While Stanley Kubrick brought us to an adventurous but self-reflective space voyage in his movie “2001: A Space Odyssey”, we do the same thing to bring you to a voyage of different spaces in Macao in “2011: A Space Odyssey”.
This Fall issue of Umac Bridges purposely chooses “space” as the central theme. Space can be regarded as a three-dimensional area as large as Macao or as small as our home; space can also be a fluid concept, varying with our perceptions like personal space. Yet, we believe that every space, regardless of the form, can tell us a bit about the world, so we will bring you to different spaces in Macao to understand our beloved city in different angles and perspectives.
Umac Bridges is a campus publication as well as the academic project produced by 4th year English Communication students in the Department of Communication, Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities, University of Macau. Through this publication, students can apply skills of journalism, desktop publishing, web design and event planning and implementation which they have learned throughout the academic years to an actual project. The aim of this publication is to cultivate the sense of news of UM students and call their attention to issues happening around them. The magazine also has an online version which experiments some multimedia news stories.
On behalf of the MadHouse Production, I would like to give special thanks to who have helped in producing this publication and I hope you can enjoy this space odyssey.
