Buchlesung mit Klaus Neumann
Am 06. Mai findet die Buchlesung von Klaus Neumann "Blumen und Brandsätze" im Buchladen Eulenspiegel (Hagenbruchstr. 7, 33602 Bielefeld) stattt. Der Eintritt ist frei. Es wird um eine rechtzeitige Reservierung gebeten.
In seinem Buch untersucht der Historiker die unterschiedlichen Motivationen, Schutz zu gewähren oder Schutzsuchende abzuweisen. Im Mittelpunkt seiner Betrachtung stehen dabei lokale und lokalpolitische Auseinandersetzungen: Im Westen Hamburgs und im südöstlichen Sachsen. Er macht anschaulich, wie sehr Aushandlungsprozesse um die lokale Aufnahme von DDR-Übersiedler*innen und Asylsuchenden, Aussiedler*innen und Kriegsgeflüchteten verquickt waren mit Debatten über Rassismus und Rechtsextremismus, demokratische Teilhabe sowie west- und ostdeutsche Identitäten.
Im Gespräch mit dem Autor soll im Rahmen der Veranstaltung versucht werden auch die Verhältnisse in Bielefeld in den Blick zu nehmen und somit einen lokalen Bezug der Untersuchung herzustellen.

Documentary Screening: ‘And Miles to Go Before I Sleep’
On October 10th he Understanding Asia Colloquium Series continues with th screening of the documentary `And Miles to Go Before I Sleep´. It will take place from 16 to 18 in X-E-0-226 and can also be joined via Zoom. For registration click here.
Nguyen Quoc Phi was an undocumented migrant worker, or a ‘runaway’, in northern Taiwan before he was shot nine times by the police and left unattended by the paramedics on 31 August 2017. What made him ‘run away’ from his factory work? How did he find jobs in various construction sites? Why did he start taking drugs? Was he an imperfect victim? These are straightforward questions leading to complicated answers. The award-winning documentary And Miles to Go before I Sleep brings to the fore the nakedness of discrimination and the challenges to humanity if we choose to be bystanders indifferent to inequality and injustice.
The content of the documentary includes violent scenes, and the topics under discussion may be stressful for some viewers.
Film length: 90 Minutes
Q&A and Knowledge Co-Production Activity: 30 Minutes
