  • Verheißung Unbeschadeten Fortschritts Wird in Der Ideologie Der Kommu- UNIVERSITY PRESS Nistischen Partei Chinas (Kpch) Durchgängig Aufrechterhalten
    Die Verheißung unbeschadeten Fortschritts wird in der Ideologie der Kommu- UNIVERSITY PRESS nistischen Partei Chinas (KPCh) durchgängig aufrechterhalten. Ideologeme bringen die Überzeugung der KPCh zum Ausdruck, dass Entwicklung und Fortschritt unter ihrer Lenkung plan- und durchführbar sind, Entwicklungsziele somit erreichbar werden und zukünftiger Fortschritt generiert werden kann. Ideologeme werden als Legitimationsinstrumente eingesetzt, die sowohl eine konkrete Handlung oder Aufforderung beinhalten, wie Ziele erreicht werden können, als auch auf der Überzeugung basieren, dass der Entwicklungsweg der VR China sowie der angestrebte Fortschritt richtig sind. Sie wirken sinn- stiftend in den jeweiligen Kontext hinein und ermöglichen, dass auch über die Äußerungen der Partei hinaus deren ideologische Inhalte Kontinuität behalten. Herausforderungen wie die Realisierung planungsintensiver Großprojekte mit weitreichenden wirtschaftlichen, ökologischen und sozialen Auswirkungen, z.B. der Bau von Atomkraftwerken oder des Drei-Schluchten-Staudamms, und das Erfordernis einer Auseinandersetzung mit der Nuklearkatastrophe von Fukushima und Naturkatastrophen, wie dem Erdbeben von Wenchuan, bieten Anlass für ein Hinterfragen des von der KPCh propagierten Fortschrittsdenkens. In der vorliegenden Arbeit werden Fortschritts- und Entwicklungsideologeme in der KPCh seit dem Jahr 1949 sowie ihr Aufscheinen in den Fallbeispielen, Diskussion der Atomenergie in der VR China, des Wenchuan-Erdbebens und FAU Studien aus der Philosophischen Fakultät 12 des Drei-Schluchten-Staudamm-Projektes, untersucht.

  • The First “Non-Government” Visiting Scholars Delegate in United States
    English translation of Chinese article published in Science & Culture Review (Beijing), Vol. 7, No. 2 (2010) pp. 84-94 ______________________________________________________________________________________________ The First “Non-Government” Visiting-Scholar Delegation in the United States of America from People’s Republic of China, 1979-1981 Lui Lam Department of Physics, San Jose State University, San Jose, CA 95192-0106, USA In February, 1979, a delegation of eight scientists from the Institute of Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, arrived in Evanston, and became the first group of “non-government” visiting scholars ever set foot in the USA since 1949. This group consists of Qian Yongjia (钱永嘉), LI Tiecheng (李铁成), ZHENG Jiaqi (郑家祺), SHEN Juelian (沈觉涟), WANG Dingsheng (王鼎盛), CHENG Bingying (程丙英), GU Shijie (顾世杰) and LIN Lei (林磊, Lui LAM). Lin stayed for three months while the rest of the group stayed for two years. The work by Lin at Northwestern University was later published in Physical Review Letters, the most prestige physics journal in the world, and became the first paper ever published in this journal by an author from China. Here, the background of the domestic situation in China and the international relationship between China and USA leading to the visit are summarized. The formation of this delegation of visiting scholars is described, followed by the 1979 visit itself. Lastly, the influence of the visit on the careers of the delegates afterwards and on the Chinese reform-opening up movement in general is given. Key words: Institute of Physics, Reform-Opening Up Movement, visiting scholars in USA, Baodiao Movement, Haigui, Physical Review Letters I.

The singer’s success prompted jewellers to produce a bracelet charm representing the artist in the costume pertaining to her role. The jewel was an immediate success. The mascot, which, in its Provencal form, was thought to bring good or bad luck, thus joined the category of lucky charms.” 1 The first Olympic mascot – which was not official – was named “Schuss” and was created for the Olympic Winter Games Grenoble 1968. A little man on skis, half-way between an object and a person, it was the first manifestation of a long line of mascots which would not stop. It was not until the Olympic Summer Games Munich 1972 that the first official Olympic mascot was created. Since then, mascots have become the most popular and memorable ambassadors of the Olympic Games.
