DESCRIPTION:Join the Department of History and John Leisure\, University of
  Oregon\, for a talk on “Public Housing in Postwar Japan\, 1945-1960."\n
 \nTuesday\, June 3rd\n4:00 pm\nEMU Cedar & Spruce Rooms (231 & 232)\nFree 
 and open to the public. \n\nThis talk examines how large-scale public apar
 tment complexes reshaped the contours of everyday life in Japan after Worl
 d War II. Emerging out of experimental projects in the late 1940s\, public
  apartments—colloquially known as danchi—became visible markers of pos
 twar rehousing and domestic reform. Spurred by government money with strin
 gs attached to design objectives\, these concrete projects touched scores 
 of cities throughout the archipelago. By 1960\, danchi apartments already 
 functioned as residential urban infrastructure operating in a biopolitical
  mode. Danchi housing projects promoted productivist publics\, privatized 
 domestic space\, and rationalized communities in an effort to establish a 
 new postwar paradigm: governance through dwelling. \n\nThe Department of H
 istory Seminar Series runs throughout the academic year and features guest
  speakers from the top universities who share their perspectives on histor
 y. Visit history.uoregon.edu for more information about the seminar se
