Pierre Bourdieu’s theorie over sociaal kapitaal: wat kunnen we leren over de sociale impact en het herstel van ouderen in Japan na rampen zoals de nucleaire ramp van Fukushima?

Bachelor thesis | Japanstudies (BA)

This thesis is about the social recovery of Japanese elderly after disasters, more specifically after the 3.11 disaster. The theory of Pierre Bourdieu was used to analyze the difficulty of elderly to recover on a social level from disasters by looking at the amount of social capital that elderly might have before the disaster and what social capital they could lose as a result of that. It appears that the elderly do not necessarily have more difficulty to recover socially from a disaster because of the amount of social capital they generally possess. This forms a contrast with the general stereotypes of the elderly.
