SUMMARY:Dream Island and Sea Forest: The Afterlife of Tokyo's Landfills
DESCRIPTION:Japan has one of the most sophisticated waste managementsystems in the world and its household waste generation\nhas been steadily declining since 2003. However\, before\nthe first national recycling Law was passed in 1991\, the\ncountry stood on the verge of a ‘garbage crisis’ with landfill\nspace around Tokyo quickly reaching the point of absolute\nsaturation. The bulk of the capital’s garbage was landfilled\nin sea\, using special technology. Within a few decades those\nclosed Landfills merged into a cluster of artificial islands in\nthe Tokyo Bay. This talk examines the afterlife of Tokyo’s\nlandfills\, which constitute a tangible reminder of bubble\neconomy\, conspicuous consumption\, and new initiatives\nfor the capital’s revitalization. Yume no shima (The Isle of\nDreams)\, which features in Keiso Hino’s novel with the same\ntitle\, is the oldest among the garbage islands. Umi no Mori\n(The Sea Forest! is one of the youngest\, and a cornerstone\nof Japan’s ambitious green initiative that is part of its ‘Tokyo\nVision 2020’ program. Both islands will serve as the venue of\nthe 2020 Olympic games. \nSponsored by the IHC’s Reinventing Japan RFG\,the East Asia\nCenter\, the Dept. of History\, the Dept. of Anthropology\, and\nthe Dept. of East Asian Languages & Cultural Studies. \nAn anthropologist and historian\, Professor Cwiertka has pioneered the study of food in Japan and Korea of the twentieth century. She is now pursuing a new project on waste management in Asia. The talk draws from this new project.  \nFor more information on Prof. Katarzyna Cwiertka\, click the link below. \nhm 4/17/15
