Kriya in Kutiyattam
Kutiyattam is an ancient form of ritual-theater in Kerala. Kriya is an offering to the gods intended to allure them into giving birth to the special Kutiyattam cosmos. A world in which objects, entities, and words are all made of movement. Expanding a presence that resides in the flame of the lamp brought from the temple, kriya collects the elements of life-water, fire, death, wind, wealth, and more-from the nine gods of the cardinal directions. …
Yokozuna Hakuhō-Japanese Mongolian hero
Yokozuna Hakuhō, a prominent Sumo wrestler, is a Mongolian-born Japanese national hero. However, he, as other Mongolian wrestlers, presents Sumo with tensions between worldviews, which are battled both within the hierarchical setting of the Sumo association, and in public opinion. Those concern questions of etiquette and ethical behavior, between what is understood the "real Japanese" spirit, and the Mongolian attitude. Moreover, the Mongolian at…

To Eat, To Speak, To Skirt
Participants of theDeleuzeStudies conference were not prepared forSarahMann-O'Donnell's presentation. She climbed onto the desk, crushed red plums, separated them into pits and peels, ate the pulp, and then vomited it onto the table through a pipe. Her actions were interspersed with stuttering and strange little stories. She was creating an enclave that generated sensual sense, affect, bringing to life a particular short-lived cosmology. Naturall…
The Forces of Homology-Hirohito, Emperor of Japan and the 1928 Rites of Succession
In November 1928, Hirohito became the emperor of Japan through a series of rituals, beginning with the emperor's presentation to the world. Afterwards the emperor soul, transmitted from the sun goddess through the preceding generations of emperors to the current one, is rejuvenated and pacified by attaching different gods (kami) to it. Then, in his full presence as a living-kami, the new emperor enters a finely balanced structure to partake of sa…
Events of organicity
A brief and schematic presentation of two ethnographic events illustrates the dynamic engendered by the clash between the state as striated and organicity. This clash is the Deleuzian war machine. The ethnographic events are part of Israeli nationality: one shows a close combat training session within the Israeli Defense Forces and the other a recording of Holocaust survivors' stories for educational purposes. Both are instances in which somatici…
Once We Put Our Helmets On, There are No More Friends
At their final training session, soldiers at the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) close-combat instructors' course are faced with an extreme situation. Clad in full protection gear, they must face consecutive opponent and fight until they can fight no more. The training setting presents to the soldiers a dilemma epitomized in the instructor's question ''Do you want to quit?'' The author argues that the question, as well as, the situation as a whole p…
Globalisation of the war on violence
Participants from all around the world come to train in Israeli (close combat) with the ‘Tour and Train’ programme. They perform exercises that aim to control close‐range violence and are devised within a certain logic, and this logic is subsequently disseminated to become part of the globalised view of the war on terror. Whereas the understanding of globalised terror and its counteraction is often drawn from political statements and their interp…
Survival, an Israeli Ju Jutsu school of martial arts
■ Nationalism is the untenable union of the impersonal, mechanistic, bureaucratic logic of the state and the intimate, emotional, organic logic of the nation. While practicing martial arts, the participants at the Israeli Survival School of Ju Jutsu create a utopian Israeliness, using bits of state-national understandings to form a family-like organicity. At the North Indian school of wrestling described by Joseph Alter, too, an organic utopian n…
Kibadachi in karate
Kibadachi is a rather simple karate exercise performed during a several-day-long special training, in which the participants squat in a crouching position for an hour and a half without moving. Despite its simplicity, and because its main feature is the immediate and excruciating pain it induces, kibadachi stimulates a kind of permeability between the participants, and also causes changes in the relations between physical and mental parts of thei…
Timing in Karate and the Body in Its Own Right
Training toward 'perfect timing' in karate entails deciphering small movements and interpreting them as signs of an opponent's decision to launch an attack. It includes the aptitude to perceive those signs and react to them before the attacker is aware of her own decision. It also depends on the ability of the body to perceive and move without recourse to cognition. This article considers the body in its own right as well as how it is involved in…
Kimeand the Moving Body
This article concerns kime, a somatic code used in the 'empty hand' Japanese martial art of karate. Kime is a tactile-kinesthetic entity born out of practice, coming into being in a social setting through the specific organization of the body-self, fusing body and self into one stance and movement. Kime is entirely embodied, yet can only be operated and recognized inter-subjectively. It plays a crucial role in combat and at the same time also ind…
