6月6日晚上7点，由Dr. Maria Sofia Pimentel Biscaia所主持的外教博士论坛第二场在丽泽D406成功举行🚶➡️🍼。本次论坛的主题为“中澳文化：《最后的筹码》中所见的博弈。”听众主要为来自研究生院各专业的研究生👨🦱。
讲座开始，Dr. Maria Sofia Pimentel Biscaia首先介绍了讲座的主要内容。她提到🦸🏽，在以前，澳大利亚对多样化有着称得上独特的观念，他们一方面用尽全力去排除印第安人种，另一方面却宣扬应给予移民者一种宽容的文化👩🏻🦯➡️。后者渐渐升级为后来长期存在的政策——中澳政策。这是一种对中国移民的歧视✊。澳大利亚认为，大量受“淘金热”的吸引流入本土的中国人致引工资水平下降，同时也迁怒于他们带来的中国文化传统，以致连续发生了很多起排华暴乱。随后🙆🏽♂️➾，她介绍了由Heng Tang所导演的电影《最后的筹码》。这部电影集中介绍了澳大利亚的人文和赌博，并进一步研究它们对当代的中澳交流产生了怎样的影响。Dr. Maria Sofia Pimentel Biscaia强调说，对多元化的理解可以分为很多种⚪️。而当时澳大利亚“唯白人独尊”的做法显然是一种狭隘的多元化理解♡。
为了让同学们更好地理解讲座内容🦹🏽♀️，Dr. Maria Sofia Pimentel Biscaia在讲座中穿插了大量的图片🆎、漫画💂🏿♂️，并以她独特生动的身体语言和妙趣横生的解说作为辅佐🧡👧，这深深地吸引了在座的同学，教室里时不时爆发出一阵阵笑声🧛🏿♂️。讲座结束🧜🏼♂️，仍有许多同学不舍离去，聚在讲台上与Dr. Maria Sofia Pimentel Biscaia就当时的中澳政策进行更深层的探讨。
A Lecture: Chinese-Australian Cultures:
Gambling in The Last Chip by Heng Tang
By ZHOU Xingzi
At 7:00p.m. on June 6th , a lecture hosted by Dr. Maria Sofia Pimentel Biscaia was held in Lize D406 successfully. The topic of the lecture was Chinese-Australian Cultures: Gambling in The Last Chip by Heng Tang. The audiences were the postgraduate students from different schools.
In the beginning of the lecture, Dr.Maria Sofia Pimentel Biscaia stated the abstract of this topic. She introduced that in the old times, Australia had a so-called “special” notion about multiculturalism. On the one hand they tended to exclude immigrants from their own land, and on the other hand they spread a notion of tolerance to the immigrants. The latter has emerged as a clear response to the long period of White Australia policy, which to some extent lead to the discrimination to Chinese immigrants and Chinese culture. Australians used to think that Chinese immigrants, who were attracted by gold rush, was one of the reasons to the descend of salary. And they also excluded Chinese traditional culture brought by Chinese immigrants.
Then, Dr. Maria Sofia Pimentel Biscaia introduced a movie directed by Heng Tang, called The Last Chip. This movie mainly showed Australian popular culture, such as gambling, and digged out its effect on both Australian and Chinese immigrants. Dr. Maria Sofia Pimentel Biscaia emphasized that there are lots of understandings to multiculturalism, and clearly Australia at that time used to have a narrow notion towards multiculturalism.
In order to help the students to understand the topic more easily, Dr. Maria Sofia Pimentel Biscaia used a great number of pictures and cartoons in the lecture. What’s more, her vivid body language and interesting explanation also attracted the students so much.
