バーバラ・ホルトス副所長ベルリン日独センターインタビューにて東京オリンピックを語る
「日本および東京は、オリンピック・パラリンピック競技大会を通じて多様で、インクルーシブ(包摂的)で、コスモポリタンで(世界に対して開かれていて)、クールで(かっこよくて)、ホスピタリティ(おもてなしの心)に溢れた場として生まれ変わろうとしています。また、福島の原子力災害を「克服済」として提示するよう試みています。2020年東京オリンピック・パラリンピック競技大会は全体として、さまざまな関係者の希望と国際オリンピック委員会(IOC)やスポンサー企業の商業的利害関係を凝縮したプリズムとして機能します。」
バーバラ・ホルトス副所長がベルリン日独センター機関紙 jdzb echoのインタビューに応じ、東京オリンピックと共同編集する出版プロジェクトJapan through the Lens of the Tokyo Olympicsについて語りました。(4月2日にベルリン日独センターで開催される予定だったイベントは延期になりました。)

DIJ Senior Research Fellow awarded prestigious dissertation prize
Harald Kümmerle, senior research fellow at the DIJ since January of this year, has been selected as the recipient of the Johannes Zilkens Dissertation Prize 2020. Every year, the German Academic Scholarship Foundation (Studienstiftung des deutschen Volkes) awards this prize for an outstanding dissertation from the humanities and social sciences. It is endowed with 5,000 euros.
Kümmerle has defended his dissertation on the “Institutionalization of mathematics as a science in Meiji- and Taishō-era Japan” at Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg in January 2019. According to the interdisciplinary jury, it “impressively bridges mathematics, Japanese Studies, and social sciences”. The work gives “important impulses for the advancement of Japanese Studies, and extending beyond this, for the understanding of the development of sites of science and the organization of knowledge transfer”.
