The Changing Credibility of Institutions: How Household Registration Systems (Hukou) in China and Taiwan Define Immigrants Social Benefits
Guest Lecture by Shih-Jiun Shi
Vortrag 02.12.2016, 17:00 Uhr - 19:00 Uhr, Duisburg, Gebäude LE 736, Forsthausweg, Campus Duisburg
Hukou is one of the enduring institutions that defines social citizenship of the residents/immigrants in China. While much discussion focuses on the Chinese case, still little attention is paid to the system in Taiwan, let alone a comparison of the both. This article seeks to enrich the discussion of the two hukou systems in terms of their functions in determining the access of cross-strait immigrants to the social benefits of the respective host countries.

Die Alliance for Research on East Asia Ruhr lädt zur zweiten Veranstaltung der AREA Ruhr Vortragsreihe im Wintersemester 16/17 ein.
Prof. Dr. Jörg Plassen (Ruhr Universität Bochum) hält einen Vortrag zu, Thema Einige Überlegungen zu Nationalstaatlichkeit und Transregionalismus im ostasiatischen Buddhismus.
The Alliance for Research on East Asia (AREA) Ruhr is a new joint research alliance of the Faculty of East Asian Studies, Ruhr University Bochum and the Institute of East Asian Studies (IN-EAST), University of Duisburg-Essen, within the greater University Alliance Ruhr (UA Ruhr).
In this talk, I will argue that the past three decades or so have seen what arguably amounts to the greatest and most dramatic transformation in history, ushering in what I call the Age of Global Modernity. I will also argue that most of the change behind the breakthrough of Global Modernity is spatially concentrated in Asia, especially in East Asia. To substantiate these two claims, I will first present data supporting the notion of the relatively recent onset of the Age of Global Modernity and then show, in a second step, how (East) Asia has contributed to this development. In a third step, I will draw some conclusions as to the likely consequences of the breakthrough of Global Modernity.

Digital Oral Narrative of Political Activism in Japan
Informal Talk by Prof. David Slater, Sophia University, Tokyo
Arbeitskreis 21.12.2016, 12:00 Uhr - 14:00 Uhr, Building LE, Room 736, Forsthausweg 2, Campus Duisburg
In the years since the disasters of March 2011 in Japan, we have seen extensive local activism throughout Tohoku around issues of radiation, and the largest and most spectacular demonstrations in Tokyo since ANPO in the 1960’s and 1970’s.
Youth have been at the center of many of these direct actions, including different 'anti-nuke' groups and more recently, 'anti-war’ groups, and especially SEALDs (Students Emergency Action for Liberal Democracy).
While impressive in both scale and coordination, most of what is happening on the ground does not fit our established models of 'social movement’ as well as being a challenge to more established representations of Japanese civil society. Academics and activists are now trying make sense of this rise of 'non-movement' activism and to chart how a politics of survival in Tohoku become a normative politics of the popular in Tokyo.
