SUMMARY:Dai-Oji : The Oji Paper Company and Japan's Pulp Pipelines in Asi

DESCRIPTION:This talk explores the tangled histories of green imperialism
  and green capitalism in Asia through the lens of a Japanese corporation
 : the Oji Paper Company\, historically one of the largest corporate cons
 umers of Asia's forests. For well over a century\, Oji has stood at the 
 forefront of Japan's control of woodlands across the Pacific Rim\, wheth
 er as part of the colonial empire before 1945 or in the tropical forests
  of Southeast Asia thereafter. In the process\, the conglomerate has sup
 plied Japan\, a country long celebrated for its vibrant print culture\, 
 with the bulk of its pulp products\, from newsprint to magazines\, cardb
 oard to diapers. This project traces these and other pulp products back 
 to their sources\, revealing the deep historical roots beneath contempor
 ary issues of environmental justice\, indigenous rights\, and plantation
  forestry in Asia.\n\nThis is David Fedman's keynote talk as CIDRAL Visi
 ting Fellow (2022-2023) and forms parts of CIDRAL's series of events on 
 the theme of Forests.\n\nDavid is Associate Professor of History at the 
 University of California\, Irvine.
