Event Overview

In this event we purport to examine how disabilities are characterized in the society in which reflexive modernization has been advanced further (i.e., high speed society) by focusing on the changes of the frame of self and body.

We invite Prof. Anthony M. Elliott and Dr. Eric L. Hsu of the Hawke Research Institute at the University of South Australia, who are well-known for social acceleration theory. Prof. Elliott and Dr. Hsu give papers on the latest theory and its implication concerning the above-mentioned theme. Then we do discussion including the floor.
