SUMMARY:The Chinese Theater in Goettingen (27.03.2020-02.08.2020)
DESCRIPTION:The Chinese Theater in Goettingen is a Chinese-language amateur theater group founded in summer 2019. Most members are Chinese students\, but the group also includes research fellows\, German students learning Chinese language at the University of Goettingen\, and professionals working in the city of Goettingen. Dr. Yumin Ao acts as the coordinator. She is a researcher at the Gobal and Transregional Studies Platform\, and her research interests focus on Chinese drama and cross-cultural theater. A team of volunteers take charge of operation\, dramaturgy\, technique and media of the theater group. Members meet every three weeks to read plays or to make staged readings of plays written by Chinese playwrights\, for instance The Greatest Event in Life\, The Rhinoceros in Love\, and the Comical History of the Life of Dr. Faustus\, etc. \nThe Chinese Theater in Goettingen wants to build friendly and inclusive spaces. Its purpose is to contribute to cross-cultural communication. Through staged readings and performances\, we encourage thinking about “selection bias in life” and “personal development” and to widen our horizons. We also want to rethink cultural identities in the global context. We believe that by expressing our ideas and positions in universal issues we can contribute to clarifying problems of finding one’s identity and can suggest possible solutions. Building up a communicative platform will make different cultures more accessible and asessable. \nTheater Online\nChinese Theater online activities – 在线朗读剧本:  We usually meet online Fridays afternoon from 2PM to 4PM. We read dramas and do some role-play exercises together via WeChat or QQ audio calls.\nWeChat ID: 哥廷根戏剧读演社\nQQ #: 335030419\nE-mail: yumin.ao@phil.uni-goettingen.de\nAll students are warmly welcome to participate in the activities. Anyone who is interested may join us via the above contacts. It’s a great opportunity to practice Chinese language with native speakers.

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.
