Solidarity’s Indiscipline
This essay charts Masao Miyoshi’s shifting relation to the university as he both imagined it and intervened within it. I examine an incident in which Miyoshi heeded a graduate student’s request for help in contesting unfair treatment. This incident represents a crucible that prefigured developments within Miyoshi’s critical consciousness, particularly regarding pursuits of justice within and beyond the university. I argue that Miyoshi’s pedagogic…
Textures of Mourning
Gallows Hospitality
How does hospitality look and feel at a performed hanging? On a nightly basis, Japanese performance artist Hangman Takuzō would hang himself in his Tokyo garden. For a small fee, audience members witnessed the hangings, but were also welcomed as guests, invited to share refreshments, eroding the border between morbid performance ritual and everyday gestures of fellowship

Scripting The Moribund
This chapter explores the multiple ways in which 'death is encountered' in the context of the Genji Scrolls and reconsiders Sano's point at the end. Most of the scroll sections have been lost, but it is thought that at one time, sections that corresponded to each of The Tale of Genji's fifty-four chapters existed. Each painting in the Genji Scrolls was originally preceded by a kotobagaki and each kotobagaki provided a framing narrative to context…

Orienting "Composure" in the Sculptural and Poetic Work of Barbara Chase-Riboud Reginald Jackson (bio) I wanted freedom from the tyranny of the base. —Barbara Chase-Riboud Centrifugal work begins with good-bye, wants to bid all givens good-bye. It begins with what words will not do, paint will not do, whatever medium we find ourselves working in will not do. —Nathaniel Mackey Also, while always aware of her African-American identity, Chase-Riboud…
Gender, race and the ethical praxis of slide guitar
This article explores slide guitar as the basis for an ethics of listening. Here, slide guitar serves as a metaphor through which alternative possibilities of hearing, performing, thinking, and living might be explored. By analyzing slide guitar and the particular sonic elements that characterize its tone and techniques of sounding, I argue that sliding—with all of the risks its movement entails—signifies a mode of recursive questioning through w…
Hojoki, visions of a torn world
Japan's capital city of Kyoto was devastated by earthquake, storm, and fire in the late 12th century. Retreating from unkind world, the poet and Buddhist priest Kamo-no-Chomei left the capital for the forested mountains, where he eventually constructed his famous ten-foot-square hut. From this solitary vantage point Chomei produced Hojoki, an extraordinary literary work that describes all he has seen of human misery and his new life of simple cho…
