Magical Macao.

The 2014 conference in this series took place in the remote and windswept islands of Shetland, Scotland. The 2015 conference moves across the globe to the tropical island city-state of Macao, a special administrative region of China and the most densely populated territory on Earth (nearly 600,000 people in just 30 km²).

On 23-25 March, delegates will speak with local tradition bearers in Macao and visit sites of legendary and religious significance. The Historic Centre of Macao World Heritage Site – a living mix of Chinese and Portuguese colonial cultural influences – is home to numerous Catholic, Taoist, and Buddhist shrines, churches, and temples. Yet move away from central Macao’s busy markets and winding alleys, and you will come to temples of capital and consumerism: for Macao – called the ‘Las Vegas of the East’ – is also the site of some of the world’s largest and most glamorous casinos, where tourists engage in different traditions of the supernatural.

On 26-27 March, delegates will have the chance to give academic presentations in association with the conference The Supernatural in Literature and Film. Presentations will be hosted at the Institute for Tourism Studies.

On 28 March, delegates can participate in a post-conference tour of beautiful Coloane Island, Macao.

Attendance at the conference is open to all interested individuals.

For details, please visit admission webpage http://www.ift.edu.mo/EN/Exam/Home/Index/779.
