The Truth About Comfort Women

If this outrageous story is correct, it is, of course, a serious charge against the Japanese people. But at the same time, it is a a great insult to the Korean people. Because even though 200,000 Korean girls were snatched from their homes, not a single act of resistance, to say nothing of rebellion, occurred in Korea. Isnt’t this seriously disgraceful of the Korean people? Nothing, in the history of the world, compares to such cowardice! We have proclaimed to the world that the so-called comfort women story is a pure lie or a fabricating on our website “Society for the Dissemination of Historical Fact” (http://www.sdh-fact.com) and have uploaded three books including Behind the Comfort Women Controversy: How Lies Became Truth by Professor Nishioka Tsutomu, Tokyo Christian University (http://www.sdh-fact.com/CL02_1/39_S4.pdf ), and more than ten essays on this subject. -
The Technological Imaginary of Imperial Japan, 1931-1945
THE TECHNOLOGICAL IMAGINARY OF IMPERIAL JAPAN, 1931-1945 A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Aaron Stephen Moore August 2006 © 2006 Aaron Stephen Moore THE TECHNOLOGICAL IMAGINARY OF IMPERIAL JAPAN, 1931-1945 Aaron Stephen Moore, Ph.D. Cornell University 2006 “Technology” has often served as a signifier of development, progress, and innovation in the narrative of Japan’s transformation into an economic superpower. Few histories, however, treat technology as a system of power and mobilization. This dissertation examines an important shift in the discourse of technology in wartime Japan (1931-1945), a period usually viewed as anti-modern and anachronistic. I analyze how technology meant more than advanced machinery and infrastructure but included a subjective, ethical, and visionary element as well. For many elites, technology embodied certain ways of creative thinking, acting or being, as well as values of rationality, cooperation, and efficiency or visions of a society without ethnic or class conflict. By examining the thought and activities of the bureaucrat, Môri Hideoto, and the critic, Aikawa Haruki, I demonstrate that technology signified a wider system of social, cultural, and political mechanisms that incorporated the practical-political energies of the people for the construction of a “New Order in East Asia.” Therefore, my dissertation is more broadly about how power operated ideologically under Japanese fascism in ways other than outright violence and repression that resonate with post-war “democratic” Japan and many modern capitalist societies as well. This more subjective, immaterial sense of technology revealed a fundamental ambiguity at the heart of technology. -

1 Certain Latitudes Yong Soon Min Five Sites, Some 15 Flights and Major Latitudinal (And Longitudinal) Shifts. Beginning At
Certain Latitudes Yong Soon Min Five sites, some 15 flights and major latitudinal (and longitudinal) shifts. Beginning at the Tropic of Capricorn with the Korean-dominated garment districts of Bom Retiro and Bras in São Paulo; north to the 43rd parallel Soviet- planned city of Almaty nestled beneath the picturesque snowcapped Tien Shan mountains; below the 35th parallel to the bustling Korean business-lined alleys of Osaka under the din of a train line; back on the 43rd parallel to the lively city of Yanji with ubiquitous colorful, bilingual signage; and last but not least at the 34th parallel, driving through the sprawling multi-ethnic streets of Koreatown of Los Angeles. From a bountiful prism of images, these were some of the distilled sights/sites recorded by a research team consisting of myself as curator, an anthropologist, a filmmaker and a photographer-assistant. (Refer to Soo Young Chin's essay for why these five sites were selected and their socio-historic and demographic information. Additionally, a diasporic timeline runs throughout the catalog that tracks the significant events in the histories of the five sites as well as of North and South Korea. [For simplicity, I refer to the Democratic People's Republic of Korea as North Korea and the Republic of Korea as South Korea.] The catalog also includes writings by contributors from each of these five sites.) Our whirlwind research travel was undeniably exhilarating and exhausting. The greatest challenge in such feverish border crossings is the inevitable challenges of linguistic and cultural translations. Frequently, since I have only English fluency, at each site I needed at least two sets of translators--one for Portuguese to Korean and another for Korean to English; the same would be the case with Russian to Korean to English or from Japanese to Korean to English. -
