Review of Culture International Edition Issue No. 72 Macao’s Cultural Identity in focus in the latest issue of the Review of Culture

In this issue, the Review of Culture highlights three works that were presented during the 2nd Annual Conference of Macao Studies 2022 organised by the Centre for Macau Studies of the University of Macau. The first two articles, through an analysis of music pieces and cinematographic productions, discuss Macao’s cultural identity before and after the handover and respective changes in the social fabric, respectively. The third article is centred on a colonial feminist theory and on the discourse of women in the 19th century, through an analysis of the first American female missionary visiting Macao.

The following historiography column is dedicated to three research works: from the conquest of Malacca to the beginning of the permanent Portuguese presence in Macao; the rarely-investigated pirates’ Silk Road and its contribution; and the launching of the multilingual bulletin — The Dawn, in the first half of the 20th century in Guangzhou, through the activity of its editor — Tan Malaka.

This issue closes with a study on Eastern spirituality, religious beliefs, and superstitions, through an analysis of Japanese culture.

The Review of Culture, published by the Cultural Affairs Bureau and edited by the Centre for Macau Studies of the University of Macau, adopts peer review process, and calls for the contribution of articles written in Portuguese, English or Chinese.
