Using the notion of wind’s “entangling materiality”—its fluidity and its capacities to connect with others and act on others—this article examines how and why the local wind played a pivotal role in people deciding not to invest in wind power. It demonstrates that the locals doubted the value and viability of wind power as a green commodity, as they believed that the winds that shape and carry xianyu (salty rain, a combination of salt and seawater droplets) would damage the productivity of wind turbines by causing corrosion and breakdown. This article therefore argues that wind operates as an ambivalent infrastructure that simultaneously allows and prevents the proper functioning of wind turbines while rendering workable and unworkable capitalist expectations for wind power. It thus contributes to rethinking our understanding of nature as infrastructure and places the wind and what it does at center stage in the social analysis of wind power, a place that land and territorialization issues have occupied.","PeriodicalId":34948,"journal":{"name":"Asian anthropology","volume":"21 1","pages":"81 - 99"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47206046","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Funded by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications, this program started in 2009 and has been highly popular with urbanites. Participants have a one- to three-year period to engage in activities in cooperation with the local government that promote rural revitalization and create a niche livelihood for themselves in structurally disadvantaged areas. Drawing on extensive ethnographic research across Japan, I highlight how urbanites perceive their roles in their new places of residence, how their values and identities are impacted by the move, how they approach insecurity, risk, and challenges, and how they envisage their place in the community and in society at large. I argue that urbanites play ambiguous roles between uncertainty, aspiration, hope and precariousness. I examine what strategies and measures individuals use in making efforts to create heterotopic entities in their chosen places of residence. By doing so, the article aims for a more nuanced approach to heterotopia as relational space.","PeriodicalId":34948,"journal":{"name":"Asian anthropology","volume":"21 1","pages":"10 - 23"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45837519","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

All contributions draw on long-term ethnographic fieldwork. We believe that the grounded perspectives salient in all papers tie in well with the concept of heterotopia, as the research tool of ethnography highlights the multilayered nature of places and social relations across times and spaces. The original panel organizers were Stephanie Assmann and Susanne Klien. But as Stephanie shifted to a new university position, Paul Hansen, who was unable to join the original panel due to being on another, stepped in as co-editor and contributor. We remain indebted and thankful for Stephanie’s input and continued camaraderie. We would also like to express our thanks to Kato Fumitoshi (Keio University), who was an outstanding panel discussant at the AAA and helped shape the trajectory of this project. Before delving into the papers included in this special issue, some obvious questions emerge. What is heterotopia? For those readers who are familiar with this pervasive but elusive concept, why is it used as a provocation or conceptual scaffolding herein? And why focus specifically on rural Japan? These important questions we will address in this short introduction before offering an outline of the contributions.","PeriodicalId":34948,"journal":{"name":"Asian anthropology","volume":"21 1","pages":"1 - 9"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48897925","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
