Open lecture with Carl Cassegård, Professor of Sociology, University of Gothenburg This talk will discuss the history of environmentalism in Japan from the vantagepoint of three famous protest waves - those centering on the pollution from the Ashio mine more than a century ago, the mercury poisoning of Minamata Bay in postwar Japan, and the 2011 Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster. The talk will highlight how each protest wave impacted on the evolution of Japanese environmentalism, with a particular focus on what happens to a movement in the wake of a protest wave and on how each new protest wave refers back to, reappropriates and thereby keeps alive the legacy of earlier protests.
