In response to the explosion of the Fukushima Daiichi power plant
in March 2011, this book examines how the concept of a risk society
was handled in the various education programs implemented in
post-disaster Fukushima. The explosion and subsequent radiation
contamination that affected the biosphere of the Fukushima region
and beyond, revealed that we live in a risk society. Despite this
revelation, official discourses in Fukushima have been geared
strictly toward the future, with the aim of restoring communities
and resuming development projects. Based on the ethnographic data
the author collected in Fukushima between 2013 and 2016, various
contested emotions emerged in those education spaces as students
and teachers remembered their romanticized and difficult past and
dealt with the challenges presented by the risk society in their
present lives. The emotionally-charged interactions between past
and present also shaped their vision of their future community and
of the actions they might take. The dialogues and actions that took
places in these education spaces encourage readers to examine the
meaning of development and question the basic assumptions and
methods of education as society shifts to a risk society. A
valuable resource for scholars and students in the fields of
globalization and education, curriculum studies, sociology of
education, and Japanese studies.
