    The Globalization of Chinese Food ANTHROPOLOGY OF ASIA SERIES Series Editor: Grant Evans, University ofHong Kong Asia today is one ofthe most dynamic regions ofthe world. The previously predominant image of 'timeless peasants' has given way to the image of fast-paced business people, mass consumerism and high-rise urban conglomerations. Yet much discourse remains entrenched in the polarities of 'East vs. West', 'Tradition vs. Change'. This series hopes to provide a forum for anthropological studies which break with such polarities. It will publish titles dealing with cosmopolitanism, cultural identity, representa­ tions, arts and performance. The complexities of urban Asia, its elites, its political rituals, and its families will also be explored.

  • Culture and Sport
    CULTURE AND SPORT Culture and Sport Culture and Sport Eastern and western cultures have co-existed in Macao for over 400 years. A wide variety of cultural traditions, languages, values, religious beliefs, and customs have all existed side by side and influenced one another. Out of this melting pot, a regional culture unique to Macao has gradually developed into its present richness. Macao’s culture is thus a diverse mixture, with traditional Chinese culture as its heart, and it has assimilated Western, particularly Portuguese, cultural influences in perfect harmony. Following its policy of promoting Chinese culture while preserving the unique pluralistic cultural heritage of Macao, the Government has hosted various cultural and artistic activities invited art troupes from mainland China and overseas, as well as Macao, to perform. These have created opportunities for audiences to learn more about the history, society, and culture of different regions, as well as enhancing cultural exchange and the quality of cultural life of Macao’s residents. Cultural Affairs Bureau The Cultural Affairs Bureau is a Government department that sets out the Government’s key objectives in cultural matters. The bureau is responsible for protecting cultural heritage, giving guidance on aesthetic appreciation, supporting community organisations, nurturing talent in arts and culture, developing local cultural industries, as well as organising cultural entertainment programmes, such as concerts, exhibitions, seminars, music classes, dance, drama courses, Macao International Parade, Macao International Music Festival, Macao Arts Festival, Macao City Fringe Festival, Chinese Culture and Natural Heritage Day, Macao Youth Music Competition and Macao Annual Visual Arts Exhibition. It also provides subsidies for different cultural and art programmes as well as scholarships to support the publication of research and advanced studies about arts.

Kuo Religion and Nationalism in Chinese Societies Edited by Cheng-tian Kuo Religion and Nationalism in Chinese Societies Religion and Nationalism in Chinese Societies Religion and Society in Asia The Religion and Society in Asia series presents state-of-the-art cross-disciplinary academic research on colonial, postcolonial and contemporary entanglements between the socio-political and the religious, including the politics of religion, throughout Asian societies. It thus explores how tenets of faith, ritual practices and religious authorities directly and indirectly impact on local moral geographies, identity politics, political parties, civil society organizations, economic interests, and the law. It brings into view how tenets of faith, ritual practices and religious authorities are in turn configured according to socio-political, economic as well as security interests. The series provides brand new comparative material on how notions of self and other as well as justice and the commonweal have been predicated upon ‘the religious’ in Asia since the colonial/imperialist period until today.

  • Macau Travel Guide
    Macau travel guide Macau is a tiny island in southeast China located an hour’s boat ride from Hong Kong. It is a Special Administrative Region governed under the ‘one country, two systems’ policy of the People’s Republic of China. The Portuguese colony is a unique fusion of East and West, with its cobbled streets, baroque architecture and traditional food and wine. The historic centre of Macau is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, yet this modern Chinese metropolis is now a self-styled Vegas of the East, with its mega casinos and hotels helping to propel its tourism and economy. When to go? Macau’s subtropical climate has cool dry winters and hot wet summers. Temperatures drop as low as 10°C during winter (Jan-Feb) and rise to 35°C during summer (Jul-Aug). Visitors getting to Macau during the summer months of July and September should be aware that there is a risk of typhoons. The best time to visit Macau is from October to December, when the weather is cool and less humid. Getting there By air Air Macau is the national carrier that gets into Macau International Airport. Regional airlines getting to Macau fly from cities like Seoul, Bangkok, Jakarta and Kuala Lumpur. Sky Shuttle also run frequent 16-minute helicopter rides between Macau and Hong Kong but are expensive. By ferry Getting to Macau by ferry is possible from Shenzhen and Hong Kong. Popular routes from Shekou (80 minutes) and Wanzai (30 minutes) arrive at Macau Ferry Terminal. Ferries and high speed catamarans from Hong Kong (1 hour) operate almost 24 hours.
