Mainland ignorance
Proposing the idea of mainland ignorance from the writings of Charles W. Mills. • Mainland discourses actively produce forms of ignorance concerning islands. • Japanese historical narratives construct colonial amnesia about Okinawa. • Exploring the role of uncertainty in mainland ignorance. • Discussing implications of ignoring the colonial past to the colonial present of militarised islands. Drawing from Charles Mills’ concept of “white ignoranc…
Base borders
This article builds on the political geography of islands and emerging research on the relationship between island, border and sovereignty. Today, islands are recognised as crucial sites for the understanding of contemporary border controls. Military bases that were built during earlier colonial periods are increasingly used for transnational migrant detention practices. This article aims to offer another important insight to the politics of bord…
Decolonial encounter with neo‐nationalism
This paper aims to make a contribution to ongoing debates in decolonial, indigenous, and island geographies through a case study of the Okinawan indigenous movement and its recent encounter with a neo‐nationalist, and in effect neocolonial, movement. The Okinawan indigenous movement emerged against the backdrop of the continuing US military presence on Okinawa Island, which is the direct result of the post‐war American military occupation and con…
Base Built in the Middle of 'Rice Fields
This paper explores the role of ignorance in contemporary imperial geopolitics and the political geography of islands. Ignorance and imperialism have gone hand in hand since as early as the European age of ‘discovery’. The idea of empty spaces empowered earlier European colonial expansion by ignoring the existence of non-white indigenous people and communities. A few centuries later, the cartographic discourse of empty spaces still appears to be …
Bodies and borders in post-imperial Japan
In this article, I conduct a study of what may be called the coloniality of biometric power. In recent years, scholars in social sciences and humanities have shown the continuities of colonialism and racism in the politics of biometric identification. Not only are the origins of biometrics closely related to colonial governance and scientific racism, but contemporary biometric technologies also continue to carry on colonial and racial dimensions …
Racializing surveillance through language
This article explores the racialized ways in which the language of surveillance is selectively translated and how it reproduces the racialization of suspects and the criminalization of migrants. Following recent writings on racialized surveillance, and the racialized politics of security more broadly, the article argues that the selective use of a particular language in the promotion of surveillance reproduces an urban and "ethnic" border. It con…
Geopolitics of disregard
Crowd surveillance
The recent proliferation of the securitization of crowded places has led to a growth in the development of technologies of crowd behaviour analysis. However, despite the emerging prominence of crowd surveillance in emergency planning, its impacts on our understanding of security and surveillance have received little discussion. Using the case of crowd surveillance in Tokyo, this article examines the ways in which crowds are simulated, monitored a…
Towards a Global Genealogy of Biopolitics
This paper examines, at the global scale, the biopolitical strategy of racism that Foucault articulated in the context of 19th-century Europe. Through my historical analysis both of the emergent notion of race and of biometric production of racial knowledge during Japanese colonialism, I endeavour to delineate a circulation of a political rationality of modern racism, which became globally generalised and constitutive of the formation of a non-We…
