> Report by Anna Andreeva, Johannes Quack, Dominic Steavu on the conference
> "Frontiers of Knowledge - Health, Environment and the History of Science"
> held from 5 to 7 October 2011.
>
> The Annual Conference of the Cluster of Excellence "Asia and Europe in a
> Global Context" was organised by Prof. Harald Fuess on behalf of research
> area C "Health and Environment".
>
>
> "Frontiers of Knowledge" was the topic of the 2011 Annual Conference of
> the Cluster of Excellence "Asia and Europe in a Global Context" held from
> October 5th to 7th, 2011 at Heidelberg University. The purpose of the
> conference was to explore the fields of Health, Environment and the
> History of Science, while challenging the conventional intellectual
> divisions between Europe and Asia.
>
> In the evening of October 5th, the first keynote speaker, Kaushik Sunder
> Rajan (Chicago), gave a lecture on "Property, Rights and the Constitution
> of Contemporary Indian Biomedicine" marking the opening of the conference.
> He focused on the contested relationship between intellectual property and
> the re-institutionalisation of pharmaceutical development in contemporary
> India. In addition he traced the development of a case of a patent on the
> anti-cancer drug Gleevec.
>
> The first podium discussion, chaired by Joachim Friedrich Quack
> (Heidelberg), took place in the morning of October 6th, 2011, which
> focused on Ancient Medicine. Friedhelm Hoffmann's (Munich) exploration of
> Egyptian medical receipts, dating from the second and early first
> millennia BCE and their relationship to Near-Eastern and Greek medical
> traditions, demonstrated that some basic prescription formulae appear in
> all otherwise divergent medical systems. Examining medical stories,
> medicinal recipes, and amulets from the Hippocratic and Galenic
> traditions, Ann Ellis Hanson (Yale) showed how earlier medical concepts
> from Hippocratic texts were appropriated and amended to fit into later
> medical writings in the Roman and Byzantine Egypt traditions. Continuing
> the theme of transmission, Vivian Nutton (University College London) drew
> attention to issues of translating medical texts and traditions with a
> focus on the re-contextualisation of Galenic medical writings into the
> Syriac and Arabic languages.
>
> The second podium discussion was dedicated to the circulation and
> changing concepts of knowledge, the diverse ways in which knowledge is
> produced, and how it is shared and appropriated in cultural encounters.
> Marta Hanson's (Johns Hopkins University) analysis of the geography of
> diseases in China from the 1870s to the 1920s clearly showed that certain
> concepts of knowledge can be visualised and circulated. On the one hand,
> they help rethink the relationships between the nature of disease and the
> environmental context. On the other hand, they also act as political
> images legitimating colonial control. Dissecting the processes of the
> rapid institutionalisation of science in colonial India, Dhruv Raina
> (Jawaharlal Nehru University) employed the interpretive frames of
> "engraftment" and "entanglement" to investigate the varied uses of
> traditional and modern resources of knowledge in learned communities.
> Likewise, challenging the standard dichotomies between tradition and
> modernity, as well as East as opposed to West, Joachim Kurtz (Heidelberg)
> explored the processes of searching for a new epistemological framework in
> Late Qing China. He presented a case study that focused on the attempts of
> Chinese philosophers to identify new sources of certainty in the face of
> the epistemic ruptures, which, he argued, continue to shape what we now
> understand as Chinese modernity.
>
> The afternoon session was divided into five separate panels. The focus of
> the panel on "Politics, Civil Society and the Environment" was the
> earthquake and subsequent nuclear disaster in north-eastern Japan on March
> 3rd, 2011. It? Kimio (Kyoto) offered a critical perspective on the issues
> that civil society in Japan is currently facing in the wake of the
> Fukushima nuclear plant crisis, as well as matters pertaining to the
> government, media, and nuclear lobby. Focusing on the micro-history of the
> town of Kaminoseki in Yamaguchi prefecture, Martin Dusinberre
> (Newcastle/Heidelberg) demonstrated how nuclear politics at the local
> level came to be dominated by the rhetoric of a "brighter future" in
> post-war Japan. In contrast to this historical approach, Kerstin Cuhls
> (Heidelberg) offered an overview of how governmental research
> organisations in Germany and Japan provide predictions on future trends in
> societal change. Further they mapped out possible preventive measures and
> responses to earthquakes. Following the three papers, Gerrit Jasper Schenk
> (Darmstadt) discussed how such disasters can be properly assessed and
> analysed in the context of cultural histories.
>
> The panel "Between Beauty and Health" focused on the visual itineraries
> of changing bodies in China's transcultural mediascapes during the 1900s
> and 2000s. The speakers Liying Sun, Ulrike Buechsel, Xuelei Huang and
> Barbara Mittler (Heidelberg) illustrated how the changing notions of
> beauty and health are reflected in the visual sources of twentieth-century
> Chinese media, such as pictorials, films, propaganda posters, and
> advertisements. The presentations addressed issues of healthy bodies in
> relation to mediatisation, ideology, consumer culture, transculturality,
> and gender relations. These notions were further problematised by the
> discussants Christiane Brosius, Thomas Maissen, and Katja Patzel-Mattern
> (Heidelberg), who questioned the concepts of cosmopolitanism and
> liberation, Baudrillard's analysis of consumer culture, definitions of
> health, as well as media representations of disability and homosexuals
> from Indian and European perspectives.
>
> The panel "Large Dams", moderated by Thomas Lennartz (Heidelberg),
> examined cases of contested environmental knowledge of riverscapes,
> focusing on the issues of dealing with water flows in India and China.
> Ravi Baghel (Heidelberg) described how rivers in India are seen as
> national entities and supplies of water are to be equally distributed all
> over the country. Alexander Erlewein (Heidelberg) discussed the changing
> perceptions of dams and how, in the context of climate change, they became
> re-evaluated as sources of renewable energy. Miriam Seeger (Heidelberg)
> explored how competing discursive factions include governmental narratives
> and exclude perspectives that take into account the interpretation and
> establishment of environmental knowledge in the contested field involving
> the Nujiang dams in Southwest China. Continuing this theme, Nirmalya
> Choudhury (TU Berlin) analysed how public involvement in the planning of
> large infrastructural projects becomes a slippery ground, where a mismatch
> of expectations on substantial outcomes reduces the legitimacy of the
> exercise, even if the legality of the exercise is fulfilled. The final
> panel discussion included a variety of topics revolving around the
> question how knowledge is integrated, changed, and domesticated in
> different socio-political contexts. Particular attention was paid to the
> socio-cultural impact of dams on local religious practices and the
> political impact of dam building on international relations.
>
> Another afternoon panel, this time with a focus on Japanese religions,
> traced the concepts of space and time in the emerging transcultural
> cosmologies of pre-modern Japan. Dominic Steavu (Heidelberg) investigated
> how Chinese cosmological discourses on the human body were re-appropriated
> and re-contextualised in Buddhist iatromanic rituals. Anna Andreeva
> (Heidelberg) analysed how mountains were conceptualised as cultic centres
> in the ritual activities of ascetics, engaged in mapping out a sacred
> geography of medieval Japan. Finally, Max Moerman (Barnard/Columbia)
> demonstrated how Buddhist notions of space shaped early modern debates on
> astronomy and political geography in Tokugawa, Japan.
>
> "What Can(not) Be Said in Revolutionary Times" was in many ways a panel
> that followed up on key themes from previous Cluster annual conferences,
> devoted to the flows of concepts and institutions in a transcultural
> context. The conversation focused on the borders of and obstacles to the
> aforementioned flows, as well as their relations to shifts in the meaning
> of concepts, such as despotism, democracy and, citizenship. In this
> context, Pascal Firges (Heidelberg) discussed Istanbul during the French
> Revolution, while Birte Hermann (Heidelberg) considered the Tian'anmen
> Square incident of 1989, and Julten Abdelhaim (Heidelberg) reflected on
> the events of 2011's Arab Spring in Egypt. In her summary of the
> presentations, Antje Fl?chter (Heidelberg) pointed out that notions
> pertaining to revolutionary ideology have become globalised to such a
> degree that comparisons to "authentic" European or Western predecessors
> have little relevance. Consequently, traditional analytical frameworks
> require a transcultural or epoch-spanning extension "beyond traditional
> affiliation of citizenship".
>
> The day concluded with the second keynote lecture by Janet Hunter (London
> School of Economics), who spoke about the market collapse and confusion
> that occurred in the aftermath of the Great Kant? Earthquake of 1923. The
> lecture paid close attention to the responses of producers, traders, and
> consumers to the sudden collapse of infrastructure, dislocation of
> institutions, and altered patterns of supply and demand.
>
> The third day of the conference opened with a podium discussion on
> "Seascapes and Shipping" chaired by Harald Fuess (Heidelberg) and
> discussed by Christopher Gerteis (SOAS). In his second conference
> presentation, Martin Dusinberre (Newcastle/Heidelberg) traced the maritime
> routes of a Japanese merchant navy ship, the "Yamashiro-maru", from
> Newcastle to Hawaii between 1884 and 1912. Roland Wenzlhuemer (Heidelberg)
> offered insight into the redaction of ship newspapers and, more generally,
> life aboard the passenger steamers in the 1890s. His paper investigated
> transcultural phenomena in transit, unfolding within port cities or across
> ocean littorals and other liminal zones. Rolf Wippich (Tokyo/Lucerne)
> scrutinised 19th century piracy in Chinese territorial waters and the
> anti-piracy measures taken both by the Chinese authorities and the western
> treaty powers in the context of flourishing international trade, the
> Taiping Rebellion (1852-1864) and the Opium Wars.
>
> The second podium discussion of the day was organised by Cluster scholars
> Sandra B?rnreuther, Sinjini Mukherjee, and William Sax. It critically
> engaged with Kaushik Sunder Rajan's work on the attribution of epistemic
> shifts to different "techno-scientific regimes" and bio-capital. The
> sociologist-cum-anthropologist Aditya Bharadwaj (Edinburgh) presented
> findings from a long-term multi-sited ethnographic study and examined the
> notion of "subject mobility" in pursuit of the clinical application of
> human embryonic stem cells (HESC) in India. This theme was complemented by
> Sandra B?rnreuther's (Heidelberg) introduction of her on-going study on
> in-vitro-fertilisation in India, emphasising the multi-dimensional notion
> of "biovalue". Tsjalling Swierstra (Maastricht) examined the Dutch debate
> on organ transplants, outlining how new technologies shape old moralities
> and produce new moral frameworks, as well as how moralities influence
> technological developments.
>
> The afternoon was divided into four sessions. The first, chaired by
> William Sax (Heidelberg), continued the earlier podium discussion on
> travelling technologies and shifting transculturality. Sinjini Mukherjee
> (Heidelberg) focused on the case of family members donating organs for
> kidney transplants in India. She analysed the ways in which the transplant
> process is gendered and the problematic assessment of "intangible
> willingness" of possible candidates as "informed consent". The discussant
> Kaushik Sunder Rajan presented an elaborate response to all the papers
> highlighting the differences between the approaches of Moral Philosophy,
> Medical Anthropology, and Science and Technology Studies.
>
> The panel "The Many Shapes of the World" discussed concurrent regimes of
> spatial representation in early modern Asia. In their paper "Chinese Sages
> and Dutch Measures", Martin Hoffmann and David Mervart (Heidelberg)
> addressed the diversity of spatial regimes in the writings and maps of the
> Japanese samurai-scholar Nagakubo Sekisui (1717-1801), approaching them
> from the perspective of the Chinese map-making and early modern Japanese
> political geography. Monica Juneja (Heidelberg) explored what she called
> "capricious reversals" of naturalist vision, by looking at pastiche as an
> art form in early modern Europe and Asia. The panel was chaired by Frank
> Gr?ner (Heidelberg) and commented by Dhruv Raina.
>
> The panel succinctly titled "Stress" focused on the anthropological,
> historical and epidemiological approaches to this supposedly modern
> phenomenon. Saskia Rohmer (Heidelberg) offered insight into the historical
> roots of stress as a concept first appearing in Western scientific
> discourse. Reporting on the results of his research, Hasan Ashraf
> (Heidelberg) examined the genesis of stress as an effect the neoliberal
> textile production regime had on the health of garment factory workers in
> Bangladesh, as well as the global roots and socio-cultural implications of
> this phenomenon. Maria Steinisch (Heidelberg) presented the status of a
> new study that considers stress in the ready-made garment industry in
> Bangladesh from an epidemiological perspective. Finally, Adrian Loerbroks
> (Heidelberg) presented a different kind of epidemiological data, this time
> on the variability of the association between stress/mental health and
> respiratory diseases (asthma and COPD) in Europe and Asia.
>
> The last panel of the conference, "Asymmetrical Translations", focused on
> the mind and body in Indian and Western Medicine. William Sax opened this
> panel with an analysis of the activities of Ayurvedic doctors in the
> Malappuram district of Kerala by employing the conceptual framework of
> Bruno Latour, pertaining to the categories of "pre-modern", "non-modern",
> "modernizing" and "hybridity". Johannes Quack (Heidelberg) presented two
> case studies from his ethnographic study of mental health care in India.
> The final day of the annual conference closed with a presentation by
> Ananda Samir Chopra (Heidelberg), who examined translations and
> asymmetries in Ayurvedic nosologies and biomedicine. The three papers
> offered rich perspectives on the conceptual diversity of the Cluster
> project C3 on "Asymmetrical Translations" in the conceptualisations and
> practices of European and Indian medicine.
>
> Bringing together scholars from all over the world, the Annual Conference
> "Frontiers of Knowledge" furthered international exchange on
> health-related, environmental issues, as well as on the history of
> science. In addition to historical issues, such as reassessments of
> Ancient Medicine in Asian and European contexts, the conference also
> traced the development of health- and environment-related conceptions of
> knowledge across time. In this respect, the conference highlighted both
> Asian and European perspectives on, for instance, large environmental
> projects and their political or social implications. Moreover, talks and
> discussions on the transcultural aspects of medical technologies raised
> controversial contemporary issues, such as stem cell research, in-vitro
> fertilisation, and their impact on modern globalised societies. The 2011
> Annual Conference "Frontiers of Knowledge", chaired by Harald Fuess, was
> organised by Research Area C "Health and Environment" of the Cluster of
> Excellence "Asia and Europe in a Global Context"
> (www.asia-europe.uni-heidelberg.de). The Cluster's next Annual Conference
> will take place in October 2012.
