DESCRIPTION:The Japanese antinuclear movement has traditionally been seen as a classical NIMBY movement with only weak national networks. Several attempts have been made to explain its relative weakness before 2011. In his talk, Tobias Weiss, a postdoctoral researcher with the Institute of Asian and Oriental Studies at the   University of Zurich, will look at a phenomenon, which has not been paid much attention, but has  arguably played a role in weakening the movement: The building of a pronuclear countermovement since the 1980s. This talk will trace its roots and growth to considerable size since the 1990s as well as changes that have taken place in the movement since 2011. \n \nDr. Weiss uses a Bourdieusian framework and argues that these movements have been built up              strategically in social fields where the antinuclear movement was based. To supply the movement with various forms of capital several volunteer and semi-volunteer programs have been established by the nuclear industry and the state.\n\nThis public talk is part of the Center for Japanese Studies Seminar Series, co-sponsored with the Department of Sociology.\n\nThe speaker, Dr. Tobais Weiss, is a postdoctoral researcher at the Institute of Asian and Oriental Studies at the University of Zurich.
