Date: December 4, 2008 (Thu)
Place: Meeting Room#2, Suekawa Memorial Hall, Ritsumeikan University
Time: 4:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.
◆Lecturer: Frédéric Keck
Researcher at the Groupe de Sociologie Politique et Morale (CNRS/EHESS) in Paris and Visiting Resarcher at the French Centre for Research on Contemporary China (CEFC)
◆Biography
Frédéric Keck has been trained in philosophy and anthropology at the Ecole Normale Supérieure (Paris) and at the University of California (Berkeley). After his thesis on the works of Lévy-Bruhl and Lévi-Strauss, he has started at the CNRS a comparative project on the surveillance of bird flu in France and China. He is currently Visiting Scholar at the CEFC and at the Pasteur Research Center (HKU).
◆Abstract
Hong Kong prepares itself to a Bird Flu pandemic, and every poultry infected in Guangdong is scrutinized with attention, as officials fear a mutation of the virus to an inter-human transmissible form. The experience of SARS in 2003 was formative of a Public Health mobilization, implying all actors of laboratories, hospitals, police force and airport companies. But Hong Kong also has an experience of Bird Flu, with its lot of cullings, closing of bird markets, and reorganization of the poultry business, since the apparition in 1997 on its territory of what is today considered as a global threat, the H5N1 Highly-Pathogenic Avian Influenza. This conference will examine the interrelations between these two crises, one affecting strikingly humans and the other touching persistently animals. It will also point to the reconfigurations of the links between Hong Kong and Guangdong, based on mistrust on the quality of information shared and necessary economic and sanitary.

MURAKAMI Katsutaro (Movie Director & Shooting)
SHIMODA Takakiyo (Production Assistant）
◆Host:HOTTA Yoshitaro (Post Doctoral Fellow, Japan Society for the Promotion of Science)
◆Purpose of this Event
The movie "Konchikusho: Pioneers of Movements of Independent Life by People with Disabilities" was screened throughout the nation from 2007 through 2008.
This movie is an actuality film in which Mr. Toshihisa Fukunaga focused on pioneers of the independent life (i.e., Hiroko Kimura, Masayuki Tanabe & Hiroshi Yokota) and edited with the staff. Even now, people with disabilities are planning to have screening or symposium about this movie.
As you can see from the movie called "Sayonara CP", the role of self-expression of disabilities by people with disabilities in movements by people with disabilities has not been very minor. For example, it has been regarded as an important way to face "a delusion of normal people" (i.e., the value that ranks the bodies of normal people and people with disabilities by their capability). Also, it has functioned as a medium in which it builds links with people with disabilities throughout the nation and encourages them to have the independent life. We can say that these are also the movements that their lives are not controlled by the normal society but organize conditions so that people with disabilities control their lives by themselves.
This movie provides us with opportunities 1) to consider ambiguity of existence of discrimination as a result of social tolerence to people with disabilities from people with disabilities of the new generation and 2) to succeed the heritage of old heros from people who were in charge of movements by people with disabilities. Of course this event must provide us with different contexts from the past screening. The purpose of this workshop is to invite the staffs of "Konchikusho" and consider coming challenges from the standpoint of "disability studies".

*February 17 & 18, 2008 (Sun & Mon) International Symposium
Identity and Alterity in Multiculturalism
and Social Justice: "Conflicts", "Identity",
"Alterity", "Solutions?"
Soshikan Conference Room, 1st floor, Ritsumeikan University, Kinugasa Campus
The goal of this symposium is to study the way in which issues of
identity and alterity affect and challenge our understanding of
questions related to multiculturalism and social justice. The meeting
will open by a key-note address on alterity and close with an invited
conference on identity. All other papers will be chosen from
submissions in one of four areas: "conflicts", "identity", "alterity",
and "solutions?"
Each of these issues should be understood in a wide sense. Conflicts
need not be violent, neither "identity" nor "alterity" need to be
reduced to questions pertaining to culture, differences related to
issues of health or age are also welcome, finally the question mark in
the section "solutions?" is important, suggesting that what is of
interests are not only particular solutions, but also in some cases the
absence of solution or the way solutions tend to be formulated. Three
papers will be accepted in each sub-section and they will be followed
by a response from a commentator.

◆Purpose of This Event
Recently various kinds of tools for text mining have been developed. Many of them extract its characteristics by treating target language data in quantity.
This kind of analysis may sound odd viewed from researchers who stand in the position of qualitative research. However, This way of analysis questions what analysis
qualitative analysis has conducted and moreover, in the future there is a possibility for developing a tool that is close to analysis protocol of qualitative research.
In this event, we will examine the value of text mining tools based on research at this point and if there is any room for development, what kinds of elements are necessary
in order to be valuable for qualitative researchers. We hope you will understand qualitative research through these conversations.

◆Purpose of This Event
The purpose of this event is to make information packet so that people who need such things as knowledge or fabrication technology on communication auxiliary components for people with disabilities relating to body functions for communication to can share.
Previously skilled people uniquely made connection (switches) between bodies and machines, but as a result, knowledge and technology have been eccentrically-located and it is difficult to meet the needs of people who do not have skilled assistants around.
It is also necessary to make the knowledge keep/develop.
For these reasons, we hosted this plan.

Ars Vivendi:
Graduate School of Core Ethics and Frontier Sciences and Ars Vivendi 2008 in Tokyo
Ritsumeikan Tokyo Campus January 11, 2008 From 6:00 to 9:00 p.m.
Peoples' life is marked by various forms of bodily differences and changes that they experience throughout their existence. It is an important moment of solidarity and gift of people and the same time is made the reason of antagonism. And it is difficulty of individual and is said risk and crisis of society. So it is an essential part that makes and changes people and society. The purpose of our proposed COE is to create a new study that we propose to name "Ars Vivendi: Forms of Human Life and Survival".
Disciplines such as medicine and social welfare study these differences and changes, however they only see what they want to see. In fact there happen much more things in a person's relation to his or her body than what these studies can cover. These phenomena which are in excess of what is studied by classical disciplines, we strongly believe, should be begun studying afresh. Under our proposed COE program, we will inquire into 4 domains: "disability", "aging", "disease" and "difference", accumulate information on these 4 domains, pursue research in each one, reorganize studies. What we mean by "reorganize studies" is that we will reorganize existing knowledge in the light of new studies. We are confident that through doing this we will succeed in producing researches that have depth and broad scope. We will then distribute our results as broadly as possible.
We welcome those who would like to know about, or be involved in "Ars Vivendi".
