Title: ‘Human Rights' in Japan: the discourse of Buraku liberation from the 1920s to the 1990s
Speaker: Prof. Ian Neary (Oxford University)
Date: June 1, 2010 (Tuesday)
Time: 14:00-15:00
Place: Room 201, Honkan
Synopsis:
Ideas of rights and human rights did not simply arrive in Japan following the democratising policies of the US occupation 1945-52 but have a history that precedes those reforms. On the other hand the firm commitment to rights in the 1947 constitution did not result in the unproblematic acceptance in theory or practice of these ideas across Japanese social and political life. In this paper I want to briefly trace some evidence of the presence of human rights ideas in Japan
from the late C19th century to the 1930s focusing in particular on the emergence of these ideas – or at least words – in the campaigns of the movement opposing status discrimination. The second half of the paper then considers some evidence
of the acceptance of rights ideas in the period 1945-55 but argues that they disappear from view both within state and the movement’s discourse only to re- emerge in the 1990s.

"Regenerating China: Stem Cell Politics in Transition"
Stem cell research brings opportunities for the states to become bio-medical players at the international arena, but at the same time poses challenges for them to govern the field. On March 2, 2009, the Ministry of Health, PRC issued the Regulations of Clinical Application of Medical Technology and defined stem cell application as medical technology, which ended the lengthy negotiation and discussion of stem cell politics between different regulatory regimes. By presenting two case studies from China, I will show how two major poles of conducting stem cell science medical applications emerge as a new biopolitical field. I argue that biopolitics in China is not a “Wild East” type of politics, but rathe reflects individualized regulatory strategies by different stakeholders.
