The violence of silencing
In December 2020, the International Review of Law and Economics (IRLE) published an article by Harvard law professor J. Mark Ramseyer, ‘Contracting for Sex in the Pacific War’, that is premised on the unsupported and scholarly-consensus-defying claim that thousands of young women and girls mostly from Korea, who ended up in Japanese military ‘comfort women’ stations during the Pacific War, were paid sex workers. Scholars were quick to criticize R…
Remembering the ‘comfort women’: Geographies of displacement, violence and memory in the Asia-Pacific and beyond
The ‘comfort women’ system of the 1930s and 1940s, in which girls and women were coerced to serve as sex slaves for the Imperial Army of Japan, was one of the most systematic and institutionalized forms of violence against female bodies in contemporary world history. In spite of the unparalleled scale and systematic nature of the violence against thousands of women, the world knew little about this system until the 1980s when former ‘comfort wome…

Friendly authoritarianism” and the bedtaun: Public space in a Japanese suburb
In the West, public space ideally serves as the open, transformative core of urban democratic society. But what role does it play in a non-Western democracy with anti-individualist, authoritarian cultural mores, such as in Japan? The author used archival research, direct observations and informal interviews, as well as reference to key insights of actor-network theory (ANT) to investigate whether or not the public spaces of a Japanese suburb are …

Recalcitrant space: Modeling variation in humanistic geography
In the past decade humanistic geography has been roundly criticized by influential geographers for offering essentialist conceptions of place. In this paper it is argued that essentialism is not intrinsic to these conceptions, and a model of ‘recalcitrant space’ is presented to show how amenable humanistic geographies are to constructivist adaptations that foreground variation in subjective encounters with place
The los Angeles Coast as a Public Place
In the public‐space discourse Los Angeles is usually portrayed as more "anti‐city" than city. Its landscape is overrun by houses, "private‐public" squares and plazas, theme parks, shopping malls, and so on and lacks inclusive public places. Yet this discourse has essentially disdained to contemplate a major public space that contradicts its general thesis: the Los Angeles coast. The coast is meaningful public place in two specific senses. First, …
The Role of Individualism and the Five‐Factor Model in the Prediction of Performance in a Leaderless Group Discussion
Personality has seen a resurgence in the work performance literature. The Five‐Factor Model (FFM) represents a set of personality factors that has received the most attention in recent years. Despite its popularity, the FFM may not be sufficiently comprehensive to account for relevant variation across performance dimensions or tasks. Accordingly, the present study also considers how individualism may predict additional variance in performance bey…
