  • E-Revista De Estudos Interculturais Do CEI–ISCAP N.º 7, Maio De 2019
    E-revista de estudos interculturais do CEI–ISCAP N.º 7, maio de 2019 MUSLIM WOMEN IN MAINLAND CHINA AND MACAU OLD BARRIERS, NEW SOLUTIONS Joseph Abraham Levi 雷祖善博士1 George Washington University, Estados Unidos [email protected] ABSTRACT: Using as a springboard the wide spectrum of Chinese racial groups and ethno- linguistic, “foreign” (sub)groups residing in the Celestial Empire, this study concentrates on the last one hundred and six years of Chinese history (1912-2018), thus analyzing how some Chinese cities and/or regions, including the Macau Special Administrative Region of the People’s Republic of China, have managed to reconcile past with present, thus transforming once-troubled or troublesome issues, as in the case of Muslim presence within China, into a positive and reinvigorating force. Besides the obvious economic drive, there appears to have been a sincere desire to include and integrate this “foreign” element into the daily life of the new Republic of China 中華民國 Zhōnghuá Mínguó, (1912-1949). Thus, particular attention will be given to the role played by Chinese women within these post-1912, “foreign” communities and, as for 澳門 Macau, the post-1999 handover to China by the Portuguese on December 20, 1999. Though oftentimes considered as mere “consumers” and not “makers;” hence, allegedly not contributing to the overall “welfare” of the Country, Chinese women of “foreign” ethnicity who also happened to be Muslim, were eventually able to show the New Republic that the 女工, nǚ gōng—work done by women, in and outside the household—should instead be considered “productive” and, better yet, it should be seen as a positive sign within the new vision of Chinese nationalism where social class, race, ethnicity, language/dialect, religion, and gender all contributed to the welfare of the Country, or rather, the then-young Republic of China 中華民國, Zhōnghuá Mínguó.

  • Free Trade & Family Values: Kinship Networks and the Culture of Early
    Free Trade & Family Values: Kinship Networks and the Culture of Early American Capitalism Rachel Tamar Van Submitted in partial fulfillment of the Requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2011 © 2011 Rachel Tamar Van All Rights Reserved. ABSTRACT Free Trade & Family Values: Kinship Networks and the Culture of Early American Capitalism Rachel Tamar Van This study examines the international flow of ideas and goods in eighteenth and nineteenth century New England port towns through the experience of a Boston-based commercial network. It traces the evolution of the commercial network established by the intertwined Perkins, Forbes, and Sturgis families of Boston from its foundations in the Atlantic fur trade in the 1740s to the crises of succession in the early 1840s. The allied Perkins firms and families established one of the most successful American trading networks of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries and as such it provides fertile ground for investigating mercantile strategies in early America. An analysis of the Perkins family’s commercial network yields three core insights. First, the Perkinses illuminate the ways in which American mercantile strategies shaped global capitalism. The strategies and practices of American merchants and mariners contributed to a growing international critique of mercantilist principles and chartered trading monopolies. While the Perkinses did not consider themselves “free traders,” British observers did. Their penchant for smuggling and seeking out niches of trade created by competing mercantilist trading companies meant that to critics of British mercantilist policies, American merchants had an unfair advantage that only the liberalization of trade policy could rectify.

  • Exploiting Femininity in a Patriarchal Postfeminist Way: a Visual Content Analysis of Macau’S Tourism Ads
    International Journal of Communication 11(2017), 2624–2646 1932–8036/20170005 Exploiting Femininity in a Patriarchal Postfeminist Way: A Visual Content Analysis of Macau’s Tourism Ads ZHEN SUN Macau University of Science and Technology, Macau This study uses visual content analysis to examine gender images in the tourism print ads of Macau’s casino complexes. It introduces an important tourism destination neglected before by tourism research, which will expand understanding of gender roles and relations involved in the Asian tourism industry, especially that of the Greater China Region. Results show that Macau’s casino complexes are constructed like a multifunctional minicity celebrating consumerism’s desires. The gender representations in tourism ads are confined to the ideological mix of patriarchy and postfeminism. The mixing patterns vary according to contexts. In the context of tourism service, the gender division of labor within the patriarchal structure is usually a reliable predictor of the different working roles of men and women. In the context of tourism consumption, the postfeminist discourse defines the relationships between women and consumption. Femininity is exploited and manipulated to cater to potential tourists, which implies that the patriarchal discourse is persistently entrenched in the advertising production process. Keywords: gender, femininity, tourism advertising, postfeminism, casino complex Gender, as an omnipresent social dimension, defines and structures almost all aspects of the tourism industry (Pritchard, 2001). The gender power relations reflected in tourism construction, presentation, and consumption have been an increasing interest among tourism researchers. Nonetheless, according to an extensive bibliometric analysis of tourism publications in the last four decades, gender inquiries remain a marginalized research area (Figueroa-Domecq, Pritchard, Segovia-Pérez, Morgan, & Villacé-Molinero, 2015).

  • Misadventures in Far Away Places 1
    Misadventures in Far Away Places 1 Misadventures in Far Away Places 2 Misadventures in Far Away Places 3 Misadventures in Far Away Places HONG KONG I’m running down a Hong Kong alley with three hooligans chasing me, yelling for help but nobody understands a word I’m saying. I open a door in the alley and find myself in the kitchen of a restaurant, the cooks and dishwashers with their mouths open, one cook uttering something I can’t comprehend. Then suddenly the guys chasing me burst in – I scramble through the restaurant; glass, soup bowls, and cockroaches flying, people screaming things out in Chinese… That’s when I wake from my dream; legs kicking around, my pillows on the floor. I’ve travelled to many places in my 35 years, but have never been to Asia. In actual fact I had never had any interest – I had always pictured the continent as overpopulated, its cities huge and dirty, its peoples industrious but kind of boring – too polite and always bowing, even if secretly conniving to kill you. I know this from having watched a lot of Jackie Chan movies. Everything seems so foreign to a westerner – just reading the names of places on an Asian map makes my tongue cramp up; Xinzuotang (China), Mahasarakham and Chauyaphum (Thailand), Kuala Kubu Baharu (Malaysia). The map of Hong Kong alone actually sounds like somebody swearing; Pok Fu Lam, Wong Chuk Hang, Chek Lap Kok (“You like I Chek Kok on Lap?) Just the language factor seemed to make Asia an impossible destination.

  • Illiteracy in Macau ’S Women Population and by the Paramount Social and Political Importance of Women-Teachers in the «One Country, Two Systems» Context
    abstracts 251 252 Administração, n.º 23, vol. VII, 1993-1.°, 253-256 Law and justice in a context of cultural pluralism António Manuel Hespanha (pp. 7) Based upon a case study — a case of divorce presented before a portuguese court in Macau in the midle ‘20s —, the article describes the main trends of the evolution of the relationships between chinese population and colonial justice in the 19th and 20th centuries. However, the main aim is to get an insight over the possibilities and limits of an inter-cultural dialogue in the domain of law, namely the law of family, whose institutions are deeply rooted in a cultural background. Issues concerning inheritance law in Macau José Maria Moreira da Silva (pp. 27) The article deals basically with three issues concerning inheritance as it occurs in Macau with regard to existing legislation. The first concerns procedure. In Portugal, there is a measure called a «facultative inventory», which is a special procedure allowing the division of assets amongst adult inheritors when they cannot reach an amicable agreement. In Macau, however, this procedure is almost always used by inheritors when they cannot reach an amicable agreement. In Macau, however, this procedure is almost always used by inheritors even when they agree as to the distribution of assets and there is no discord requiring intervention by the court. Secondly, despite the fact that the equality of male and female inheritors is enshrined in inheritance law both in Macau ’s legislation and in that of the People’s Republic of China, Chinese custom still lingers on in the form of a strong tendency to leave assets to male inheritors regardless of the others.
