Title
Olympiad, A Place of Linguistic Struggle – The Discursive Constitution of ‘Human Rights’ in the 2008 Beijing Olympics

Abstract
This paper investigates the Beijing Olympics as an event that incited people in the contemporary international community to talk about ‘human rights’, and to engage in the discursive proliferation of human rights. China experienced three waves of this discursive proliferation of human rights in 2008: firstly, through anger at foreigners over Tibet and the torch relay; secondly, in grief after the Sichuan earthquake, and thirdly, in pride at the successful games. Certain conceptions of human rights were brought to the fore during these three periods of time. This paper aims to study the competing discourses over human rights among different political forces, i.e. international human rights groups, pro-Tibetan Independence groups, and the Chinese government. All of them speak, or appear to be speaking, of one and the same thing: the ‘human rights’. Things being said in turn underpin the production of particular conceptions of ‘human rights’.

Title
Rethinking about representation of ethnic minority in modern Chinese society: With a focus on the self governing dominion of Korean Chinese現代中国社会における少数民族像の再考 ―中国朝鮮族自治州の事例から

Abstract
Now, the self governing dominion of Korean Chinese faces the turning point as well as other areas governed by ethnic minorities in China. Protection of ethnic cultures in law, policies of reforming and opening to outside world, and labor outcasts to cities and South Korea, decreasing the rate of population from the late of 1980’s to 90s. These situations have accelerated economic, cultural, and political actions connected to folk customs of Korean Chinese, organized various NPOs to spread and develop them, to recover from this crisis surrounded them. This presentation focuses on examples of a NPO group founded by a Korean entrepreneur and its team for creating media. Finally, another representation of ethnic minority of Korean Chinese in Chinese society is purposed to be different from the form of “crush and resistance”, through explaining mutual relationship between ruler discourses among the ethnic group and daily actions to build their lives.
