  • Unit V 1. India As a Champion of World Peace and Justice A
    UNIT V 1. INDIA AS A CHAMPION OF WORLD PEACE AND JUSTICE A peace movement is a social movement that seeks to achieve ideals such as the ending of a particular war (or all wars), minimize inter-human violence in a particular place or type of situation, and is often linked to the goal of achieving world peace. Means to achieve these ends include advocacy of pacifism, non-violent resistance, diplomacy, boycotts, peace camps, moral purchasing, supporting anti-war political candidates, legislation to remove the profit from government contracts to the Military–industrial complex, banning guns, creating open government and transparency tools, direct democracy, supporting Whistleblowers who expose War-Crimes or conspiracies to create wars, demonstrations, and national political lobbying groups to create legislation. The political cooperative is an example of an organization that seeks to merge all peace movement organizations and green organizations, which may have some diverse goals, but all of whom have the common goal of peace and humane sustainability. A concern of some peace activists is the challenge of attaining peace when those that oppose it often use violence as their means of communication and empowerment. Some people refer to the global loose affiliation of activists and political interests as having a shared purpose and this constituting a single movement, "the peace movement", an all encompassing "anti-war movement". Seen this way, the two are often indistinguishable and constitute a loose, responsive, event-driven collaboration between groups with motivations as diverse as humanism, environmentalism, veganism, anti- racism, feminism, decentralization, hospitality, ideology, theology, and faith. There are different ideas over what "peace" is (or should be), which results in a plurality of movements seeking diverse ideals of peace.

  • Alegal: Biopolitics and the Unintelligibility of Okinawan Life
    Alegal: Biopolitics and the Unintelligibility of Okinawan Life Professor Annmaria Shimabuku East Asia Seminar Series Lent 2019 At the University of Cambridge “How long will Okinawa have to wait before the doors of government? How long will Okinawa have to wait before the gates of law?” –Governor Denny Tamaki This elegy was sung by the first mixed-race governor elected in the state of Japan from Okinawa Prefecture, Governor Denny Tamaki, during his 2018 visit to the U.S. He points to Okinawa’s historical waiting before sovereign power, almost there, but ultimately denied entry. Today, Okinawa is neither a colony of the U.S. or Japan, nor is it an equal part of the Japanese state. It hangs ambiguously in a liminal space between sovereignty’s absence and presence. This talk is based on Alegal: Biopolitics and the Unintelligibility of Okinawan Life (Fordham University Press, 2018) and looks forward to a second monograph on Okinawa’s premier female novelist, Sakiyama Tami. Instead of forcing Okinawa to become intelligible through the channels of the nation-state system in hopes of gaining entry into the sovereign world, I ask how life and language in the liminal space before sovereign power can re-define our notion of the political itself. How can we think of an ambiguous entity that is not unified, always changing, and even contradictory, as having political agency? This is precisely the zone of alegality and the politics of life (i.e., biopolitics) at stake in reading Okinawan women of the U.S. military base towns and their mixed-race children who have been traditionally alienated from ideologically-driven politics.
