During the past few years, we have seen a rise in the
intensity, focus and scope of youth activism in East
Asia. In the rhetorical context of "Arab Spring" and
Occupy, these events in Asia have brought a wave of
optimism and engagement, leading both activists and
theorists to compare across national boundaries. We see
shared issue emphasis on democracy, representational
government, and pacifism.The street protests have
become a media spectacle sometimes the world over. We
see similar organizational structures, performative
repertoires and social media strategies. On the other
hand, they…

Book Description
Japan is still coming to terms with the 'triple
disaster' of 2011 – earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear
meltdown. Only two decades ago, the country was
similarly shaken by the 'double disaster' of earthquake
and sarin gas attack in 1995. What can we learn about
Japan through the diverse responses to these two
critical moments in postwar history when a 'normal'
sense of stability and existing social order was
severely un…

Networks of Political Possibility
―Post 3.11 Social Movements and Political Activism ―

DATE AND PLACE
Wednesday, November 25 from 6:30-8:00 p.m. at Akamon S
ōgō Kenkyūtō Room 549, Institute of Social Science,
University of Tokyo, Hongo Campus, University of Tokyo


ABSTRACT
In the years since 3.11, we have seen many different
sorts of activism, some of which rise to the level of a
social movement, others not so much. This talk is a
first attempt to identify the characteristics of these
movements, in terms of their institutional connections,
rhetorical focus, performative repertoires and
relations with both mass and social media. We will ask
not only what distinguishes activism today from that
before 3.11, but also how it might allow us to re-think
our understanding of changes in civil society.

What has Karoshi got to do with Fukushima disaster?

Rika Morioka (Myanmar Partners in Policy and Research)

November 11th, 2015: 18:30-20:00
Sophia University, Yotsuya Campus, bldg. 10, room 301

This talk explores the culture of overworking manifested in the phenomenon of karoshi and its link to the gender differences observed in the perceptions of health risk of radiation in the aftermath of the Fukushima nuclear disaster.  The author argues that in contrast to young mothers who expressed their concerns towards the health risks of radiation exposure, fathers who were working for dominant institutions were uninterested in the health effects of the radiation.  The talk examines Japanese masculinity rooted in work and breadwinning role in the family and the economic interests of the nation state that impacted the national response to the nuclear disaster in Fukushima.

Rika Morioka is a Ph.D. Sociologist in Medica…
