問題（非現実性）を上手にアニメーションした物です。
時間があれば日本語訳したいのですが、
時間がなくって。。。誰かいないかな〜？
日本でもこういった形のメディアを普及させたいと思っています。
例えば、４分で分かる「原発問題」、「再稼働」、「TPP」とか。
面白く、分かりやすく、少々知的な感じもする映像。
もうあるのかな？
最後にアクションも提案するのが大事ですね。
英語がわからなくても映像を見てみてください。
ヴィジュアルだけでも内容が分かると思います。
お子さんの英会話勉強にもなるかも？
Here are some fun and easy to understand videos about capitalism and money. I'm not exactly sure how accurately these videos reflect reality, and the impacts it has on viewers (ie stimulate people to take effective action), but I like them and they definitely have an influence on my world view.
(it also makes for an easy blog entry:)
I've been reading about Marx, Gramsci, Transition Towns, ecopedagogy, etc. trying to figure out what would be a meaningful and fun research topic for the Graduate Program in Sustainability Science at University of Tokyo. It's a challenge since the key word here is "science" and the faculty are almost all Japanese natural science researchers. Hence, they seem to like numbers (quantitative data) and generally encourage pro-business pro-capitalism research. (Big) business, innovation, and technology for a sustainable future! But, something seems wrong here. Somehow I probably have to make a solid case using academic discourse that is easy for them to understand and accept. hmmmmm....
Related to that, I've been wondering about what the socio-political implications of permaculture are? It seems like permaculture is largely a movement away from politics and mainstream society, although City Repair, liberation permaculture, and maybe the students who were awarded by Obama for permaculture activities recently, seem like a new wave of a more socio-politically engaged group of permies. What does permaculture have to offer in terms of transforming the larger oppressive systems that dominate us? Or is that beyond the scope of permaculture?
Just some thoughts.
Ok, so here are the videos.
First off, The Impossible Hamster by the New Economics Foundation (NEF).
If capitalism was a hamster....cute!!!
最初はイギリスのニュー・エコノミックス・ファンデーションより、
資本主義をハムスターに例えた映像。
これは日本でうけると思う。
タイトルは「不可能なハムスター」
Second youtube is The Story of Broke by the Story of Stuff Project. Where are your taxes going and why is the US broke?
「金欠の話」なぜ政府はお金がないのか？税金をさんざん取っているのに、教育など社会福祉関係への資金が減らされている。税金はどこへ行っているのか（東電）？このビデオは「ストーリーオブスタッフ」シリーズの第２作でyoutubeで検索したら中国語の翻訳はあったけど、日本語はまだない。
Who Killed Economic Growth by the Post Carbon Institute (PCI). Another well-made video explaining the impossibility of economic growth through a simplified history of capitalism and fossil fuels. Richard Heinberg who is the narrator of the video recently published a books called "The End of Growth".
ポストカーボン機関による「誰が経済成長を殺したのか？」というアニメーション。
とってもポップで面白いです。
無限経済成長の不可能さを資本主義経済と石油の歴史から説明した物です。
Finally, or else I'll never get anything done, the Crisis of Capitalism by the Royal Society for the Arts, Manufactures, and Commerce (RSA). This video features a graphic facilitator animating a talk by David Harvey. Harvey summarizes various theories by others on why our economy is in crisis, then presents his own Marxist analysis and what we should do to change things.
最後は有名なマルクス系の学者デビッド・ハービーによる
資本主義経済の仕組みの説明と問題定義。
グラフィックファシリテーターが彼のトークを上手に
分かりやすく描いています。
