Mark Driscoll is Associate Professor of Japanese and International Studies at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. He is the editor and translator of Katsuei Yuasa’s Kannani and Document of Flames: Two Japanese Colonial Novels, also published by Duke University Press.
In this major reassessment of Japanese imperialism in Asia, Mark Driscoll foregrounds the role of human life and labor. Drawing on subaltern postcolonial studies and Marxism, he directs critical attention to the peripheries, where figures including Chinese coolies, Japanese pimps, trafficked Japanese women, and Korean tenant farmers supplied the vital energy that drove Japan's empire. He identifies three phases of Japan's capitalist expansion, each powered by distinct modes of capturing and expropriating life and labor: biopolitics (1895–1914), neuropolitics (1920–32), and necropolitics (1935-45). During the first phase, Japanese elites harnessed the labor of marginalized subjects as Japan colonized Taiwan, Korea, and south Manchuria, and sent hustlers and sex workers into China to expand its market hegemony. Linking the deformed bodies laboring in the peripheries with the "erotic-grotesque" media in the metropole, Driscoll centers the second phase on commercial sexology, pornography, and detective stories in Tokyo to argue that by 1930, capitalism had colonized all aspects of human life: not just labor practices but also consumers’ attention and leisure time. Focusing on Japan's Manchukuo colony in the third phase, he shows what happens to the central figures of biopolitics as they are subsumed under necropolitical capitalism: coolies become forced laborers, pimps turn into state officials and authorized narcotraffickers, and sex workers become "comfort women". Driscoll concludes by discussing Chinese fiction written inside Manchukuo, describing the everyday violence unleashed by necropolitics.
东亚的日本,原来依附于中华帝国,但随着明治维新的快速推进,经济、军事,都逐步走上现代化——某种程度上,也即西方化——的道路。甲午中日战争,中华帝国败给昔日瞧不起的日本,逐步沦为半殖民地社会。在此之后,日本将侵略的重心放在中国,从租借个别城市个别区域到占领某...
評分中国读者也许会感到吃惊:本书针对日本帝国主义的批判性分析恰恰是我在日本期间的学习成果。我从1994年至1998年与中原道子、成田龙一、柄谷行人三位日本教授共事,除了上课以外,还参加东京各种工作坊和学术会议。因此,我不得不“忘记”自己曾经在美国学到的东亚史知识。这几...
評分如果本书再翻译得精准些,我觉得至少是九分,少一分,是给翻译的,翻得有些部分有点太过生硬,有些部分玄之又玄,有些部分答非所问。 整本书从生命政治,神经政治,死亡政治三部分,讨论了日本从明治以后,随着资本积累引发的思想意识变化,以及变化最终反作用于资本扩张异化扭...

評分去年在日本访学时,曾听过一位在日台湾商人的演讲。他是台南人,在日治时代长大,机械工程学校毕业后成为技术员,为日本空军维修战机。一九四五年盟军进逼,台湾不守,他随日军一起撤退到到本土,战败后定居东京,生儿育女,经商也颇有成就。那天一个多小时的演讲其实乏善可陈...

评分對此類學術,角度很帥,但是沒有正義,沒有人的過程,成為一場道德毛片
评分....and this is what happens with tenure, weed, and a bad editor. A pity really, since some of the ideas can be rather interesting.
评分中間的neuropolitics纔是一般意義上的エロ・グロ・ナンセンス,比較有意思(cf. Hill on neurasthenia),可惜和前後兩部分不太連得起來。從biopolitics到necropolitics的大敘事更像新(?)瓶裝舊酒,無論福柯、馬剋思還是滿篇的pomo witticism好像都沒給論點帶來太大增益(福柯的faire vivre全程拼成faire vivir,好幾個名字也沒轉寫對,editor該扣工資
