A recent article by PhD graduate Vanessa Amaro and Professor Tim Simpson was promoted in the local news on TDM. The research examines a Macau tourist festival focused on traditional Portuguese culture in the city. The festival used innovative augmented reality games to allow visitors to play with elements of Portuguese history and culture. The article explores how these games allow visitors to construct Macau’s contemporary post-colonial identity.
The article was published in an SSCI Q2 journal ‘Tourist Studies,’ and is titled ‘The Macau arraial: Portuguese heritage, serious games, and postcolonial identity in a Chinese Tourist City.’
