This article reinterprets Natsume Sōseki’s Theory of Literature (Bungakuron, 1906) as a historically premature intervention that exposes the contingent, nineteenth-century construction of “literature” and “literary history.” It argues that Sōseki’s apparently eccentric question – “What is literature?” – targets the hidden historicity behind claims of Western universality and rejects linear developmental narratives and “-isms” as explanatory whole…
Isonomia and the Origins of Philosophy
Neoliberalism as a historical stage
Orthodox Marxist historical materialisms have viewed the history of social formations one-sidedly from the mode of production as base, which over-determines the political, ideological superstructure. In contrast, this article proposes an augmentation of historical materialism which has as its determinative base the mode of exchange. Specifically, through a lens of exchange, a spatial and territorial element is brought to an analysis and historici…
Isonomia and the Origins of Philosophy
In Isonomia and the Origins of Philosophy —published originally in Japanese and now available in four languages—Kojin Karatani questions the idealization of ancient Athens as the source of philosophy and democracy by placing the origins instead in Ionia, a set of Greek colonies located in present-day Turkey. Contrasting Athenian democracy with Ionian isonomia—a system based on non-rule and a lack of social divisions whereby equality is realized t…
The Structure of World History
Critique is impossible without moves’
In this dialogue, geographer Joel Wainwright interviews the celebrated Marxist philosopher, Kojin Karatani. Their wide-ranging discussion examines key concepts by a series of philosophers – especially Kant, Marx, Hegel and Derrida – through an analysis of several core geographical concerns: the spatial organization of global capitalism, the formation of empires and territorial nation states, the current economic crisis, and more. The interview co…
A Trespasser – Mourning Masao Miyoshi
Beyond Capital-Nation-State
This essay proposes to abandon the architectural metaphor of base/superstructure that has come to inform historical materialism since Marx and reconstruct a Marxian theory of social formation around the notion of 'exchange' (Verkher). With different degrees of dominance, different historical social formations are composed of four modes of exchange (reciprocity/gift exchange, redistribution/plunder, commodity exchange, and X) and their correspondi…
Rethinking Sōseki's theory
This paper builds on the discussion of Bungakuron in Origins of Modern Japanese Literature (1993). It focuses on Sōseki's collaboration with Masaoka Shiki to revive haiku and the links that Sōseki found between the haiku-related genre of shaseibun (literary sketches) and the grotesque, loosely plotted realism of Laurence Sterne. Like Bakhtin, Sōseki recognizes something in early novelistic forms that would later be disciplined out. Furthermore, t…
Transcritique on Kant and Marx
Kojin Karatani's Transcritique introduces a startlingly new dimension to Immanuel Kant's transcendental critique by using Kant to read Karl Marx and Marx to read Kant. In a direct challenge to standard academic approaches to both thinkers, Karatani's transcritical readings discover the ethical roots of socialism in Kant's Critique of Pure Reason and a Kantian critique of money in Marx's Capital."--BOOK JACKET

Let me begin with a recent event-an exchange between two Nobel Prize-winning novelists: Kenzaburo Oe of Japan and Claude Simon of France. It began when be refused to attend a conference in France in 1995 as a protest against nuclear testing by France. In response, Claude Simon wrote a letter to Oe, which was published in Le Monde on 21 September 1995. Neither be's antagonism nor Simon's defense was particularly new in their respective positions. …
Origins of Modern Japanese Literature
Architecture as metaphor
In Architecture as Metaphor, Karatani detects a recurrent "will to architecture" that he argues is the foundation of all Western thinking, traversing architecture, philosophy, literature, linguistics, city planning, anthropology, political economics, psychoanalysis, and mathematics. In the three parts of the book, he analyzes the complex bonds between construction and deconstruction, thereby pointing to an alternative model of "secular criticism,…

Origins of Modern Japanese Literature
Since its publication in Japan ten years ago, Origins of Modern Japanese Literature has become a landmark book, playing a pivotal role in defining discussions of modernity in that country. Against a history of relative inattention on part of Western translators to modern Asian critical theory, this first English publication is sure to have a profound effect on current cultural criticism in West. It is both boldest critique of modern Japanese lite…

The Discursive Space of Modern Japan
The word and discourse concerning suddenly began to proliferate in summer of 1987, when news of emperor's illness spread. By beginning of 1989, after so many recountings of the End of Showa, ended. Once it had ended, it became apparent that a Showa period had existed, and its historical review could begin. What are implications of periodizing history according to era names? Since Meiji (1868-1912), Japanese era names have functioned as reign, one…
