u:japan lecture: "Depopulation, property, and land issues: Addressing the akiya mondai in regional Japan" - Niccolo Lollini

From: Ralf Windhab <ralf.windhab@gmail.com>
Date: 2022/10/21

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 hybrid u:japan lecture:

Niccolò Lollini:
"Depopulation, property, and land issues: Addressing the akiya mondai in regional Japan"

Date and time: Thursday, October 27, 2022, 18:30~20:00 (CEST, UTC/GMT +2h)
The Zoom Meeting will be open from 18:15 (CET).
Max. 50 participants (on site) + max. 300 participants (online)

In this hybrid lecture Niccolò Lollini (University of Oxford) explores the causes and the consequences of property abandonment in regional Japan, as well as the paradox of new settlers from the city struggling to find land and houses in depopulating rural areas. Property has long been conceptualized as a bundle of rights, a metaphor pointing to the complexity of ownership and the plurality of stakeholders involved. Only by unravelling this bundle is it possible to make sense of Japan's vacant housing crisis and its paradoxes. Property abandonment is shown to be more than a consequence of depopulation and to largely depend on the institutional and social context surrounding land ownership.

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 50 people.
