Critique and Cosmos : After Misao Miyoshi Paperback / softback
Edited by Rob Wilson, Paul A. Bove
Paperback / softback
Description
This special issue aims to channel the energies, tactics, critical forces, and comparative poetics Masao Miyoshi (1928–2009) carried out in his work from the 1970s on: coming to terms with his concept of aftering (the act of prolonging and transforming impacts across cultural, political, and disciplinary borders) and its temporal, border-crossing, translational, field-reframing, and revisionary effects.
Contributors do not assess his scholarship and photography in any memorial, critical, or honorific sense.
Instead, they seek to renew the critical visions that he distributed across various fields, from Asian to Asian American studies and beyond.
Each takes seriously the mandate inside Miyoshi's work that cultural criticism envision its work broadly and courageously.
Essays address the state of Japan studies; China's role in twentieth-century geopolitics, particularly involving Tibet; the critical ethos of "the planetary" in the Anthropocene; and the Korean film Snowpiercer, whose plot represents an embodiment of killer capitalism. Contributors. Tsering Wangmo Dhompa, Arif Dirlik, Harry Harootunian, Reginald Jackson, Mary Layoun, Christine L.
Marran, George Solt, Keijiro Suga, Stefan Tanaka, Chih-ming Wang, Rob Wilson
