Content
The 5th Nichi-Doku Joint Lecture will be held by Evelyn Schulz who studied at Heidelberg University. Since the 19th century the Japanese society underwent profound changes following the multilayered processes of modernization and globalization.
In this lecture Prof. Schulz will present a variety of these phenomena and will evaluate the potential of the discourse of slowness as part of the theory of modernity as a perspective for answering the question if “Japan is becoming a slow society”.
We expect that the German “Industry 4.0” and the Japanese “Society 5.0” as a response to the 4th industrial revolution are giving an ideal opportunity to rethink the future of societies.
The lecture is free for anyone. We’re looking forward to your participation.
