Diarrhea due to digestive organ function and organic lesions in Western medicine such as gastrointestinal disorders, chronic enteritis, diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome, functional diarrhea, acute enteritis, inflammatory bowel disease, malabsorption syndrome, endocrine and metabolic disorders such as hyperthyroidism, diabetes, systemic lupus erythematosus, uremia, tumors and drug-related enteritis can all be treated with reference to this disease syndrome differentiation [1]. Many advances have been made in the study of the law of the disease and the treatment of the syndromes, but there has been no consensus on the diagnosis and treatment of diarrhea in TCM. The Spleen and Stomach Disease Branch of Chinese Society of Traditional Chinese Medicine took the lead in establishing the drafting team of Expert Consensus Opinions on TCM Diagnosis and Treatment of Diarrhea in Hefei in August 2014.

Lockwood Professor in the Humanities Department of Comparative Literature, Cinema and Media The dissertation investigates into the layered narratives of sacrifice and revolutionary martyrdom in Maoist films. Martyr’s death is abstracted and elevated from unpredictable personal event to be a collectively controllable and foreseeable public event. I refer to such ideological control over citizen’s death necropolitics. Maoist necropower interpellates revolutionary subjects, justifies the nation’s secular necropower transmitted from the transcendental ideals, surrogates martyrs bodies and minds to speak for them, and conceals martyr’s marginalized position as the sacrificial object and martyr’s dead body as disposable abject. I argue that the key mechanism of the Maoist necropolitics lies in the absent causes that originate from the transcendental revolutionary ideals. These socialist ideals can never be realized completely and are catachresis that lack sufficient referents. In other words, any socialist ideal essentially stands for a collective historical experience that cannot be fully presented but 3 must be presupposed to regulate personal lived experience.
