Thich his proposal is based on a two years’ cooperation between a group of German and Taiwanese historians of science and medicine, whose common interest is the history of materialities, material culture and the interlacing of material and epistemic cultures. For the future, we hope to include a small number of colleagues from other countries, if their research topics are in relationship with the group’s research focus. We will work on topics that link our countries‘/continents‘ histories by combining a small number of case studies with a continuing discussion in the network. These discussions will provide the basis for a deeper reflection on historiographical methodologies at the intersection of East Asian and European history of medical culture with a special emphasis on materialities. Out of the four thematic fields which we have elaborated so far, we have chosen two for the next three years‘ collaboration. We have identified two case studies, around which we will arrange workshop meetings and scholars‘ exchange in addition to the necessary stays in libaries and archives of our countries. The case studies are located at the intersection of the history of medicinal substances and the formations/transformations of health care policies. We propose two historical cases studies: a) „Between Social Medicine and Parasitology: Flukes, Worm Eggs and Mites in Discourses and Practices of Tropical Medicine in Southern China and Taiwan (1860s – 1910s)”, to be undertaken by a German postdoc, and b) a research project on the European-Asian travels of exemplary medicinal substances, to be undertaken by German and Taiwanese researchers. Both case studies will depend on the collaboration of German and Taiwanese colleagues on site, since some of the archival sources located in Taiwan are in German, some in English, Japanese or Chinese, and the ways that substances from East Asia took to Europe and back can be traced in archival and published sources written in German (and other European languages). The best way to understand the flow of information (also of non-information), matters and practical knowledge, is to approach the topic in mixed teams. For these reasons, apart from the two single projects, the project’s work will consist of a series of workshops, to be held alternately in Germany and Taiwan, and of long-term visits of researchers from Taiwan. The Taiwanese side will provide matching opportunities for German researchers.

他的建议是基于一群德国和台湾科学史学家和医学史学家之间两年的合作，他们的共同兴趣是物质史、物质文化以及物质文化和认识文化的交织。今后，如果其他国家的同事的研究课题与本小组的研究重点有关，我们希望吸收他们。我们将通过将少量案例研究与网络中的持续讨论相结合，研究将我们国家/大陆的历史联系起来的主题。这些讨论将为在东亚和欧洲医学文化史的交叉点上更深入地反思史学方法提供基础，特别强调物质性。在我们迄今所阐述的四个专题领域中，我们选择了两个领域作为今后三年的合作领域。我们已经确定了两个案例研究，除了在我们国家的图书馆和档案馆进行必要的停留外，我们还将围绕这两个案例研究安排研讨会和学者交流。案例研究位于药用物质的历史和医疗保健政策的形成/转变的交叉点。我们提出两个历史案例研究：a）“社会医学和寄生虫学之间：中国南方和台湾热带医学的话语和实践中的吸虫，虫卵和螨（19世纪60年代至1910年代）”，将由德国博士后承担，和B）一个关于欧洲-亚洲旅行的研究项目，由德国和台湾研究人员承担。这两个案例研究将取决于德国和台湾同事在现场的合作，因为位于台湾的一些档案来源是德语，一些是英语，日语或中文，东亚物质带到欧洲和返回的方式可以在德语（和其他欧洲语言）的档案和出版物中找到。了解信息流（也包括非信息流）、事项和实践知识的最佳方式是在混合团队中处理该主题。因此，除了这两个单一的项目外，该项目的工作将包括在德国和台湾轮流举行的一系列研讨会，以及台湾研究人员的长期访问。台湾方面将为德国研究人员提供匹配机会。
