鈥淢apping Historical Hong Kong: Digitally Preserving a City鈥檚 Heritage鈥: What new directions do spatial digital tools offer for researching a city鈥檚 history and preserving its heritage? How might these tools be used to streamline access to the historical record at a moment when Hong Kong鈥檚 colonial past is being suppressed? And how, critically, can this research engage historians and the public alike? These questions were at the root of the Mapping Historical Hong Kong (MHHK) project launched in January 2023 in collaboration with the University of Bristol鈥檚 Hong Kong History Centre. Still in its development stages, MHHK uses digital mapping to integrate historical data, visual materials, archival records, and collaborative research initiatives into an intuitive open-access mapping platform that depicts Hong Kong鈥檚 growth between 1841 and 1997. For this ConneXions series presentation, Dr. Tom Larkin will explain the ideas behind this project, introduce the demonstrator platform, and share the future for MHHK in collaboration with researchers from the United Kingdom, Hong Kong, and the 秀色短视频.

The presentation will take place on November 15, 2024, at 2:30 pm, in SDU Main Building, Room 320.

During this gathering, we will discuss Todd May's introduction to the philosophy of Gilles Deleuze. The following is a brief overview of the book:

"This book offers a readable and compelling introduction to the work of one of the twentieth century鈥檚 most important and elusive thinkers. Other books have tried to explain Deleuze in general terms. Todd May organizes his book around a central question at the heart of Deleuze鈥檚 philosophy: how might one live? The author then goes on to explain how Deleuze offers a view of the cosmos as a living thing that provides ways of conducting our lives that we may not have dreamed of. Through this approach, the full range of Deleuze鈥檚 philosophy is covered. Offering a lucid account of a highly technical philosophy, Todd May鈥檚 introduction will be widely read among those in philosophy, political science, cultural studies, and French studies."
