Sunflowers and Umbrellas: The Rise of Youth Activism in Taiwan and Hong Kong

Sophia University Institute of Comparative Culture - Lecture Series 2015 Workshop 2 in the ICC Workshop Series on Youth Activism in Post-War Japan Sunflowers and Umbrellas: The Rise of Youth Activism in Taiwan and Hong Kong Kinman Chan, Chinese University of Hong Kong Hwa-Jen Liu, Taiwan National University Moderator: David Slater, Sophia U. Sat December 5th, 2015 Bldg. 10-301 13:00pm-16:00 pm 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.

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

The Contemporary Japan Group at the Institute of Social Science (ISS, or Shaken), University of Tokyo, welcomes you to a lecture by David H. Slater 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. SPEAKER David H. Slater

What has Karoshi got to do with Fukushima disaster?

Sophia University Institute of Comparative Culture Lecture Series 2015 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 M
