Naoko Shimazu THE MENTALITY OF THE JAPANESE CONSCRIPT AND MANCHURIA AS »LIEU DE MÉMOIRE«1 The Russo-Japanese War, as the first major international war of the twentieth century, is im- portant to our understanding of the First World War. Significantly we see prescient indications of new social mores, expectations, and new realities of warfare as revealed in the individual ex- periences of Japanese conscripts. At the time, the total Japanese population was about 46,1 mil- lion, out of which 1,09 million men were mobilised. In the end, 73 685 soldiers or 1,6 % of those mobilised died in battle2. The war had cost the Japanese state 1,7 billion yen compared to 200 million yen for the Sino-Japanese War of 1894–1895. Until now, historical connections made between the experiences of the Russo-Japanese War and the First World War have not been fully explored or developed3. This is mainly due to the categorical separation of the two wars, as being distinct and discreet from each other; thus, creating a conceptual gap in the way the two wars are situated historiographically.

Comparing The Slim Shady LP (1999) with his relatively unknown and commercially unsuccessful first album, Infinite (1996), reveals that instead of transcending racial boundaries as some critics have suggested, Eminem negotiated them in ways that made sense to his target audiences. In particular, Eminem’s influential single “My Name Is,” which helped launch his mainstream career, parodied various representations of whiteness to help counter charges that the white rapper lacked authenticity or was simply stealing black culture.
