FOCUS ASIA
16-18 APRIL 2007
Focus Asia in April 2007 hosted two workshops.
On 16 and 17 (half day) April a workshop on R&D and technological
change in China was held. Researches from China, the US and Europe
with long-standing expertise in the field were invited. Three panels
focused on (1) China’s R&D capabilities and the country’s strategies on
innovation, (2) the spatial imbalances between China’s science and
technology parks on the one hand and its backward regions on the other
hand and (3) the opportunities and threats for foreign firms that
conduct R&D in China.

On 17 (half day) and 18 April a workshop on the intersections between
desires and violences was held. The purpose of the workshop was to
examine the contingent intersections between symbolic as well as
manifested forms of desires and violences in Asia and at a more general
level. By highlighting the ambiguous, ambivalent, and complex ways in
which desires and/or violences are imbued with local configurations of
masculinities, femininities, sexualities, bodies, and power in an Asian
context, the workshop investigated how intersections between desires and
violences can be studied empirically and analyzed theoretically.
