Theorizing Colonial Cinema
Mental (2008)
This article examines Sōda Kazuhiro’s observational documentary, especially his second observational film, Seishin (Mental), and specifically considers its participatory methods, sociohistorical circumstances, and philosophical anthropology. Influenced by North American direct cinema of the 1960s (especially Frederick Wiseman) as well as Bronisław Malinowski’s participant observation, Sōda’s observational style not only emphasizes the self-affect…
Kawase Naomi’s Introspective Style
This article examines Kawase’s films, with a focus on her early documentaries in autobiographical forms (in the 1990s and early 2000s). Far from being a simple mimesis of her everyday reality, Kawase’s cinema-verité–like autobiographies have distinct features. In particular, they are characterized by the camera’s introspective gaze, a gaze directed toward the filmmaker herself. The films show various reflexive images of the director, such as her …
Dōgen's Fallibilism
Crisis and World Temporality
Various elements of the everyday have been suspended, interrogated, and redefined in the estranged experience of the crisis that occurred in Japan shortly after March 2011. This complex transformation of quotidian consciousness gives renewed meaning to Miki Kiyoshi's philosophy of history, especially his interrogations of human temporality in the 1930s. Miki's idea of the binary of genzai (the present) and gendai (the modern) that he developed du…
The end of literature and the beginning of praxis
On 16 March 2011, shortly after the hydrogen explosion in the third nuclear block, Wagō Ryōichi (1968–), a poet who has lived in Fukushima for decades, started using Twitter as an alternative method for his action poetry. The tweets from his nearly desolate hometown immediately gained public reception, spreading all across the country and beyond, being compiled into an anthology titled Shi no tsubute (Pebbles of poetry). This study examines the f…
Subculture and world literature
This article examines Mizumura Minae's (c.1950–) literary oeuvre, especially her second novel, Shishōsetsu from left to right (1995), in relation to the concepts of ‘allegory’ (Paul de Man), ‘subculture-literature’ (Ōtsuka Eiji) and ‘world literature’ (David Damrosch). I argue that the novel reveals both Mizumura's desire for and resistance to the universal language (English), and that the novel's material heterogeneity and multilingualism consti…
