Art as a Weapon: Japanese Proletarian Literature on the Centenary of the 1917 Russian Revolution
One hundred years have passed since the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917. It's surely one of the signal events of the modern era, a project whose significance for humanity is hardly exhausted by its history, including the disastrous, tragic history of Stalinism. A scholarly and curatorial boom in works and exhibits in the centenary reflecting on the impact of the revolution suggests it is not forgotten, even in the former first world, but its legacy …
Red Love Across the Pacific
This book examines the Red Love vogue that swept across the Asia-Pacific in the 1920s and 1930s as part of a worldwide interest in socialism and follows its trails throughout the twentieth century. Encouraging both political and sexual liberation, Red Love was a transnational movement demonstrating the revolutionary potential of love and desire

For Dignity, Justice, and Revolution: An Anthology of Japanese Proletarian Literature
Fiction created by and for the working class emerged worldwide in the early twentieth century as a response to rapid modernization, dramatic inequality, and imperial expansion. In Japan, literary youth, men and women, sought to turn their imaginations and craft to tackling the ensuing injustices, with results that captured both middle-class and worker-farmer readers. This anthology is a landmark introduction to Japanese proletarian literature fro…
Streets of Promise, Streets of Sorrow: Kobayashi Takiji and the Proletarian Movement
In this article I read the public space and streetscapes of early-Shōwa Tokyo through the lens of proletarian writers. I use the conceptual tools provided by cultural geographers, in particular the concept of emotional geography. Activists of the late 1920s co-opted the streets to distribute leaflets and engage in other forms of agitation. Through their actions they attempted to reinscribe the meaning of the streets, extending even to the ceremon…
Why a Boom in Proletarian Literature in Japan? The Kobayashi Takiji Memorial and The Factory Ship
In February 2009, I was in a book store in the international terminal of Tokyo's Narita Airport when I saw it: Kobayashi Takiji's 1929 novella Kani Kosen (The Factory Ship) on the endcap sporting the best-sellers of 2008.Two young Japanese women paused near the endcap, and then one picked up the book. I asked them why they were interested in it, explaining that I research Japanese proletarian literature. One woman cautiously answered, "Kani kosen…

Guest Editor's Introduction: Proletarian Arts in East Asia
The proletarian arts movement was an international politico-arts movement that flourished in the 1920s and 1930s. Like other modernist movements, the proletarian arts movement sought to redefine the form and function of literature and art; and like other modernist movements, it held that capitalism was fundamentally changing the ways that people related to each other and to the world in which they lived. But, in contrast, the proletarian arts mov…
The Epistemology of Torture: 24 And Japanese Proletarian Literature
I absolutely do not believe that the show is, in any sense, torture porn. This is something we talk about a lot. Torture is of no interest to us as torture, and we're not anxious to show it, nor do we want to watch it." (Michael Loceff, writer for 24)In the U.S., torture has become a spectacle to be consumed: from media representations of the abuses of Abu Ghraib, Guantánamo, and statements by Vice President Dick Cheney defending the rights of th…
