Critics in Residence @Kyoto Experiment 2024 Opening Symposium

The opening symposium of “Critics in Residence @Kyoto Experiment” explores Japanese and European viewpoints on the current situation of journalism and critique. The first part of the symposium features renowned journalist and media activist Daisuke Tsuda, who is widely known for his critical writing about recent shifts in the Japanese and international media environment as well as establishing his own platforms for independent journalism.
In his keynote speech, Tsuda will share his perspective on the present situation of journalism and critique in Japan as well as the freedom of speech and the radicalization of the public debate.
In the second part, the symposium opens a dialogue between Tsuda and the residents from Europe, who feed in their diverse backgrounds from different cultural contexts and their individual approaches on the current challenges of critique amidst the societal situation in their countries of residence.
