're certainly not out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Anybody who bets against Las Vegas in the long run will be placing a losing bet," says Jonathan Galaviz, an independent travel and leisure strategist. "I am very confident in the long-term viability of Las Vegas as a tourism destination."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gambling has long been a part of Macau's history, but until 2002, the industry was monopolized by local tycoon Stanley Ho. Then, the government opened the door to foreign investors, and American gambling companies staked their claim on Macau.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fueled by a vision of creating a Las Vegas of the East, U.S. gambling operators loaded up on debt to build massive casinos here. At the same time, they expanded their properties in Las Vegas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Trouble could be long-term&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This overleveraging "was perpetuated by the bubble environment," and casinos' view that they'd thrive in any economy, says Bill Lerner, a partner at Union Gaming Group, a research and advisory firm.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These high debt loads now threaten to haunt casino companies for years to come. In Singapore, if Las Vegas Sands' new casino doesn't perform well, the company could face troubles paying its debt, says Foley, of Moody's.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Las Vegas casinos must also grapple with a glut of hotel rooms and Macau properties with the likelihood of slower growth as China's government tries to balance consumers' desire to gamble with the societal problems created on the mainland.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Beijing wants to see managed growth in Macau, and we would take that to mean gaming revenue will grow at a pace that's somewhat consistent with China GDP," says Daswani.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Still, even controlled growth in Macau is looking pretty good these days for U.S. casino companies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Hopefully, the improvement of the Macau properties will offset any further declines in the Las Vegas properties," says Foley. "The trend in Macau right now is positive, and will provide an earnings catalyst" for U.S. firms.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

no actual, sendo esperada uma subida do nível médio das águas do Rio das Pérolas até 60 centímetros nos próximos 40 anos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pela análise dos efeitos do aquecimento global sentidos na Região Administrativa Especial da China, os Serviços Meteorológicos e Geofísicos prevêem que Macau venha a ser influenciada, com mais frequência, por fenómenos naturais extremos, como inundações, tempestades, aguaceiros fortes ou temperaturas elevadas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Em 2005, cada residente de Macau emitia, em média, 5,1 toneladas de gases de efeito estufa, valor superior à média mundial, com a produção de electricidade e os meios de transporte a serem as principais fontes das emissões de carbono, indicam dados do organismo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;De modo a acompanhar e contribuir para o cumprimento do compromisso assumido pela China de reduzir entre 40 a 45 por cento a emissão de carbono até 2020, o Governo de Macau está a avaliar a situação do território para definir em breve políticas e medidas que passarão pela conservação da energia e sensibilização da população e empresas turísticas para essa necessidade.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A introdução de energias limpas, a melhoria da rede rodoviária e a promoção da utilização de transportes públicos são algumas das medidas que o Governo de Macau está já a adoptar, salientam os Serviços Meteorológicos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;De modo a facilitar a aplicação da Convenção-Quadro das Nações Unidas sobre as Alterações Climáticas e o Protocolo de Quioto, o Governo de Macau e o departamento de alterações climáticas da Comissão da China para o Desenvolvimento e Reforma estabeleceram um mecanismo de contacto periódico para intensificarem a comunicação sobre técnicas e medidas de redução de emissões de carbono.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Os Serviços Meteorológicos e Geofísicos de Macau vão também implementar este ano as previsões do Índice da Temperatura, focado no frio ou calor, para a população compreender melhor o estado do tempo, e do Índice Ultravioleta (UV) para facilitar a prevenção de queimaduras solares ou hipotermia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PNE.&lt;div

Waterfront Air, que planeia arrancar até 2011 com ligações em hidroavião entre Shenzhen, Macau e Cantão, a partir de 200 euros por trajecto.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Há um ano a aguardar a “luz verde” das autoridades de Hong Kong para iniciar os voos a partir do terminal marítimo do aeroporto internacional da ex-colónia britânica para o terminal marítimo de Pac On, na ilha da Taipa, em Macau, Peter de Kantzow e o empresário canadiano Michael Agopsowicz planeiam arrancar com a operação no final do ano a partir da cidade vizinha de Shenzhen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Se tudo correr bem, esperamos lançar os voos em hidroavião entre Hong Kong, Shenzhen, Cantão e Macau em 2011”, disse Peter de Kantzow, filho de Sydney de Kantzow, fundador da Cathay Pacific e da Macau Air Transport Company, o primeiro serviço comercial de hidroaviões da Ásia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A Waterfront Air, sediada em Hong Kong, assinou recentemente um memorando de entendimento com a empresa responsável pelo Terminal Marítimo de Shenzhen, na província continental de Guangdong, para a exploração de ligações em hidroaviões entre aquele terminal - que funcionará como hub -, Macau e Cantão a partir do quarto trimestre do ano.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Sabemos que há uma enorme procura por alternativas de transporte de alta velocidade que liguem o Delta do Rio das Pérolas”, salientou Peter de Kantzow, num comunicado da empresa ao justificar a aposta.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Com uma frota a alugar de dez hidroaviões DHC-6 “Twin Otter”, com capacidade para 18 passageiros, a Waterfront Air planeia ligar Hong Kong e Shenzhen em 15 minutos e Hong Kong e Macau em 20 minutos, a partir de 2 500 dólares de Hong Kong (cerca de 200 euros) por trajecto.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;O último serviço de hidroaviões que ligou Hong Kong a Macau foi realizado a 01 de Dezembro de 1962 pela Macao Air Transport Company num hidroavião italiano de seis lugares, tendo sido suspenso devido às más condições de aterragem em Macau, pela concentração de lama nas águas do rio das Pérolas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mas os hidroaviões da Macao Air Transport Company não foram só os primeiros e os últimos a transportar passageiros na região, como também foram os primeiros alvos de desvio aéreo do mundo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;O comércio de ouro, cuja proibição decretada pelo tratado de Bretton-Woods estava prestes a vigorar em Hong Kong, levou o comerciante macaense Pedro José Lobo a associar-se aos fundadores da Cathay Pacific para lançarem a Macao Air Transport Company, que começou em 1948 a explorar a rota Hong Kong-Macau com anfíbios Catalina, que transportavam duas vezes por semana passageiros e ouro.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Foi um desses Catalina, o “Miss Macau”, que a 16 de Junho de 1948 foi desviado em pleno voo por uma quadrilha de chineses, embarcados em Macau como passageiros, que pretendiam roubar o ouro transportado, mas que apenas conseguiram despenhar a aeronave, vitimando 26 passageiros, com a excepção de um dos piratas, que acabaria preso em Macau sem julgamento, tendo sido morto após a sua libertação em 1951.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PNE.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img

type='text'>Macau Science Center from the inside (Macau daily Times, 18-01)</title><content type='html'>The new Macau Science Center opens its doors on January 25 and intends on promoting education, tourism and conferences. The center aims to stimulate and cultivate students’ interest in science and, at the same time, enhance public understanding of science and technology through interactive exhibitions and programs offered at the Planetarium.&lt;br /&gt;The Exhibition Center and Atrium accommodate around 450 interactive exhibits and the galleries cover several topics, from Space Science to Eco-conservation.&lt;br /&gt;There are two galleries reserved for special exhibitions. The exhibitions seek to provide knowledge-oriented, scientific and interactive exhibits and allow visitors to explore science in a hands-on way.&lt;br /&gt;Many of the exhibits are installed with RFID readers for visitors with a PEARL card – a personal activities record and linkage card available for purchase at the center – to record personal visiting data, photographs and videos.&lt;br /&gt;The Planetarium seats 139 and has a set of 12 digital projectors for showing normal dome films and 3D images. From January 25, it will screen two shows in Chinese, Portuguese and English.&lt;br /&gt;“Dawn of Space Age 3D” guides audience through a 3D journey of the 50 years of space exploration in human history. “Cosmic Collisions” presents collision events in the universe that astronomers believe to be crucial in the cosmic evolution history. There are sky shows and other 3D films available also.&lt;br /&gt;Finally, the Convention Center includes a multi-function convention hall and four meeting rooms. The convention hall can accommodate 500 people for meetings and 200 for ballroom events.&lt;br /&gt;Ticket costs range from MOP15 to 45. Residents can get discounts, while visitors aged 18 or younger, aged 65 or above, as well as full-time students and people with a disability and one carer can visit the Exhibition Center for free.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Four themes in 12 galleries&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Space Science Gallery is the first gallery upon entry into the Exhibition Hall. In total, there are 12 galleries with permanent exhibitions that are divided into four themes, and two for temporary exhibits.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Science for Children&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are three galleries specially designed for children. The Fun Science Gallery introduces science to kids between 2-7 years old. The Children Science Gallery allows younger children to acquire science knowledge through completing and perfecting hands-on tasks. They can either explore individually a group of water-related exhibits, or have fun with four themed exhibit tables. The Science Express Gallery has a centerpiece called “Central Station” with the train “Science Express” supported by four exhibition zones. The train, through interactive exhibits and a multi-purpose performance stage, will bring children to different areas of science, meeting the scientists and their discoveries.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Technology&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Space Science Gallery has the form of a space science academy where the visitors can learn the basic elements of space exploration and train as a future astronaut. The Chinese space program is the main theme. The Robotic Gallery represents a robot factory shop that provides all facilities for understanding and building robots. State-of-the-art robots will be demonstrated from time to time and a workshop will allow participants to create their own robots from parts. The Science Exploration Gallery displays modern science and technology written and invented by the western masters who came to the East through Macau, while scientific knowledge of the East also made is way to the west.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Environment&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Earth Gallery depicts the power of the Earth and its exhibits will be themed around the key natural phenomena and their characteristics.

Os investidores lusófonos podem aproveitar as vantagens para se instalarem na China, reforçando parcerias com empresas chinesas”, adiantou.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;O Fórum para a Cooperação Económica e Comercial entre a China e os Países de Língua Portuguesa tem, segundo Francisco Mantero, dinamizado esse enquadramento, e pode também assumir um papel ainda maior na formação de técnicos dos países lusófonos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Macau é o ponto de ligação das relações da China não só em África mas também no Brasil. Tem um activo empresarial muito importante e tem a língua portuguesa, cujo valor económico foi promovido pelo Instituto Camões”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Também o desenvolvimento da região do Delta do Rio das Pérolas foi apontado como central no futuro das relações económicas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Será uma das regiões mais dinâmicas na China daqui a uns anos. É um mercado consumidor muito bom”, explica Francisco Mantero.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Publicada no último trimestre de 2009, a obra “Macau e as Relações Económicas China/Países de Língua Portuguesa: 1999-2009 – Dez Anos de Crescimento” foi elaborada por uma equipa de jornalistas do grupo de media Macaulink associado à Delta Edições.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“A informação poderá ser aproveitada por empresários e será publicada em inglês e chinês”, disse Jorge Rangel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“A publicação assinala a comemoração da primeira década da RAEM e o 10º aniversário do IIM, criado em 1999. Esperam-se novas iniciativas do Instituto nos próximos anos”, adiantou.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jorge Rangel lembrou o objectivo de tornar Macau num centro educativo e defendeu a necessidade de que o modelo chinês seja “olhado” por países ocidentais como Portugal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Por um lado, temos a China com um dinamismo grande e, por outro, uma Europa envelhecida. O desenvolvimento dependerá de parcerias entre o Estado e entidades empresariais privadas. É preciso atrair investimento”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Enquanto que o Governo português quer ganhar o máximo de imposto na venda de um carro, por exemplo, Macau quer ganhar o mínimo, pois assim venderá mais”, explica. “Portugal não deve virar costas ao seu percurso original. Precisa de olhar para o modelo chinês para conseguir ter sucesso”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As intervenções geraram debate sobre a exportabilidade do modelo chinês, levantada pelo economista Jorge Braga de Macedo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fernanda Ilhéu, ex-secretária geral da Câmara de Comércio e Indústria Luso-Chinesa evocou a necessidade de investimento, “sem o qual não há negócio”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;O Instituto Internacional de Macau prepara o lançamento de uma edição do livro em inglês e chinês.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

type='text'>Xangai/Expo2010: Mais de 240 países e organizações, 18 milhões de bilhetes já vendidos (Lusa, 18-01)</title><content type='html'>Mais de 240 países e organizações internacionais confirmaram a participação na Expo2010, que decorrerá em Xangai de 01 Maio a 31 de Outubro, anunciou hoje um responsável pela organização do certame.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Numa conferência de imprensa em Pequim, Yang Xiong, vice-director da comissão organizadora da Expo 2010 e vice-presidente da câmara de Xangai, anunciou também que já estavam vendidos mais de 18 milhões de bilhetes, o que corresponde a cerca de um quarto do número esperado de visitantes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;É o maior acontecimento internacional organizado pela China depois dos Jogos Olímpicos de Pequim, no Verão de 2008, e decorrerá sob o lema “Melhor Cidade, Melhor Qualidade de Vida”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Acolher a Expo 2010 é um grande acontecimento não apenas para Xangai, mas para toda a nação”, disse o presidente chinês, Hu Jintao, durante a visita que efectuou no último fim-de-semana ao local.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Um total de 192 países e cinquenta organizações internacionais confirmaram a sua participação no certame, que ocupa uma área de 528 hectares (dez vezes a Expo 98, em Lisboa), ao longo das duas margens do rio Huangpu, afluente do rio Yangtze que atravessa Xangai.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A construção da maioria dos pavilhões “está quase concluída” e “conforme o plano estabelecido, os preparativos entraram na fase final”, referiu ainda Yang Xiong.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Portugal vai apresentar-se na Expo 2010, em Xangai, como “uma praça para o mundo” e “um mundo de energias”, procurando ampliar a posição geoestratégica do país (“porta do Atlântico”) e a “criatividade e inovação” dos portugueses.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Para o Comissariado-geral de Portugal, dirigido pelo presidente da Parque Expo, Rolando Borges Martins, a praça representa “o lugar central da vida e actividades urbanas” e, também, “um território de memória e palco de mudanças”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;O projecto para o Pavilhão de Portugal, orçado em três milhões de euros, foi adjudicado a um consórcio liderado por uma empresa sedeada em Macau, a Pal Asiaconsult Lda, e que inclui a YDreams, Informática SA.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Carlos Macedo e Couto, 58 anos, formado em Lisboa e radicado em Macau, é o arquitecto responsável pelo projecto.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“As autoridades chinesas estão empenhadas em que a Expo 2010 seja a maior de sempre”, disse Rolando Borges Martins quando assinou o contrato para a participação portuguesa no certame, em Abril.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Portugal só pode ganhar se se apresentar de forma atractiva e aproveitar bem as potencialidades da China”, referiu, acrescentando: “Vamos mobilizar as empresas portuguesas que já estão na China e as que queiram aproveitar a Expo 2010 para entrar na China”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;AC.&lt;div

para a afirmação da língua portuguesa no mundo”. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A docente universitária, de 52 anos, tem dedicado a sua carreira a história da Língua Portuguesa no mundo, desde os

Desta feita, autores como Rui Manuel Loureiro e José Eugenio Borao debruçam-se sobre fortificações de matrizes europeias no Extremo Oriente, enquanto que Jin Guoping/Wu Zhiliang e Sun Laichen tratam fontes e artefactos que relatam e ilustram a utilização das armas de fogo europeias e orientais na região dos mares da China, do Japão ao Vietname, onde provas arqueológicas primárias revelam o uso de espingardas de estilo chinês, durante os séculos xv e xvi. Lúcio de Sousa, por sua vez, analisa as estruturas “privadas e oficiais” no contexto das estratégias militares de protecção das rotas marítimas portuguesas na região e, mormente, a rota Macau-Nagasáqui, recorrendo a fontes ibéricas, italianas, holandesas e japonesas. Num quadrante oposto do encontro Oriente-Ocidente, a presente edição inclui um trabalho inédito, sobre o espólio de sedas e bordados sino-portugueses que repousa quase ignorado no Victoria &amp; Albert Museum, em Londres.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;OUR COVER&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The hazy cover image hints at another layer of information to be unveiled in the theme of “Weapons, Forts and Military Strategies in East Asia”. Authors Rui Manuel Loureiro and José Eugenio Borao look at European fortresses in the Far East, while Jin Guoping/Wu Zhiliang and Sun Laichen consider sources and artifacts illustrating how European and oriental weapons were used in the seas around China, Japan and Vietnam, where archaeological remains indicate the use of Chinese-style rifles in the 15th and 16th centuries. Using Iberian, Italian, Dutch and Japanese sources, Lúcio de Sousa analyses private and official structures in the military defense of Portuguese sea routes in the region, particularly between Macao and Nagasaki. A contrasting East-West encounter is provided with a study on Sino-Portuguese embroideries and silks held in the collection of the Victoria &amp; Albert Museum in London.&lt;div

type='text'>Deputados defendem combate ao despesismo como prioridade do novo Governo (Lusa, 05-01)</title><content type='html'>A criação de um regime de reservas financeiras e a racionalização das despesas são prioridades apontadas pelos deputados no primeiro plenário de 2010 para o primeiro ano de governação do Executivo liderado por Fernando Chui Sai On.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Paul Chan Wai Chi, do Novo Macau Democrático, alertou que “basta lançar um relance aos vários relatórios de auditoria para se saber do muito desperdício nos serviços públicos, sem ninguém ter sido chamado à responsabilidade”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Com um plenário marcado por 15 intervenções antes da Ordem do Dia, Kwan Tsui Hang, representante dos operários, e Lee Chong Cheng apelaram ao Governo para a necessidade de se acelerarem os trabalhos para o estabelecimento de uma reserva financeira e de um orçamento das finanças públicas, medidas que, defendem, deverão ser incluídas nas Linhas de Acção Governativa como prioritárias.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Não se afasta a possibilidade do ressurgimento de uma nova crise financeira, por isso é necessário melhorar a elaboração dos orçamentos e a gestão financeira pública”, alertou Lee Chong Cheng, secundado por Kwan Tsui Hang, que salientou a necessidade de se alterar o modelo actual de “gastar tudo o que se recebe”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conceder mais poderes de gestão e de fiscalização aos serviços financeiros e de auditoria, “acabando com o desperdício de dinheiro e corrupção, e evitar abusos na utilização do erário público através da definição cuidada de políticas” são outras prioridades apontadas pela representante dos operários.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Para Melinda Chan, as prioridades do Executivo de Chui Sai On passam pela adopção de medidas para se elevar a transparência e o nível de governação e se reduzir o descontentamento da população, “suprindo-se as necessidades do passado que prejudicaram gravemente a credibilidade pública do Governo”, disse referindo o escândalo de corrupção do ex-Secretário para os Transportes e Obras Públicas, Ao Man Long.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;O reforço do papel de fiscalização da Assembleia Legislativa sobre o Governo, o aperfeiçoamento do regime jurídico e medidas de apoio aos empresários locais são outros passos a dar, acrescentou a deputada.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lee Chong Cheng considera também a conjugação do desenvolvimento com os planos regionais, a reforma do sistema educativo, a definição de uma política demográfica a par da regulação de quadros especializados e da formação de locais como medidas necessárias para se salvaguardarem os direitos, interesses e oportunidades de emprego dos trabalhadores locais.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lam Heong Sang disse ser essencial o estabelecimento de um salário mínimo, ao apontar que cerca de 20 mil trabalhadores auferem salários mensais inferiores à equivalência de 300 euros.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A revisão de toda a legislação que regula a protecção ambiental e a redução do carbono são, para Chui Sai Peng, questões que deverão ser classificadas como prioridades pelo novo Governo, enquanto que Ng Kuok Cheong, do Novo Macau Democrático, salienta o planeamento da oferta de habitação pública até 40 mil fracções.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PNE.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lusa/fim&lt;div

It explores the distinctive case of Macau during the post-transition period (1999-2009) assessing an emerging displacement phenomenon as a consequence of globalization processes: mass-migration and tourism, and recent accelerated urbanization.  Foregrounding the importance of the role of identity in the ways people adapt to new urban spaces, the research presents the hypothesis that open public spaces are a possible key factor in the process of identity construction and change. Since “human identity presupposes the identity of a place” (Schultz 1980) this study explores “the physical qualities which relate to the attributes of identity” in open public spaces. It examines the socio-cultural and spatial identities, and the imaginary in seven public squares in modern Macau. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The presentation is structured by three main sections: the first addresses the definitions of space and identity. The second focuses on the methodological construction of identity analysis. Understanding urban identity requires a methodological analysis system that cuts across many dimensions: physical space (morphological dimension), human space (socio-cultural and politico-economic dimension) and mental space (perceptual dimension). This identity definition has been obtained looking at history and exploring the ‘real-life’ context therefore it will present the socio-spatial evolution of the selected squares and their current descriptions. The last section will present the research findings regarding the assessment of individual’s feelings of being or not being part of the city of Macau (emerging displacement) and the public space’s role in this identification process. This investigation underlines the importance of public space as a space of representation and reaction that is able to generate relationships with a “sense of place”. It is imperative that we design public spaces that can bridge the tension between plurality, between cultures, needs and attitudes and these may all be aligned and managed as part of a strategy which will drive the public towards a better human and built environment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bio-Sketch: Doutoranda na Bartlett School of Planning, University College London, investiga o espaço público urbano contemporâneo financiada pela Fundação para a Ciência e Tecnologia, FCT.

From a sleepy Portuguese enclave, it has managed to transform itself into the gaming capital of the world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Veteran magazine publisher and talkshow host Iu Veng Ion has seen the island prosper under Chinese rule, but not without cost.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The gap between the income of the local people and property prices is getting bigger and bigger. In the past, when getting a mortgage, people could easily pay a downpayment of 10 to 20 per cent of the value. Nowadays, even 10 per cent is quite difficult," he said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Other gripes include congestion in the city and job security, with the influx of workers from the region.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The public perception is that government efficiency is not up to scratch. But compared to ten years ago, things have improved. Macau people are now governing Macau, so of course, the citizens will demand more from the government. During the Portuguese rule, it was useless to complain because you'd be ignored," he added.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When the Portuguese left, government coffers were nearly empty. Then in 2001, the territory's gaming sector was liberalised, breaking casino tycoon Stanley Ho's four-decade monopoly and introducing Las Vegas-style glitz to gambling.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The city never looked back as tourism numbers shot up. Even when the chips were down during SARS and the global financial crisis, the central government gave solid backing by relaxing its travel scheme for more mainland Chinese to visit the territory.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today, more than half of Macau's visitors are from the mainland.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Businessman-turned-Chief Executive Edmund Ho guided Macau over the first ten years, but his administration has not been without controversy. His former public works minister Ao Man-Long was convicted earlier this year for taking millions of dollars in bribes and was sentenced to 28 years in jail.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Au Kam San, democratic legislator, said: "For Edmond Ho Hau-Wah, the people had high expectations for him and didn't want him to fail. Because of this, they were tolerant, more patient, so he had a longer honeymoon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"For Fernando Chui Sai-On, it's clear citizens are already unhappy, bureaus under him aren't happy either, so there's no honeymoon for him. In fact, during the elections, he was heavily grilled by the people, so he's got a tough job ahead."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Former cultural affairs minister Fernando Chui was the only candidate in the running, backed by Beijing and elected by a small-circle committee of just 300 people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Au said: "We want to show that 'Macau people' means all who are citizens of Macau, not just the elite who have special privileges. This is so that the policy-making process can be more open and fair.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"We're under one country, two systems, and we're not going to impact the central government.

and four other casino-license holders in Macau will be watching anxiously to see whether China's leader likes what he sees in the gambling playground. &lt;/p&gt;         &lt;p&gt; The modern skyline of glitzy casinos and hotels is almost unrecognizable from the sleepy Portuguese enclave of a decade earlier. In that time, visitors to Macau have tripled, topping 23 million last year, with an estimated two-thirds coming directly from China and an increase in arrivals via Hong Kong. &lt;/p&gt;         &lt;p&gt; President Hu's blessing matters for Macau and its casinos, as China holds the trump card: the ability to switch on or off a seemingly limitless supply of gambling fodder for the roulette tables. Mainland Chinese authorities have a habit of arbitrarily changing visa policies for visitors to Macau. &lt;/p&gt;         &lt;p&gt; That gambling accounts for an estimated 70% of public revenues underscores the importance of getting along.             &lt;/p&gt;         &lt;p&gt; So far, relations with China have been pretty strong. Despite the last years of his leadership being blighted by issues of graft, outgoing Macau Chief Executive Edmund Ho received warm praise from President Hu at the anniversary celebration. He was described as "loyal to your job, hard-working and enterprising" as well as meriting a "high rating from the central government." And if that wasn't enough, two pandas are on the way as gifts. &lt;/p&gt;         &lt;p&gt; One explanation for the high praise is that Macau has faithfully toed the Beijing line, showing how special administrative regions (SAR) of China can work successfully. It enacted a state security law -- prohibiting treason, secession, sedition and subversion against the central government -- with little fuss. In the SAR of Hong Kong, plans for a similar law were shelved after mass protests in 2003. &lt;/p&gt;         &lt;p&gt; There has also been less controversy over political change, which saw the new Chief Executive Fernando Chui Sai On -- a safe establishment choice -- sworn in uncontested this weekend. The election only asks for a majority from the 300-strong election committee, whereas Hong Kong's Basic Law includes an inconvenient goal of electing both the chief executive and all legislators by universal suffrage. Hong Kong people are unlikely to roll over on this quietly. &lt;/p&gt;         &lt;p&gt; For now Macau gaming is on the up again after a rollercoaster year. Casino revenues rose 59% in November. At one point, the credit crunch and falling revenues had pushed some of the biggest casino names to the verge of bankruptcy before an inflow of mainland Chinese liquidity and tourists. In recent months, Wynn Resorts &lt;span id="quote695654198" class="quotepeekbase bgQuote up"&gt;&lt;span class="bgChannel"&gt;/quotes/comstock/15*!wynn&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="bgRealtimeChannel"&gt;/quotes/nls/wynn&lt;/span&gt;        (&lt;span class="symbol"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.marketwatch.com/investing/stock/WYNN" title="Wynn Resorts Ltd"&gt;WYNN&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;        &lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="data bgLast symbol"&gt;60.92&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;,        &lt;span class="data bgChange symbol"&gt;+0.90&lt;/span&gt;,        &lt;span class="data bgPercentChange symbol"&gt;+1.50%&lt;/span&gt;)      &lt;/span&gt; and Las Vegas Sands       &lt;span id="quote1287531833" class="quotepeekbase bgQuote up"&gt;&lt;span class="bgChannel"&gt;/quotes/comstock/13*!lvs&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="bgRealtimeChannel"&gt;/quotes/nls/lvs&lt;/span&gt;        (&lt;span class="symbol"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.marketwatch.com/investing/stock/LVS" title="Las Vegas Sands Corp"&gt;LVS&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;        &lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="data bgLast symbol"&gt;15.59&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;,        &lt;span class="data bgChange symbol"&gt;+0.30&lt;/span&gt;,        &lt;span class="data bgPercentChange symbol"&gt;+1.96%&lt;/span&gt;)      &lt;/span&gt; both listed their Macau operations in Hong Kong, bolstering their finances.            &lt;/p&gt;         &lt;p&gt; But where does Macau go from here? The criticism in the past by mainland leaders has been that Macau is too reliant on gambling, and during his visit President Hu repeated his call for Macau to diversify its economy. &lt;/p&gt;         &lt;p&gt; So far it has been the foreign operators like Sands -- with its huge Venetian complex -- that have done most to push Macau as a holiday and conference destination, appealing to more than just hardcore gamblers. That will take time, however, as there is still little evidence of families, shoppers and conferences. &lt;/p&gt;         &lt;p&gt; Meanwhile, there is also little sign of diversification in the newest addition to Macau's casino line-up. The Oceanic, run by casino king Stanley Ho's SJM Holdings &lt;span id="quote1299532371" class="quotepeekbase bgQuote down"&gt;&lt;span class="bgChannel"&gt;/quotes/comstock/22h!e:880&lt;/span&gt;        (&lt;span class="symbol"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.marketwatch.com/investing/stock/880?countrycode=hk" title="Sjm Holdings Ltd."&gt;HK:880&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;        &lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="data bgLast symbol"&gt;4.11&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;,        &lt;span class="data bgChange symbol"&gt;-0.11&lt;/span&gt;,        &lt;span class="data bgPercentChange symbol"&gt;-2.61%&lt;/span&gt;)      &lt;/span&gt;, is a no-frills mass-market casino housed in a renovated department store, a stone's throw from the Macau ferry pier. It adds another 260 gambling tables, bereft of the distractions of restaurants or fancy shops. Perhaps the old hand knows what the hardcore gamblers really want. &lt;/p&gt;         &lt;p&gt; Elsewhere, with the casino groups on a firmer financial footing, it appears full steam ahead on more new projects. But just how many more hotels and blackjack tables can Macau and its mainland gambling clientele support? &lt;/p&gt;         &lt;p&gt; Work is resuming on the half-finished Cotai Strip, modeled on Las Vegas. Galaxy Entertainment Group       &lt;span id="quote1931182892" class="quotepeekbase bgQuote up"&gt;&lt;span class="bgChannel"&gt;/quotes/comstock/22h!e:27&lt;/span&gt;        (&lt;span class="symbol"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.marketwatch.com/investing/stock/27?countrycode=hk" title="Galaxy Entertainme"&gt;HK:27&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;        &lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="data bgLast symbol"&gt;3.30&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;,        &lt;span class="data bgChange symbol"&gt;+0.02&lt;/span&gt;,        &lt;span class="data bgPercentChange symbol"&gt;+0.61%&lt;/span&gt;)      &lt;/span&gt;      &lt;span id="quote1139832875" class="quotepeekbase bgQuote up"&gt;&lt;span class="bgChannel"&gt;/quotes/comstock/11i!gxyef&lt;/span&gt;        (&lt;span class="symbol"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.marketwatch.com/investing/stock/GXYEF" title="Galaxy Entertainment Grp Ltd"&gt;GXYEF&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;        &lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="data bgLast symbol"&gt;0.50&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;,        &lt;span class="data bgChange symbol"&gt;+0.05&lt;/span&gt;,        &lt;span class="data bgPercentChange symbol"&gt;+11.11%&lt;/span&gt;)      &lt;/span&gt; announced last week it is pushing ahead with its 2,200-room, three-hotel Cotai casino resort complex, expected to open early 2011. Its budget of 14 billion Hong Kong dollars ($1.8 billion) includes 350 tons of white sand to construct beaches above the casino podium. Meanwhile, Sands has announced it has $1.45 billion financing in place to restart work on its half-built 6,400-room resort across the street from the Venetian Macau. &lt;/p&gt;          Macau came back from the brink last time, but the prospect of an oversupply of casinos and hotels means its toughest test could yet lie ahead. If we do get another credit crunch, or mainland Chinese officials decide to limit gambling trips, it could once again be vulnerable. And who will bail out the house then? Some speculate the plan all along was for these money-spinning foreign-owned casinos to end up in the hands of China.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12852670-3102185429997606106?l=macaulogia.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://www.marketwatch.com/story/macau-keeps-the-dice-rolling-2009-12-20' title='Macau keeps the dice rolling: Commentary: Hu promises pandas, Beijing keeps casino trump card (MarketWatch, 20-12)'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://macaulogia.blogspot.com/feeds/3102185429997606106/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=12852670&amp;postID=3102185429997606106&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12852670/posts/default/3102185429997606106'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12852670/posts/default/3102185429997606106'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://macaulogia.blogspot.com/2009/12/macau-keeps-dice-rolling-commentary-hu.html' title='Macau keeps the dice rolling: Commentary: Hu promises pandas, Beijing keeps casino trump card (MarketWatch, 20-12)'/><author><name>Rogério Miguel Puga</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02984713696911702237</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12852670.post-3754232698102513629</id><published>2009-12-22T03:49:00.001+08:00</published><updated>2009-12-22T03:50:58.845+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Edmund Ho elogia portugueses (RTP 1, 19-12)</title><content type='html'>&lt;h2&gt;http://tv1.rtp.pt/noticias/index.php?t=Edmund-Ho-elogia-portugueses.rtp&amp;amp;headline=46&amp;amp;visual=9&amp;amp;article=304619&amp;amp;tm=66&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;h2&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;h2&gt;O actual líder do Governo de Macau, Edmund Ho, considerou esta tarde que a comunidade portuguesa de Macau tem sido uma força importante para o desenvolvimento da Região Administrativa Especial.

Tenho feito muitas reportagens e várias envolvendo as diversas realidades, culturas, religiões e povos que convivem em Macau e que me influenciaram”, justificou Luciana Leitão em declarações à Agência Lusa.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Durante o exercício da escrita, Luciana Leitão deparou-se com um anúncio da Papiro Editora que procurava escritores com obra inédita e decidiu arriscar. “Eles gostaram dos contos, decidiram publicá-los e assim nasceu ‘Genti di Macau’”, explica.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Portugueses, macaenses, chineses, filipinos e americanos são nacionalidades que na primeira obra de Luciana Leitão ganham nomes e se cruzam em experiências proporcionadas pela terra que se transformou numa casa, por opção ou acaso, ao longo de meia centena de páginas.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“O livro fala sobre a interacção entre as diferentes comunidades, sobre as relações que se criam, os diferentes usos, costumes e religiões que convivem no território, com base na minha interacção com elas”, realça Luciana Leitão, formada em Direito, mas que escolheu o jornalismo como profissão.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ao constatar que “não há uma interacção muito grande entre as diferentes comunidades em Macau, apesar das relações serem ali mais próximas do que em Portugal, devido à pequena dimensão do território”, a jornalista afasta a construção de estereótipos, dando apenas a conhecer o seu olhar sobre as relações inter-pessoais na região “devolvida” por Portugal à China há uma década.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Um português perdido por Macau em busca do filho, uma rapariga macaense que parte para Portugal com os receios da transição de poderes para a China e uma criança fascinada pelas histórias antigas contadas em patuá, o “crioulo” de Macau, são “Genti di Macau” vista e contada por Luciana Leitão.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A obra, com prefácio do poeta e tradutor Yao Jingming e com capa da autoria do designer macaense João Magalhães, é hoje lançada na Livraria Barata.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Luciana Leitão gostou do desafio proporcionado pela sua primeira experiência literária e já pensa no próximo projecto que pretende concretizar num romance.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;PNE.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Lusa/fim&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12852670-455361365210345661?l=macaulogia.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://www.lusa.pt/lusaweb/user/showitem?service=310&amp;listid=NewsList310&amp;listpage=1&amp;docid=10468671' title='Jornalista Luciana Leitão publica livro de contos sobre &quot;Genti di Macau&quot; (Lusa, 17-12)'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://macaulogia.blogspot.com/feeds/455361365210345661/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=12852670&amp;postID=455361365210345661&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12852670/posts/default/455361365210345661'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12852670/posts/default/455361365210345661'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://macaulogia.blogspot.com/2009/12/jornalista-luciana-leitao-publica-livro.html' title='Jornalista Luciana Leitão publica livro de contos sobre &quot;Genti di Macau&quot; (Lusa, 17-12)'/><author><name>Rogério Miguel Puga</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02984713696911702237</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12852670.post-4907115566409368236</id><published>2009-12-22T03:44:00.001+08:00</published><updated>2009-12-22T03:46:07.444+08:00</updated><title type='text'>«Amor no Rio das Pérolas», retrato de Macau de dois tempos (Diario Digital)</title><content type='html'>&lt;span tahoma=""    style="font-size:-1;color:#999999;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;exto: Sandra Gonçalves&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;                     &lt;span class="leadArtigo"&gt; Marta Curto acaba de lançar um novo romance, «Amor no Rio das Pérolas» (Livros d´Hoje), um livro que a ajudou a perceber melhor o território onde viveu: Macau. Em entrevista ao &lt;i&gt;Diário Digital&lt;/i&gt;, confessa-se uma «romântica nata», mas também «muito céptica em relação ao amor». &lt;/span&gt;            &lt;p&gt; «Amor no Rio das Pérolas» chega numa altura em que se assinalam os 10 anos da transição do território de Macau para a China. Estamos em 1850. A história começa com Francisco, filho do comandante Francisco d´Assis e Silva, que ficou órfão aos cinco anos, enquanto Vitória é abandonada à nascença na Roda da Santa Casa da Misericórdia de Macau. O destino dos dois cruzar-se-á e assistiremos, pouco a pouco, ao nascer de um amor profundo.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; Mais de um século depois, Sofia, filha de portugueses, descobre o diário deixado por Francisco numa capela e encanta-se com a história.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;  Um romance cheio de encontros e desencontros que retrata Macau a dois tempos, o do século XIX e o dos dias de hoje.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;     &lt;b&gt;É coincidência a edição deste livro quando se assinalam os dez anos da passagem administrativa de Macau? Ou foi mero acaso?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Há coincidências na vida? Eu cheguei a Macau dois anos antes da transferência. Aconteceu ir parar aquele canto do mundo. Escrevi o meu primeiro livro, «Uma Amiga como Shiva», já em Macau, e o segundo acabou por ser sobre a terra onde eu vivia. Porquê? A vontade de escrever um livro sobre o território chinês foi imediata, nem que seja porque, escrevendo, entendia melhor o que via. Macau é um sítio muito peculiar, cheio de contrastes e de entrelinhas que, embora pareçam não ter nada a ver umas com as outras, acabam por se juntar na personalidade da cidade. Publicar nesta altura pareceu apropriado porque o livro passa-se entre o final do século XIX e meados de 2009, ou seja, duas épocas de administração diferentes. E a transição marca o ponto de viragem dessas duas fases da vida de Macau. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;  &lt;b&gt;Neste romance fala de uma jovem, a Vitória, que sente «asco» pelos portugueses? Testemunhou esse sentimento nos dois anos em que lá esteve?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A Vitória sente asco de estrangeiros, não necessariamente de portugueses. E mais do que asco, ela sente uma enorme necessidade de conviver com chineses, por ela própria ter ascendência chinesa. No Macau actual não encontrei esse sentimento, mas a verdade é que, num território tão pequeno como aquele, convivem diariamente nos mesmos espaços, nas mesmas ruas, nos mesmos locais de trabalho, pessoas de nacionalidades muito diferentes que vão desde filipinos, chineses, portugueses, ingleses, tailandeses, etc. Nem todos conseguem comunicar, nomeadamente os chineses que pouco falam inglês. Mais do que convívio, a comunicação do dia a dia - ir às compras, pôr gasolina, jantar fora - é feita por gestos e expressão corporal. Quase parecem aquários, em que cada comunidade vê a outra de fora, tentando entendê-la como o pouco que a visão lhe dá. Numa convivência assim, é natural que existam preconceitos, mas também existe um respeito mútuo. E não são raras as relações amorosas entre pessoas de duas culturas diferentes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;  &lt;b&gt;Actualmente vive em Moçambique (ex-colónia portuguesa). Encontra pontos em comum entre Macau e Moçambique? &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Neste momento vivo em Maputo, Moçambique. Embora ambos tenham um passado ligado a Portugal, a única semelhança que encontro são os nossos vestígios: a arquitectura portuguesa e a gastronomia que se encontra tanto em Moçambique, como em Macau. Mas se Maputo tem avenidas largas e cheias de árvores, em Macau - também devido ao escasso espaço - as ruas são estreitas e sinuosas. E a típica calçada à portuguesa, só em Macau. Em Maputo não existe. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;  &lt;b&gt;Em «Amor no Rio das Pérolas» a Marta explora os amores difíceis. Viveu alguma experiência semelhante?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Confesso que, embora seja uma romântica nata, também sou muito céptica em relação ao amor. O ´foram felizes para sempre´, para mim, não existe. As relações são feitas de altos e baixos, de discussões e de compreensão. Às vezes o amor chega, outras não. Mais do que uma questão de amor difícil, o caso da Vitória e do Francisco é a de um amor que chegou nas vidas erradas. Se o amor não basta, a pessoa que ama também tem de saber - e poder - aceitar o sentimento. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;  &lt;b&gt;Existiu de facto um Francisco e uma Vitória? Ou são personagens ficcionais?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Existiu o filho do comandante Francisco d´Assis e Silva, morto na explosão da fragata d. Maria II, em 1850, ao largo da Ilha da Taipa, pertencente ao território de Macau. O rapaz, menino ainda, ficou órfão e mais a história não diz. A Vitória... acredito que tenham existido muitas Vitórias, largadas na Roda da Santa Casa da Misericórdia. Mas esta é só do «Amor no Rio nas Pérolas». &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;  &lt;b&gt;É uma pessoa romântica?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sem hesitações, sou. O meu filme preferido de todos os tempos é o «E Tudo o Vento Levou» e o Clark Gable era o meu ´príncipe encantado´ quando tinha idade para me dedicar a posters de estrelas de cinema e cantores de rock. Não sou a romântica do pôr-do-sol, nem do anel de noivado com diamantes ou as promessas de amor eterno. Mas sou a romântica do amor que fica indiferente ao passar dos anos, que sabe adaptar-se, do amor que não precisa de deixar a paixão morrer, ou o calafrio desaparecer, do amor que vê os defeitos como características, do amor companheiro e melhor amigo. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;  &lt;b&gt;Está a trabalhar num novo livro?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Estou a pensar num novo livro, a mastigá-lo. Neste momento estou cheia de trabalho e escrever um livro é uma profissão como as outras, só que é uma profissão paralela, que só se exerce à noite, ou de madrugada, nos intervalos entre as 10 ou 12 horas de trabalho. No entanto, escrever dá-me liberdade, energia. As personagens ganham vida, acompanham-me e eu passo os dias a pensar no que elas farão a seguir ou no que nunca fariam porque, simplesmente, não são assim. Não diria que são amigos, porque eu tenho o poder de mandar nelas, mas são partes de mim, personalidades escondidas. Portanto sei que, mesmo tendo uma profissão ´diária´, mais tarde ou mais cedo, voltarei a ter a página branca à minha frente. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;  &lt;b&gt;Pensa ficar por Moçambique ou tem planos de regressar?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Não tenho planos. Neste momento sinto-me bem aqui, gosto do país, da cidade, das pessoas. Mas confesso que, cada vez que visito Portugal, a vontade de ficar também é grande. Viver num país diferente, viajar, tudo isso é bom, faz-me sentir viva, porque sei que aprendo algo de novo todos os dias. Não penso que me fartarei da vida de imigrante, mas acredito que hei-de querer voltar a casa. &lt;!-- infotext1 --&gt;&lt;!--Texto: Sandra Gonçalves--&gt;  &lt;!-- infotext2 --&gt;&lt;br /&gt;       &lt;/p&gt;&lt;table width="100%"&gt;            &lt;/table&gt;                 &lt;p&gt;              &lt;script&gt;    function abrirjanela(theurl)    {       window.open(theurl,'print',"toolbar=no,location=no,directories=no,status=no,menubar=0,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,copyhistory=no,width=615,height=400");    }     function abrirjanelaFriend(theurl)    {       window.open(theurl,'EnviarAmigo',"toolbar=no,location=no,directories=no,status=no,menubar=0,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,copyhistory=no,width=242,height=180");    }  &lt;/script&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12852670-4907115566409368236?l=macaulogia.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://diariodigital.sapo.pt/news.asp?section_id=188&amp;id_news=426399' title='«Amor no Rio das Pérolas», retrato de Macau de dois tempos (Diario Digital)'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://macaulogia.blogspot.com/feeds/4907115566409368236/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=12852670&amp;postID=4907115566409368236&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12852670/posts/default/4907115566409368236'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12852670/posts/default/4907115566409368236'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://macaulogia.blogspot.com/2009/12/amor-no-rio-das-perolas-retrato-de.html' title='«Amor no Rio das Pérolas», retrato de Macau de dois tempos (Diario Digital)'/><author><name>Rogério Miguel Puga</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02984713696911702237</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12852670.post-1865939032112496287</id><published>2009-12-22T03:41:00.001+08:00</published><updated>2009-12-22T03:43:02.323+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Inaugurado o 34º casino de Macau (e mais um de Stanley Ho) (Expresso, 15-12)</title><content type='html'>&lt;h2 class="artigoIntro"&gt;             Chama-se "&lt;b&gt;Oceanus&lt;/b&gt;" e é o 21º casino do império de &lt;b&gt;Stanley Ho&lt;/b&gt;, que, hospitalizado em &lt;b&gt;Hong Kong&lt;/b&gt;, não compareceu.

Em 2003, último ano de regime de monopólio, as receitas haviam sido de 28,6 mil milhões de patacas (um quatro do valor actual).

Todos eles fazem parte da rede da SJM de Stanley Ho. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12852670-1865939032112496287?l=macaulogia.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://aeiou.expresso.pt/inaugurado-o-34-casino-de-macau-e-mais-um-de-stanley-ho=f553140' title='Inaugurado o 34º casino de Macau (e mais um de Stanley Ho) (Expresso, 15-12)'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://macaulogia.blogspot.com/feeds/1865939032112496287/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=12852670&amp;postID=1865939032112496287&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12852670/posts/default/1865939032112496287'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12852670/posts/default/1865939032112496287'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://macaulogia.blogspot.com/2009/12/inaugurado-o-34-casino-de-macau-e-mais.html' title='Inaugurado o 34º casino de Macau (e mais um de Stanley Ho) (Expresso, 15-12)'/><author><name>Rogério Miguel Puga</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02984713696911702237</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12852670.post-9123112148742107684</id><published>2009-12-22T03:39:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2009-12-22T03:41:34.976+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Jornalista lança livro sobre relações luso-chinesas (sapo.pt/Lusa, 14-12)</title><content type='html'>Quatro dias antes do fim do mandato de Edmund Ho, na chefia do Executivo de Macau, é lançada, em Lisboa, uma obra sobre as relações entre Portugal e a China, compilada pelo jornalista Mário Miranda. &lt;p&gt;Com cerca de 300 páginas, apresentadas em português e em chinês, o livro reúne fotografias, documentos históricos e entrevistas que relatam a história da Liga Multissecular Amizade Portugal-China, que visa estreitar as relações entre os dois países.&lt;/p&gt;

"As relações entre a China e Portugal entraram um uma nova fase com a transferência do poder de Macau", afirmou o embaixador. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ele também acredita que Macau deve manter a prosperidade e o crescimento, continuando a desempenhar o papel de ponte de ligação entre a China e países lusófonos. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12852670-8976395725316740633?l=macaulogia.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://portuguese.cri.cn/561/2009/12/14/1s116327.htm' title='Embaixador português elogia a evolução de Macau nos últimos 10 anos (CRI online, 14-12)'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://macaulogia.blogspot.com/feeds/8976395725316740633/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=12852670&amp;postID=8976395725316740633&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12852670/posts/default/8976395725316740633'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12852670/posts/default/8976395725316740633'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://macaulogia.blogspot.com/2009/12/embaixador-portugues-elogia-evolucao-de.html' title='Embaixador português elogia a evolução de Macau nos últimos 10 anos (CRI online, 14-12)'/><author><name>Rogério Miguel Puga</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02984713696911702237</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
