SUMMARY:CeMEAS: The 15th Göttingen East Asia Research Salon: Closer to the self while far from home: A longitudinal study about the experiences of students from People’s Republic of China in Germany
DESCRIPTION:Please RSVP for the event via Ms Kara Blumenthal at assist@cemeas.uni-goettingen.de. \nPresenter:\nLili Jiang (University of Göttingen\, Department of East Asian Studies)\n\nCommentators:\nDr. Jesús Pineda (Scientific coordinator and researcher\, German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD)\nDr. Sascha Klotzbücher (Acting Chair\, Society and Economy of China\, University of Göttingen) \nTime: Tuesday\, 07.07.2020\, 6 pm (c.t.) – 7:30 pm\nVenue: Online via Zoom \nAbstract:\nThis dissertation explores the changes in Chinese master students’ identity and their sense of belonging during the years of their stay in Germany. The main purpose is to understand how they perceive their attachment to China politically\, culturally and ethnically and how the perception gradually changed after their experiences in Germany\, where they have learnt and developed different strategies to negotiate their identity and belonging. The study applies a combination of longitudinal method and the method of the biographical narrative interview which tracks 25 Chinese students’ lived experiences and processes of their change from their first semester until after they graduate from Germany\, in order to capture critical moments of their transitions. The dissertation provides longitudinal evidence to reveal the complex and multilayered nature of the changing progress of these students’ identity and also supports that students’ transcultural experiences in Germany which helped them “unlearn” a normalized concept of “Chineseness” assisted them to go beyond their state-bound national loyalty and postulate a potential transcultural position in today’s world. \nShort Bio:\nI was born in Deyang\, Sichuan and obtained both my bachelor’s and master’s degree at Sichuan University. I studied applied linguistics and bilingual education in Chengdu\, New York\, Uppsala and Goettingen. Before coming to Goettingen for my PhD program\, I taught Chinese to international students at Sichuan University and Southwestern University of Finance and Economics in Chengdu.

SUMMARY:CeMEAS Online Lecture: Affective pedagogic spaces in contemporary China
DESCRIPTION:Lecturer: Gil Hizi (PhD University of Sydney) \nAbstract:\nThrough the influence of psychotherapeutic expertise and popular entertainment\, pedagogic programs for “self-improvement” in China today define positive affect as a key aspect of learning. In this talk\, based on participant observations in the city of Jinan\, I describe how workshops for interpersonal skills produce interactive spaces that spark enthusiasm and optimism in participants. These pedagogies draw on the current primacy of “positive energy” (zheng nengliang) in Chinese education\, media\, and politics. I will discuss how these interactive spaces resemble group interactions from the communist period\, while today positive affect is positioned more as an endpoint in separation from ordinary life and collective enterprises. \nShort bio:\nGil Hizi (PhD University of Sydney) is a Humboldt Postdoctoral Fellow of Anthropology at the University of Cologne. He studies social change in China by focusing on perceptions of personhood and emotions. His main sites of enquiry have been pedagogic practices of self-improvement and psychotherapy. His work has been published in Anthropology and Asian Studies journals. \nZoom Access:\nTopic: Affective Pedagogic Spaces in Contemporary China\, Gil Hizi (PhD University of Sydney)\nTime: 14.Jul.2020 06:00 PM Amsterdam\, Berlin\, Rom\, Stockholm\, Wien\nhttps://uni-goettingen.zoom.us/j/92606540714?pwd=eFFXU3NTZUlNSms3TEJlVklIczJudz09\nMeeting-ID: 926 0654 0714\nPasswort: 505976

SUMMARY:CeMEAS Lecture: Weaponizing medicine: China’s disease prevention and the “military-civil fusion” in medical research
DESCRIPTION:Sascha Klotzbücher (University of Göttingen) \nTime: July 15\, 2020  5pm\nVenue: Zoom-Meeting\nhttps://uni-goettingen.zoom.us/j/93597507671?pwd=S3htRlBNd0RNQVF6Ukw3dlpBSXJEUT09\nMeeting-ID: 935 9750 7671\nPasswort: 404190 \nAbstract:\nSince 2016\, the Chinese Communist Party proclaimed the strategy of “military-civil fusion” of research (Kania 2019) (军民融合). However\, this cooperation between military academies and civil universities or research institutes is not new. This lecture aims to discuss the overseen or hidden link and connection to the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) and its warfare for the institutionalization of disease control in China with case studies from the Korean War to the recent outbreak of Covid-19 epidemics. \nI will discuss two different qualities of this militarization of disease control and medicine: First\, disease control is organized in a procedural logic and along with the script of warfare and it mainly implemented by agents of warfare. The fight against an “American virus” during the Korean War\, the strive to eliminate transmitting animals during several health campaigns\, the SARS in 2003 and Covid-19 epidemics are examples how disease control is organized in the logic of battle when military logistics and organization patterns temporarily take the lead and establish new forms of control and distribution. \nThe second dimension of the militarization of the medical field is how “Military Academies” initiate and supervise joint medical projects with “civil” research institutes and universities. The best-documented example of this military-civic fusion is the noble price laureate Tu Youyou and her involvement in the “Project 523” against malaria in the 1970s. \nToday\, the Communist Party has restructured its science institutions and scientists to explore new forms of warfare with “life-controlling power” (制生权) or brain/ -controlling power” (制脑权). For this aim\, the PLA seeks to integrate certain strategically important scientific disciplines (nanotech\, neuroscience\, genetics\, AI) and their research into its military strategies. However\, in contrast to Tu Youyou’s studies conducted in an exclusive Chinese context\, today’s weaponization of science intends to create research platforms with international scholars for innovation and knowledge transfer of their usable data\, techniques\, and output. I will analyze these mechanisms based on the French-Chinese cooperation in one of the labs of the Wuhan Institute of Virology and the current search for vaccines against Covid-19 in commercial start-ups with a military background. \nShort bio:\nSascha Klotzbücher is the Acting Chair for “Society and Economy of China” at the University of Göttingen. His research interests are health governance and memory of the Cultural Revolution. Related publication to the topic of the talk is the article “’Embedded Research’ in Collaborative Fieldwork” in the Journal of Chinese Current Affairs and his Ph.D. thesis on rural health care in the People’s Republic. His recent publication is a monograph on the transgenerational transmission of the Cultural Revolution in families (Lange Schatten der Kulturrevolution: Eine transgenerationale Perspektive auf Politik und Emotion in der Volksrepublik China“. Psychosozial-Verlag\, 2019). \nIn case you missed our zoom lecture in July\, Sascha Klotzbüchers presentation “Weaponizing medicine: China’s disease prevention and the “military-civil fusion” is now online on youtube.
