This coursework examines the history of Japanese modernity and development by contextualizing it into the global debate on postdevelopment, the Anthropocene, and transition designs. Major objectives are threefold: (1) Critically exemplifying competing social design paradigms (especially state vs people) and related social conflicts in the process of modernization and development; (2) Re-examining alternative development theories that emerged in response to human and ecological disasters; (3) Exploring the diversity of social innovations in contemporary Japan and designing just transition towards a post-growth society.
The coursework is divided into three parts. The first part (Sessions 2 to 5) introduces historical research and examines conflictual nature of Japanese modernization and development by focusing on its human and environmental damages such as industrial pollution and the destruction of commons. The second part (Sessions 6 to 7) discusses alternative development theories that reevaluate the dimensions of ecology and culture and the role of commons and community as opposed to the society of mass consumption. The third part (Sessions 8 to 12) introduces socio-economic crises in the 21st century and explores the diversity of social innovations and policy agendas that support just transition towards post-growth.
Each class consists of a lecture and discussions, with short presentations (based on reading) being included. At the end of the course, it is expected that students are able to find problems and perspectives of Japanese society and to investigate their own research.
