| Summary: | This editorial message by Heidi Ho introduces the inaugural issue of the international edition of the *Review of Culture* (*Revista de Cultura*), marking a significant evolutionary phase for the publication established in 1987. Adopting a bilingual format in Portuguese and English, the new series seeks to enhance the global visibility of Macao Studies and Sinology while fostering intercultural exchange between East and West. The author outlines the journal’s continued commitment to academic rigor and its focus on the "Cultural Encounter" as a central theme.
This specific issue highlights Chinese research on the origins of Macao—a body of work largely unknown in Western scholarship—and contrasts it with established Portuguese and Iberian historiographical perspectives. By juxtaposing these diverse sources and interpretations, the publication aims to reconcile differing historical narratives and move toward a more integrated understanding of the 16th-century Sino-Portuguese encounter. Ho argues that this early interaction, occurring during the Ming dynasty, served as a fundamental precursor to the globalization of knowledge. Ultimately, the message frames the study of history as an ongoing, collaborative project, inviting international dialogue to overcome past misunderstandings and consolidate cultural entente. |
