▼ This thesis explores the inner meanings conveyed in two post-war Japanese films: To live (Ikiru 1952) directed by Akira Kurosawa and Villon's Wife (Viyon no tsuma 2009) by Negishi Kichitarō. Both films are analyzed cinematographically, and compared and contrasted for the directors' different interpretations of issues posed by the postwar in Japan. In my discussion of Kurosawa's Ikiru, the work of several critics (James Goodwin, Mitsuyo Wada-Marciano, Stephen Prince, Tsuzuki Masaaki and others's) is presented and discussed in the first part of the thesis. The film Villon's Wife, and the original novel by Dazai Osamu, are studied together with Seki Reiko's and Hirano Ken's interpretations of the fiction in the second part of the thesis. Kurosawa's production of Ikiru reflects an attempt to heal the nation and the populace from the hell of defeat, while Kichitarō's Villon's Wife is a remarkable break away from the frame of the original novel and provides a progressive view of women's ability to transform their lives.

Sisterly Same-Sex Sentiment: Non-erotic Female Relationships in Twentieth-Century Chinese Literature and Society.

▼ This dissertation is a genealogical investigation of the thematic significance of female same-sex sentimentality in the construction of the space of female imaginary in modern Chinese literature from the beginning of the twentieth-century to contemporary popular culture. By focusing on the textual and cinematic representations in female-authored fiction and woman-centered films, I argue that female same-sex sentiment is primarily a psychological intimate relationship developed from the modern institution of education, in which women will try to avoid developing friendships with the opposite sex in order to maintain the virginity and the chastity that have historically been characterized by patriarchal censorship as moral codes for women. It helps the young female go through her social recasting of self-identification in the transitional stage from kin-inflected family to institutional-based society, and simultaneously convey her into a “homeward” journey of heterosexual marriage. It therefore reflects the integrity of heterosexual mechanics.
On the other hand, this intimate relationship between women raises a suggestion of female homoeroticism. By shifting the focus from whether female same-sex sentiment is purely non-erotic or really homosexual to the questions of within which institution and in what language that this female intimate relationship becomes suggestive of being homosexual, I argue that its “in-between” position lies in a lack of feminine discourse based on real gender differentials. The suspicion of homoeroticism in female same-sex sentimentality is neither a representation nor a confirmation of female homoeroticism. Rather, it is a reflection of woman’s self-awareness of not slipping into homosexuality that has been labelled as both physically illicit and mentally abnormal. Secondly, it is also a reflection of the fact that feminine pleasure has politically been conceptualized on the basis of masculine parameters and has to remain inarticulate in language.
In this sense, female same-sex sentimentality has destabilized the fixed boundary of the binary system of heterosexuality from within the monolithic discourse of masculine Oneness. It thematically performs women’s dynamic interacted-ness with the nation-state system, as well as the discursive (
de)construction of gender as a man-made category brought by the new visions regarding the constitution of the subject, gender, and sex in the fields of feminism and gender studies.

▼ This dissertation examines the historical practices and literary representations of “agrarian commune” from 1949 to the contemporary age in People’s Republic of China, focusing on its ambiguous role in the heterogeneous formation of Chinese modernity. Current Chinese literary studies have not explored the literary imagination of “agrarian commune” and its relation to modernity. Combining the Marxist political-economic analysis of China’s socio-economic reality with the textual analysis of literary works, this study seeks to explore how this “non-capitalist” formation of “commune” articulates with the “capitalist sector” in the uneven structure of China’s national economy in a complex way: on the one hand, it creates an “internal border” within China and serves for the internal primitive accumulation for the state; on the other hand, it produces the resisting elements that continually contest and disrupt the logic of capitalism, and opens the possibility for alternative practice of the “common life” that transcends the logic of capital and state. This study unpacks the complexity of “commune” in different periods through the reading of literary works. Chapter One focuses on the “collectivization movement” in socialist period and explores Zhao Shuli and Liu Qing’s divergent conceptions about the “agricultural cooperative” in relation to the state. Chapter Two focuses on the “underclass literature” that captures the living conditions of rural migrants under the “household contract responsibility system” in the era of market economy and global capitalism. Chapter Three examines the recent effort of reviving the “commune” and “common life” in the “New Co-operative Movement” promoted by New Left intellectuals after the year 2000, focusing on Wang Anyi and Liu Jiming’s novels. By looking into the different ways that the collective land ownership interacts with capital and the state throughout different stages of modern China, this study shows how the rural “outside” plays both a “productive” and a “subversive” role in the global uneven structure of capitalism, thereby enriching the discussion of “uneven development” in Marxist scholarship, and filling a blank spot in current Chinese literary studies regarding the rural modernity.

▼ Cats, Dogs, and Cyborgs: Transcending the Human-Animal Divide in Contemporary Japanese Literature blurs the binary between humans and non-humans, as represented in the torrent of relevant literature that has saturated Japan’s popular markets since the archipelago underwent a so-called “pet boom” in the mid-1990s. Through carefully selected texts that look beyond mere representational approaches to the literary animal, each chapter treats specific works of literature as case studies of human-animal relationships gone somehow awry. Examining symbiotic concepts of “humanity” and “animality,” and how each enhances—and undermines—the other across national literary spaces, Cats, Dogs, and Cyborgs makes an unprecedented case for Japan’s pet boom, and how its sudden interest in companion animals points to watershed examples of what I call “productive error,” by which anthropocentrism is redefined as a necessary rupture in, not a bandage on, the thick skin of human primacy. Covering such diverse topics as euthanasia, guide dogs, the supernatural, and posthumanism, this book concludes by introducing the paradigm shift of “postanimalism” as a detour from the current traffic jam of animal-centered philosophies, and in anticipation of a larger project that requires Japan as catalyst, and postanimalism as its theoretical innovation.

▼ This dissertation challenges established assumptions concerning the religious and civilizational influences upon certain prominent Japanese and American intellectuals during the interwar period, 1931-1945. My argument has two stages. First, I take the case of Tanabe Hajime, a major theorist of Japanese imperial sovereignty, and demonstrate that he has been mistakenly represented as (something like) a "Buddhist" thinker who advocates Japanese racial superiority as a justification for empire. In fact, on closer examination of his writings it is apparent that he is to all intents and purposes a political theologian adapting the discourse of the Barthian post-WWI Euro-American theological world. It is also apparent that he has much more complex views on race and its malleability than his commentators have typically afforded to him. The second stage of my argument is to show how the forms of "postnational" sovereignty Tanabe is arguing for are also given serious consideration (and often support) by major American intellectuals of the time. I undertake this comparison by examining the work of Reinhold Niebuhr and John Foster Dulles in the 1930s. In particular, through highlighting the deployment of "repentance" by all three thinkers, as well as through historicizing the various representations of transpacific interwar intellectual history post-WWII, I show the conspicuous transpacific commonalities among all three figures. This, in turn, evidences the distorted nature of the prevailing accounts of the 1930s, accounts that have deployed civilizational religiocultural differences to misrepresent and/or disavow or the global transformations of thinking on sovereignty during this time.

▼ This dissertation studies representative queer texts across various media (literature, theater and cinema) in relation to the changing melodramatic and sentimental modes of representations of home throughout 20th and 21st century China. Depictions of home in modern China are often expressed through these modes; the aesthetics of these modes concerns the ontological question of loss in China's coerced passage into modernity. This melancholic loss is often associated with the constructions of "Chineseness"-cultural attempts to anchor, in the words of Rey Chow, "a non-Western but Westernized" Chinese identity. This project seeks to understand how queerness, as sites of affective excess indicating unresolved social contradictions, intervenes the melodramatic or sentimental tendency towards ideological closures, which secure orthodox Chinese identities. This project identifies four geo-historical sites that provide historical conditions of possibility for queerness to emerge in relation to the notion of home and family. My geo-historical sites of analysis are Republican China, post-Martial Law Taiwan, post-Socialist China and contemporary Taiwan and China. For Republican China, I analyze the case of Ouyang Yuqian and explore his committed theatre career of female impersonation. Through a study of the affective exchange between him and his fans, I demonstrate how this dimension allows him to go beyond the familial ideologies in 1910s family i melodramas and 1920s Nora plays, which led him to create Nora plays that entailed queer desires. For post-Martial Law Taiwan and post-Socialist China, I choose to study the first visible queer texts – in Taiwan, Crystal Boys and Tian Chi-yuan's queer theatre by situating them in the dominant structure of feelings of melancholia and ressentiment; in China, I explore queerness in East Palace, West Palace and Lin Yingyu's adaptation of Jean Genet in relation to the affective politics in dominant root-searching and scar literature movements. From the contemporary moments, I study two self-identified queer activists/independent filmmakers' works-Mickey Chen from Taiwan and Cui Zi'en from China, analyzing how the sentimental or melodramatic mode is deployed in their works. I select those texts for their representativeness as the first queer texts or significant examples that allow us to see the cultural politics of the specific spatial-temporal sites I chose for analysis. This project demonstrates that, in order to understand queerness in 20th-century China, one needs to engage with the afterlives of Confucian familialism, through which Chineseness has been repeatedly constructed to counter the melancholic loss of modernity. ii

▼ This dissertation aims to understand the articulation of nationality in postwar Japan by looking at literary texts that theorize the nature of the emperor and "emperor system" (tennōsei) as a phenomenon specific to the postwar itself. I analyze texts that comment on the nature of "disrespect" toward the emperor, and in some cases perform that very disrespect, which I argue is ultimately the deconstruction of the emperor system itself. The texts under consideration were written at two points in time: the immediate postwar (around 1946) and the time marked by protests of the renewed U.S.-Japan Security Treaty in 1960. I consider these points in time as "discursive spaces" that the texts capture by bringing together a constellation of images and forces, and that allow for productive cross-reading of the texts. Chapter One introduces some of the theoretical premises for the project, and emphasizes my focus on the discursive representation of the emperor as opposed to the tendency of scholarship to focus on the individual emperor as historical and political agent. Chapter Two traces the invention of the postwar emperor system to narratives deployed to project the image of a human and sympathetic emperor who at once broke with the past and represented absolute continuity with it. C hapter Three turns to Nakano Shigeharu's postwar writings on the emperor that show the contradictions inherent in the "emperor system" itself as well as the role of media and society in reproducing it discursively. The narrator of his text, Goshaku no Saku, believes that the only means to liberate the emperor from the emperor system is to take the notion of the "human" emperor to its logical conclusion: "elevate" the emperor to the status of citizen. Chapter Four argues that Sakaguchi Ango's postwar writing on the emperor leads to very similar conclusions, but frames it as "descent" to humanity. Chapter Five considers the context of 1960 in which the postwar narrative of the peaceful emperor became challenged by remilitarization a nd the renewed Security Treaty; the image of the emperor was mobilized not to unify opposing views, but rend them apart. I argue that Fukazawa Shichirō's Fūryū Mutan depicts this very disunity. However, reaction to the text as event shifted the debate from literary representation of the emperor to the ways that the terrorism circumvents free speech. In Chapter Six, I argue that Mishima capitalizes on this shift and creates a moral equivalence between terrorism and political revolt by defining a notion of militaristic glory as the protection of Japanese culture. In the process, he designs a theory of emperor system that reproduces a foreign fantasy. Chapter Seven argues for the relevance of asking today the same questions raised by the authors. ii

▼ This annotated translation of an excerpt by Hirota Masaki makes available in English Hirota's discussion, in Bunmei kaika to minshû ishiki (Civilization and enlightenment and the people's consciousness), of the development of the people's political subjectivity during Japan's transformation from bakuhan bureaucracy to modern imperial state. The translation is preceded by a brief translator's introduction, which places Hirota's work into its historiographical context and directs the reader's attention to key points in the excerpt. In this excerpt, one of Hirota's primary concerns is the role that non-elites themselves played in the construction of the new polity. He argues that, far from being a monolithic entity, the village communities (which comprised the large majority of Japan's population at the time) were composed of three different social strata, each with its own distinctive relation to bunmei kaika. For Hirota, the interactions among these different layers of society were instrumental in shaping the character of, and the tensions within, the modern Japanese nation. In the first half of the excerpt, Hirota analyzes the ruling class's motivations for creating a national polity, and examines the uneasy combination of Enlightenment and Emperor ideologies that underpinned the kaika policies used to control the populace and harness its energies in service of the state. In the second half of the excerpt, Hirota examines the political subjectivities that were slowly beginning to emerge under the tumultuous political and social conditions of the late-Tokugawa and early-Meiji eras. He shows how these conditions, combined with the civilizational logic of the kaika policies, empowered some groups and disempowered others; and how the process of nation-building led to new forms of "degradation and discrimination" for the lower social strata. The result, he argues, was ultimately a "homogeneous nation" that, to this day, remains self-alienated and unequal.

▼ This dissertation examines the relation between scholars of kokugaku (often translated as "nativism") and the rise of empirical rationalism as a paradigm for knowledge in Mid-Eighteenth Edo Japan. In particular, I trace the shifts in the ways language, the human body, and nature came to be intertwined in a complex network of relations that redefined the way knowledge came to be produced. By emphasizing the crucial relation between kokugaku and empirico-practical fields, such as the medical-pharmacological rise of honzōgaku (ch. bencaoxue) in the 1700s, I seek to show how anatomy and nature came to be central in the ways kokugaku scholars imagined the role of people in the world. Mindful of the immense changes occurring in Eighteenth Century Edo intellectual landscape, I argue that it is impossible to account for the rise of kokugaku without taking into consideration the shifts in social perception of the role of nature. Instead of anchoring kokugaku within the teleological paradigm of incipient nationalism – a relation foregrounded since the Meiji period, and later championed by philosophers in the decades of Japanese empire – my dissertation shows how the excess of nature, as a repository of conceptual and practical knowledge about the world, often guided these scholars’ philological archaeology of the "pristine" relation between language and the body.

▼ Beginning from the dramatic changes which took place in the early 1930s in the dominant historical logic of Marxism at the time, that is, when the Kōza, or "Lectures" faction published their major historical statement, the 8-volume Nihon shihonshugi hattatsu-shi kōza (Lectures on the History of Development of Japanese Capitalism) corresponding to the Comintern's 1932 Thesis on Japan, I theoretically trace the problem of the "national question," in other words, the theories of the distinguishing or specific characteristics of the Japanese situation through the interwar period and into the early postwar. The "national question" remained the decisive center around which Marxists considered the strategies and tactics of politics, as well as the means and methods of writing history. I examine certain Kōza faction theorists, in particular Yamada Moritarō, in order to theoretically consider their discussion of the national question in terms of the history of the development of Japanese capitalism. What they considered the uneven temporal sequences of development (supposedly "proven" by Japan's supposedly "semi-feudal" social basis in the countryside) can also be read as a debate on the temporalities and epistemic ordering mechanisms implied in the formation and constitution of specific difference itself, a debate on the question of how capital localizes itself, how capital acts as if it is a "natural" outgrowth of a putatively "given" situation. In the pursuit of this broad conceptual point - both the rethinking of the theoretical implications of the national question today and the rethinking of the specifically theoretical implications of the aftermath of the debate on Japanese capitalism - I revisit Uno Kōzō's powerful intervention into the basic questions of this debate through extensive reinvestigations of Marx's work, and take up certain corollary developments in the works of Tanigawa Gan and Tosaka Jun.

▼ This dissertation traces the emergence of the artistic imagination that envisioned an archetype of the city, as visualized in four specific projects created by architects and artists in collaboration between 1953 and 1970 in Japan. Specifically, the selected projects, ranging from a photography book to a manifesto publication, an art and architecture installation, and a temporary expo pavilion, involved photography in varying forms and degrees. This dissertation takes the position that each collaborative project was created to investigate -modernity[DOUBLE VERTICAL LINE] specific to postwar Japan, through the efforts of more than a dozen architects and artists, many of whom were born in the 1930s, often referred to as the yakeato-ha generation. The four projects are analyzed in separate chapters, in the following order: (1) the photographic publication Katsura Nihon ni okeru dentō to sōzō (Katsura: Tradition and Creation in Japanese Architecture) (1960) by photographer Ishimoto Yasuhiro and architect Tange Kenzō; (2) the manifesto of the architectural and design collective Metabolism, titled Metabolism/1960 Toshi e no teian (Metabolism/1960: Proposal for a New Urbanism) (1960); (3) the multimedia installation Erekutorikku rabirinsu (Electric Labyrinth) created for the occasion of the 1968 Milan Design Triennial by architect Isozaki Arata in collaboration with photographer Tōmatsu Shōmei, graphic designer Sugiura Kōhei, composer Ichiyanagi Toshi, and sound engineer Okumura Yukio; (4) the Symbol Zone of the 1970 Japan Expo that consisted of the Omatsuri hiroba (Festival Plaza), the Taiyō no tō (Tower of the Sun) and the space frame, produced by Isozaki Arata, Okamoto Tarō, and Kamiya Kōji and Tange Kenzō, respectively and jointly. Through the above case studies, the dissertation will examine to various degrees the following three areas against the backdrop of Japan's politics between 1953 and 1970: (1) the visions, images and projects created in collaboration; (2) the forms of collectivism and collaboration that facilitated the creation; and (3) the roles of printed and circulated visual materials, in particular photography and prints, often culled from publicly available sources such as newspapers, journals and books.

▼ Centered on the works of three Japanese writers, namely Akutagawa Ryūnosuke (1892-1927), Hayashi Kyōko (1930- ), and Takeda Taijun (1912-1976), and with references to many other writers such as Tanizaki Jun'ichirō, Yokomitsu Riichi, and Takeuchi Yoshimi, in this dissertation I look into those narrative accounts for a changing pattern in their structure of storytelling about semi-colonial China. My project is in many ways indebted to but also fundamentally different from studies of Sino-Japanese cultural exchanges under semicolonialism, in the sense that it is a subtle literary analysis organized around a theoretical problematic, rather than an effort for a comprehensive history. I highlight the politics of storytelling in our texts by examining the temporality and spatiality, narrative devices, linguistic politics, and so on in the writer's storytelling. I take the literary texts discussed in this dissertation as always socially constructed, and as "narrative accounts" that consist of elements of figuration, rather than considering them as the unmediated reproduction of the historical "truth" about the writers or about the Chinese and Japanese societies they traveled/lived in and between. Chapter One is a careful examination of Akutagawa Ryūnosuke's narrative of prewar China, entitled Travels in China. Chapter Two focuses on the politics of storytelling in Hayashi Kyōko's autobiographical novel Michelle Lipstick (1980), read together with several other works of hers. Chapter Three is organized around discussions of three major works on China by Takeda, entitled Sima Qian (Shiba Sen, 1943), The Judgment (Shinpan, 1947), and Shanghai Firefly (Shanhai no hotaru, 1976), while referring to several of his essays written between those years as secondary materials. I reach two conclusions. First, I contend that there is an obvious shift in the ways that prewar and postwar Japanese writers construct the time and space of semicolonial China in their works. And secondly, I hold that the allegorical meaning of storytelling lies in the space it opens up for literary critics and literary historians to access the relations between the writer, the narrator, and the surrounding social space, which, in my opinion, are the reality of the past that we have been trying to find in literature.

▼ This dissertation examines the formation of national subjectivity in South Korea through an analysis of what I call "Korean War memory works." Countering the selective remembering and forgetting of the unfinished war at the level of official discourse, these mnemonic texts have informed the political un/conscious of the divided nation. In tracing how such countermemories contend and negotiate with the statist interpellation of Korean subjects, I direct attention to the trope of the broken family that persistently appears in Korean War narratives and images. While relating this "failed" family romance to a collective mourning process, I also reveal its generative power to produce the fantasy of an originary community. As I unpack the myth of the indivisible family-nation, I further criticize through a feminist psychoanalytic lens the patriarchal symbolic order that underlies the familial imagination employed by oppositional nationalism. The postwar texts selected here for discussion are situated within the historical contexts in which each mode of representation, in association with a distinctive subject of narration, became a hegemonic way of grasping the unresolved past. Chapter One scrutinizes the intellectual subjectivity crystallized in Choi In-hoon's "novels of ideas," and reinterprets them as the unfulfilled Bildungsroman of the "4.19 generation." Chapter Two probes the embodiment of the minjung, foregrounded in the 1980s' protests against domestic dictatorship and US imperialism, through a review of Jo Jung-rae's historical novel Taebaeksanmaek. Chapter Three addresses Park Wansuh's literary testimonies of the Korean War with an emphasis on the daughternarrator's transformation through her confrontation and reconciliation with the (m)other, another witness in silent struggle. Chapter Four discusses the recent phenomenon of Korean War blockbusters, focusing on how such a spectacular memorialization in the "post-Cold War" era deals with the desires and anxieties of contemporary Koreans who in their everyday life encounter simultaneously the haunting legacies of Korea's partition and the new imperatives of global capitalism. By piecing together dispersed memories of the Korean War in these various aesthetic practices, this study seeks to rethink South Korean cultural identity in relation to its postcolonial history of "national division" and the familial structure of its remembrance.

▼ This thesis comprises two separate papers. The first study examines how the media in Japan functioned during the aftermath of the 2011 earthquake and tsunami, and the subsequent Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster. As residents in Japan sought credible information about food safety, their demands culminated in performative food safety demonstrations by politicians and other leaders. The second paper examines the text Tenzo Kyōkun, completed by the Japanese Buddhist monk Dōgen in 1237. It explores Dōgen’s possible motivations for writing it and its lasting legacy, especially regarding issues of sustainability in Japanese monasteries today.

▼ The Praxis of Quotation in Transitional Latin American Literatures traces Latin American literary pragmatism through the figure of quotation. My first chapter analyzes Costa Rican author Yolanda Oreamuno’s novel, La ruta
de su evasión, and its characterization of the choteador(a), a person who practices the art of choteo. I conclude that Oreamuno defines the latter, a form of Central American wit that hinges upon quotation, differently from her Caribbean counterparts, such as Jorge Mañach, as a politically sterilizing discourse and a form of collusion with an authoritarian regime. In my second chapter, I study Mexican author Rosario Castellanos’s Oficio
de tinieblas, and its appropriation of historiography to reconstruct the character of the gossip. I propose that Castellanos democratizes this role, revealing this character to be potentially any member of civil society, while she represents the state of political emergency as one in which gossip is suspended. In Chapter three, I turn to Peruvian author Mario Vargas Llosa’s El Paraíso en la otra esquina, and its depiction of the revolutionary feminist Flora Tristán. The novel transcribes, translates and adapts selections from Tristán’s vast corpus of writing, and attributes to Tristán feelings of shame, guilt and also pride about these writings. I question whether quotation functions as a form of narrative voice. Ultimately, I argue that the novel theorizes a conflict between quotation’s potential to solicit either empathy or political cooperation with its quoted subject, offering the latter as the valid choice. Finally, my fourth chapter turns to the novel, Dora, in which Peruvian author José B. Adolph transcribes the memoirs of Dora Mayer
de Zulen. These are memoirs in which Mayer analyzes the literature of Pedro Zulen, in order to prove Zulen’s status as a messiah of the indigenist movement, and also to prove that she and Zulen were married in the eyes of God. I argue that the novel stages a confrontation between the hermeneutic strategy of Mayer and the philosophy of Zulen; ultimately embracing Zulen’s perspective that the possibility of a correct reading depends upon the political saliency of the message that one reads for. In each chapter, I describe the conditions for the possibility of the use of quotation, the existence of the original text as a material support, and the author’s ability to recur to that text.

▼ This thesis explores textual and visual representations of the military prostitution during the Occupation in Japan, the pan pan girl. Many works on representations of pan pan girls in postwar literature and film interpret the pan pan girl as a symbol of Japan’s defeat and the trauma of the Allied Occupation. Nevertheless, these popular interpretations fail to take into account the way that the figure of the pan pan girl revealed, for both the U.S. and Japan, a tenuous politics of race and sexuality that often dismantles an accepted narrative about the Occupation and the postwar. The pan pan girl, I will argue, is a figure that acts as a point of attachment for a collective fantasy on racial and gender relations during the immediate postwar. My discursive analysis looks to explain the components of what I see as a rhetorical crossroads in the framings of sex and race not only in fictional representation, but also in the context of academic representation. An inquiry into the possibility of understanding representation beyond national concepts of the figure of the pan pan, “Akarui Uncanny” draws from concepts and theories in psychoanalysis, trauma studies, translation studies, and postcolonial feminist criticism to develop upon narratives and analyses of representations of postwar military prostitution.

▼ This thesis discusses the concept of internality in the postwar Okinawan literature of Kiyota Masanobu and Medoruma Shun. Whereas traditional approaches to Okinawan studies presuppose an external power such as sovereignty, this thesis examines the attempt to foreground an internal power within the self so as to unmoor Okinawa from the traps of sovereignty. It does this by first examining writings of the philosopher who first conceptualized the “multitude” as a form of communality that is not organized by sovereign power, that is Baruch Spinoza. With Spinoza’s concept of conatus, the first part of this thesis provides close readings of Kiyota Masanobu’s idea of a primordial “hunger,” affirmative recuperation of “defeat,” the dream of a “we” (bokura), and the repetition of “repatriation and escape” to a commune.
The second part addresses the literature of Medoruma Shun through Michael Hardt and Antonio Negri’s concept of constituent power, Walter Benjamin’s “Critique of Violence,” and most importantly, Frantz Fanon’s development of interiority amidst colonial struggle. Through this theoretical framework, it provides close readings of violence and sexuality in Medoruma’s “Hope” and Rainbow Bird.

▼ Of Clouds and Bodies: Film and the Dislocation of Vision in Brazilian and Japanese Interwar Avant-gardes examines the political impact of film in conceptualizations of the body, vision, and movement in the 1920s and 1930s avant-gardes of Brazil and Japan. Through photographs, films, and different textual genres—travel diary, screenplay, theoretical essay, movie criticism, novel—I investigate the similar political role played by film in these "non-Western" avant-gardes in their relation to the idea of modernity, usually equivalent to that of the "West." I explore racial, political, and historical entanglements that emerge when debates on aesthetic form encounters the filmic medium, theorized and experienced by the so-called "non-Western" spectator. Through avant-garde films such as Mário Peixoto’s Limite (1930), and Kinugasa Teinosuke’s A Page of Madness (1926); the theorizations of Octávio
de Faria and Tanizaki Jun’ichirō; and the photographs and writings by Mário
de Andrade and Murayama Tomoyoshi, this dissertation follows the clash between the desire for a universal and disembodied vision, and the encounter with filmic perception. I argue that the filmic apparatus, as a technology and a commodity, emphasizes an embodied and localized experience of vision and time that revealed the discourse on cultural-historical difference—the distinction between West and Rest, or modern and non-modern—as a suppressive modulator of material power dynamics embedded in racial, class, and gender hierarchies enjoyed by the cosmopolitan elite in the "peripheral" spaces. The temporality of filmic perception becomes a problem for the avant-garde program of "moving forward." The dissertation is punctuated with images that traveled across national territories, building a political theory of the technical image that takes into consideration the experience of a displaced spectatorship: transnational, in racially marked bodies, and within discourses of historical belatedness. Comparing two disparate spaces through a mobile medium that represents movement, I explore the possibilities and limits of nation-bound comparison and area studies, while contributing to debates in film and media theory.
