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:

Anna Wiemann:
"How to live with a nuclear disaster on one's farmland: A longitudinal narrative approach to Fukushima Farmers' life experiences"

Date and time: Thursday, December 15, 2022, 18:30~20:00 (CET, UTC/GMT +1h)
The Zoom Meeting will be open from 18:15 (CET).
Max. 50 participants (on site) + max. 300 participants (online, no registration necessary)

Almost twelve years have passed since the Great East Japan Earthquake, tsunami and subsequent nuclear disaster at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant in the little town of Ōkuma located at the coastline of Fukushima prefecture in Northeastern Japan. Researchers today observe a trivialization of the Fukushima disaster queuing in a long line of previous nuclear disasters worldwide. Yet, Fukushima Daiichi continues to emit radioactivity and people living in contaminated areas need to create and recreate their life narratives to deal with the consequences of the ongoing, invisible disaster.
In this hybrid lecture Anna Wiemann (Ludwig-Maximilians-University Munich) analyzes qualitative interviews with farmers in Fukushima prefecture. She questions how this group of people whose livelihoods depend on a contaminated environment understand the disaster and what kind of meaning they attach to it for their lives over the course of the past decade. She also explores possible social frames referred to by the farmers at the point in time when the interviews took place.

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.
