MCMC College Macau Culture Series “The Fall of a Port City: Macau’s Other Path to Modernity”
滿珍紀念書院澳門文化系列講座 「一個港口城市的沒落：澳門通往現代化的另一條道路
MCM College is delighted to have invited Professor Sheyla Zandonai from the University of Macau Department of History to give a talk on Macau Culture on 27 March 2024.
During her captivating presentation, Professor Zandonai laid out, in simple terms, the historical development of Macau during the era of the big discovery and China’s development. She also shed light on Macau’s historical transformation during a period when it was losing its prominence as a global trading hub in southern China, following the British takeover of Hong Kong in 1843. Professor Zandonai further analyzed the development of new infrastructure, the preservation of traditional business alternatives, and the adoption of innovative strategies for political and economic survival. These endeavors allowed Macau to postpone abandoning its maritime heritage while simultaneously embracing the rise of new elites and a fresh vision for the city, emphasizing its transition into a more localized and regional economy.
2024年3月27日，我們非常榮幸地邀請到澳門大學歷史系的Sheyla Zandonai教授，在滿珍紀念書院為我們進行關於澳門文化的講座。
在她引人入勝的演講中，Zandonai教授以簡潔明瞭的方式，闡述了澳門在大航海時代和中國發展過程中的歷史發展。同時，她也揭示了澳門在1843年英國接管香港之後逐漸喪失其作為南中國全球貿易樞紐的重要地位的歷史轉變。Zandonai教授進一步分析了新基礎設施的發展、傳統商業替代方案的保護，以及政治和經濟生存的創新策略的採用。這些努力使得澳門能夠延遲放棄其海洋遺產，同時迎接新的精英崛起和對城市的全新願景，強調其轉型為更加本地化和區域化經濟的重要過程。
