Pandemics and citizenship
Legally, administratively and socially, citizenship adapts to the challenges of not only shifting geopolitics but to new infectious diseases that do not readily submit to the rule of nation-states. This essay looks at citizenship in Japan among other countries against the backdrop of the ongoing HIV/AIDS pandemic and the newer COVID-19, from the abject figure of the stigmatized homosexual in the former to quarantined foreigners aboard the cruise …

The Rise and Fall of Modern Japanese Literature
The Rise and Fall of Modern Japanese Literature tells the story of Japanese literature from its start in the 1870s against the backdrop of a rapidly coalescing modern nation to the present. John Whittier Treat takes up both canonical and forgotten works, the non-literary as well as the literary, and pays special attention to the Japanese state's hand in shaping literature throughout the country's nineteenth-century industrialization, a half-centu…

The End of the Homosexual
The Rise and Fall of Homonationalism in Singapore
Pinkwashing and homonationalism are recent terms coined to describe the identification of sexual minorities with the neoliberal state; the former is usually used to critique certain policies within the State of Israel meant to promote its society as tolerant of diversity, the latter with the movement for same-sex marriage and participation in the armed services in the United States. This essay extends the application of these terms to Singapore, …

Murakami Haruki and the cultural materialism of multiple personality disorder
The execution of serial murderer Miyazaki Tsutomu in 2008 ended the local media obsession with Japan's most famous case of multiple personality disorder, but the riddle remains why fictional representations of MPD are so common in Japan, as well as the United States. Reviving the late Raymond Williams’ concept of ‘structure of feeling’ to explore MPD/DID's suggestive relationship with late-model capitalism, this essay analyzes the dissociative mo…
Seoul and Nanking, Baghdad and Kabul
I begin my rejoinder to Timothy Brook and Michael Shin by reiterating the important question with which Brook ends his piece. “[W]hen Hamid Karzai's government falls in Afghanistan, or Nouri al-Maliki's does in Iraq, who then will be the nation's heroes and who the collaborators?” Questions such as this and other present-day conundrums (including the choices I make living in a national security state) were certainly on my mind when I began thinki…
Choosing to Collaborate
Today historians hesitate to judge collaborators with the Axis powers in World War II, citing the impossibility of putting oneself in the often untenable position collaborators found themselves. Nonetheless, contemporary moral philosophy continues to ponder the ethical choice of complicity versus resistance. Yi Kwang-su (1892-1950?), Korea's most distinguished modern novelist as well as one of its more notorious pro-Japanese partisans during the …

Great Mirrors Shattered
Adult Manga
This text examines the rise and fall of Japan's mammoth comic industry since the 1960s. In her history of the manga industry, Sharon Kinsella documents the structure and history of manga, probes into its related subculture and the anti-nerd otaku panic, and examines the difficult and fascinating relationship between the artists and editors who create manga. In the process, she argues that Japanese comics have shifted from being a lower-class medi…

Fukazawa Shichirō's 1960 short story “Furyū mutan” (“The Story of a Dream of Courtly Elegance”) humorously postulates an anarchic popular uprising that culminates in the execution of the Japanese imperial family. A right-wing terrorist attack on the story's publisher not only prompted an end to the depiction of the emperor in fiction but also may have caused the informal ban—still in force—against any overtly critical public discussion of the emp…
