Dear SSJ-forum list member,

the Department of East Asian Studies - Japanese Studies at University of Vienna would like to draw your attention to the upcoming *u:japan lecture*:

*Brigitte Steger
**"A hug on trash day: Actualising social order through household waste disposal practices"*

Date and time: Thursday 2021-06-24, *18:30**~**20:00*(CEST, UTC/GMT +2h)
The Zoom Meeting will be open from 18:15 (CEST).

In this virtual lecture, Brigitte Steger (University of Cambridge) analyses notions of cleanliness and the categorisation of household waste and examines how individuals, households and neighbourhoods deal with their rubbish. Steger argues that cleanliness and litter-free streets are not simply a cultural characteristic of Japanese society but the result of everyday practices of waste sorting and disposal that actualise the social order.

This will be a *hybrid event*, both live at the Campus of the University of Vienna and online via Zoom. Live participation is available for a limited number of people, registration is necessary.
