The Disagreement of Being, A Critique of Life and Vitality in the Meiji Era Sean Koji Callaghan Doctorate of Philosophy Department of East Asian Studies University of Toronto November 2012 Abstract My dissertation involves a critique of the concept of life or seimei as it emerged in modern use during the Meiji era (1868-1912). Specifically, I have outlined the conditions of possibility for thinking seimei at particular moments in the development of the modern, market-centered Japanese nation-state in historical and literary terms such that I can begin to use these conditions to think its impossibilities. In short, I argue that a central condition of possibility for thinking life in its modern, historical form is a process of individuation that takes hold of and shapes bodies at an ontological level. By critiquing life and its ontology of individuation, I unearth the traces of an impossible “apriori collectivism” - that is, a collectivism not merely reducible to a congregation of individuals, but originally collective – buried under the calls for individual freedom, self-help, and industrialization that were at the heart of the Meiji era’s modernization project. I track this apriori collectivism in a lineage relating (through non-relation) the mutual aid societies or mujin-kô of the Edo period to the life insurance industry of the Meiji 10s and 20s. I then use this material history of life as backdrop to my study of the literary trends in the latter decades of the Meiji era, and end with a consideration of the political and aesthetic implications seimei has for thought by taking up a study of Iwano Hômei’s Shinpiteki hanjûshugi (Mystical Demi-animalism). ii Acknowledgments There is such a strange tendency in acknowledgments only to tip one’s hat to those one felt had a hand in promoting the creation of a work like a dissertation. Reading about so much gratitude at the beginning of a text, I always wonder who were the figures that were left out of this account, since, in my case at any rate, I was “helped” just as much by those that hindered my progress, as I was by those who were in earnest support of my studies. Because I can think of nothing that expresses more the principle of apriori collectivism as engaging in a project. Whether it is a matter of research or artistic performance or simple work, a project and its products are always given expression through a series of pressures shaping the conditions according to which the project can find itself. It has been my experience that the site of production for these pressures are often more ambiguous than I might initially want to believe, while the authors of instigation were not always ones that I might have wanted to acknowledge. For the doctoral student, our instigators are just as much the figures we hold as our “enemies” to thought as our “friends,” because the former more than anyone gives us our reasons for thinking real definition. They are those that did what they could to delegitimate our position, and in so doing made us only more aware of the need to critique legitimacy itself. They are the hindrances that hid in the words of our colleagues that made us stop in our tracks, and suddenly think. At last, finally, think! If I am to acknowledge those that made this work possible, I must acknowledge those that hindered as much as helped, because they defined the community of thought that gave birth to this work, and I am indebted to their contributions. Often the best advice came from those who disagreed with me. These, the helpful and the hindering, are only the few in comparison to the wealth of aid I received from people whose names I never knew but whose own daily projects and labors interwove with my own in ways for which I can hardly even begin to account. These nameless contributors and their creations are just as much a part of this project as those whose names I can bring to mind, and it is to these creators that I owe a deep gratitude. My true wish, however, is that I would never have need to acknowledge. My wish is that projects would emerge without names, or that the project itself became the name iii designating a collective univocity that found its place in the world temporarily, and then dispersed. That its trace left behind would stand like ancient burnt stones marking a forgotten joyous occasion. That these names would say more about a world moving forever towards the fluid creation of collectivities rather than their decadence into selves. For now, I give the names simply to express a deep gratitude, and make of this gratitude my ongoing wish for the coming community: Janice Brown, Linda “Ma” Callaghan, Miyoko “Sis” Callaghan, Patrick “Bro” Callaghan, Robyn “Sis” Callaghan, Eric Cazdyn, David Chai, Paul Chin, Craig Colbeck, Greg Depies, Mark Driscoll, Ian Drummond, Norma Escobar, Olga Fedorenko, Takashi Fujitani, Christina Han, Fred Judson, Kie Kajihara, Ken Kawashima, Sunho Ko, Uno Kuni’ichi, Lori Lytle, Annie Manion, Maryon Mclary, Mark McConaghy, Arthur Mitchell, Ilona Molnar, Ryan Moran, James Poborsa, Janet Poole, Baryon Posadas, Paul Roquet, Gail Russel, Alex Schweinsberg, Celia Sevilla, Vincent Shen, David Stiles, Tooru Takahashi, Max Ward, Tim Yang, David Zadak, Denny Zadak, and Georgina Zadak. And to the one person who is the constant reminder that my wishes are not just idle dreams, but have a real texture and tension in the world, if only on a very small and private scale, to the one who is always my joyful displacement, Michelle Callaghan. This work was made possible by scholarships from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council, and the Japan Foundation. Their funding and support was greatly appreciated. iv A Note on Translations Though I have provided the standard English translations of texts where these are available, all translations of Japanese texts without a cited translator are my own, and I take full responsibility for their accuracies and inaccuracies. In terms of Japanese names, I have followed the Japanese convention of placing family names before given names (e.g. Tayama Katai), except in instances where the Japanese author publishes outside of Japan in a language other than Japanese, or is more commonly referred to according to a name order in which the family name follows given names (e.g. Stefan Tanaka). All romanizations of Japanese terms follow the Revised Hepburn format. v Table of Contents Abstract ii Acknowledgments iii A Note on Translations v List of Tables vii Introduction 1 Part I.

I further agree that permission.for extensive copying of this thesis for scholarly purposes may be granted by the Head of my Department or by his representatives.

Department of Polit_i_g^j;_s_gience The University of British Columbia Vancouver 8, Canada Date September, 2, 1966 ii ABSTRACT The emergence since World War II of many new states in Asia and Africa has stimulated a renewed interest of sociology and political science in the non-western social and political process and an enhanced concern with the problem of political development in these areas. The source of contemporary concepts of political development can be located in the ideas of the social philosophers of the nineteenth century. Maine, Toennies, Durkheim, and Weber were the first social observers to deal with the phenomena of social and political development in a rigorously analytical manner and their analyses provided contemporary political development theorists with seminal ideas that led to the identification of the major properties of the developed political condition.

See Kama Maclean, “The Portrait’s Journey: The Image, Social Communication and Martyr-Making in Colonial India,” in this issue of the JAS. AN OVERVIEW OF THE ISSUE November has long been a time for big picture writing at JAS, since this is when we traditionally carry a printed version of the Presidential Address deliv- ered at the springtime Annual Meeting of the AAS. Presidents of the Association have the freedom to take any approach they want in their contribution to the issue, but they tend to cast a wide net, thematic and conceptually, while generally focusing on the region they were elected to represent. This year’s Presidential Address, K. SIVARAMAKRISHNAN’s “Environment, Law, and Democracy in India” is no different. It provides a sweeping look at a general subject (law and the environment) that is of intense contemporary concern throughout Asia and indeed the world, and in the process it grapples with other subjects of wide inter- est (such as the forces that work to strengthen or undermine civil society). It is a bracing look at the “processes that make Indian democracy work” that stands up impressively on its own, but that is also worth reading in tandem with several essays that have run in these pages in recent years, including both those that com- prised the forum on the rule of law in China and India in JAS 68 (1): 55–133, and the Asia Beyond the Headlines contribution by Pranab Bardhan in JAS 68 (2): 347–57.

  • 4 Analyse Des Bildes Der Bösartigen Alten Frauen in Der
    4 Analyse des Bildes der bösartigen alten Frauen in der Edo- zeitlichen Trivialkultur 4.1 Allgemeine Charakteristika der trivialen Kulturproduktion 4.1.1 Inhalte und Darstellungsweisen: Fantastik, Zerstückelung, Sensa- tionslust, und ihr problematischer Realitätsbezug Kehren wir nun zu den Edo-zeitlichen Abwandlungen des Themas zurück, so muss zunächst gesagt werden, dass jene Genres der bürgerli- chen Kultur, der die in Kapitel 2 beschriebenen Werke mit ihren Figu- ren bösartiger, mörderischer alter Frauen zuzurechnen sind – sei es das weite Feld der Holzschnitte, die Heftchen-Literatur oder das Kabuki- und Puppentheater –, von der Forschung bislang nur unzureichend be- rücksichtigt worden sind, zumal was ihre Inhalte und Bezüge zur sozia- len Realität betrifft. Zwar sind Kabuki und Bunraku als Theaterformen Teil der Weltkultur geworden und haben, was Darstellungstechniken betrifft, westliche Theatermacher auf der Suche nach Auswegen aus einer gewissen Sackgasse beeinflusst, in die zu viel Realismus und Sachlichkeit das europäische Theater geführt zu haben schienen. Doch richtet sich dieses Interesse auf Aufführungspraxis und Ästhetik beider unterschiedlicher, wenn auch einander nahe stehender Gattungen. Inhaltliche Untersuchungen waren und bleiben eher selten, denn, wie es Faubion Bowers 1956 formulierte, kursieren vorwiegend zwei Mei- nungen über das Kabuki: „die eine, die der westlichen Besucher, lautet, dass der Inhalt nicht wichtig ist, weil Kabuki vor allem ein Spektakel ist; die andere, meist von Japanern geäußerte, besagt, dass

  • Recipe Books in North America
    Greetings How have Japanese foods changed between generations of Nikkei since they first arrived in their adopted countries from Japan? On behalf of the Kikkoman Institute for International Food Culture (KIIFC), Mr. Shigeru Kojima of the Advanced Research Center for Human Sciences, Waseda University, set out to answer this question. From 2015 to 2018, Mr. Kojima investigated recipe books and conducted interviews in areas populated by Japanese immigrants, particularly in Brazil and North American, including Hawaii. His research results on Brazil were published in 2017 in Food Culture No. 27. In this continuation of the series, he focuses on North America. With the long history of Japanese immigration to North America, as well as Nikkei internments during WWII, the researcher had some concerns as to how many recipe books could be collected. Thanks to Mr. Kojima’s two intensive research trips, the results were better than expected. At a time of increasing digitization in publishing, we believe this research is both timely and a great aid in preserving historical materials. We expect these accumulated historical materials will be utilized for other research in the future. The KIIFC will continue to promote activities that help the public gain a deeper understanding of diverse cultures through the exploration of food culture.

    THE BANSHO SHIRABESHO: A TRANSITIONAL INSTITUTION IN BAKUMATSU JAPAN by James Mitchell Hommes Bachelor of Arts, Calvin College, 1993 Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of The College of Arts and Sciences in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Interdisciplinary Master of Arts (IDMA) in East Asian Studies University of Pittsburgh 2004 UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH COLLEGE OF ARTS AND SCIENCES This thesis was presented by James Mitchell Hommes It was defended on December 8, 2004 and approved by Thomas Rimer, Professor, East Asian Languages and Literature David O. Mills, Professor, East Asian Languages and Literature Richard Smethurst, Professor, History ii THE BANSHO SHIRABESHO: A TRANSITIONAL INSTITUTION IN BAKUMATSU JAPAN James M. Hommes, MA University of Pittsburgh, 2004 In the Bakumatsu period (1853-1868), Japan experienced many changes and challenges. One of these challenges was regarding how to learn from the West and how to use that knowledge in the building of Japan. One of the most important institutions for such Western learning was the Bansho Shirabesho, an institution created by the Tokugawa government in 1856 to translate Western materials, provide a school for Japanese scholars, and to censor the translations of Western works. This institution eventually gave language instruction in Dutch, English, French, German, and Russian and it also gave instruction in many other practical subjects such as military science and production. This thesis examines in detail how the Shirabesho was founded, what some of the initial difficulties were and how successful it was in accomplishing the tasks it was given. It also assesses the legacy of the Shirabesho in helping to bridge the transition between the Tokugawa period’s emphasis on feudal rank and the Meiji’s emphasis on merit.

  • Northern Territories” Dispute
    The Indigenous Ainu of Japan and the “Northern Territories” Dispute by Scott Harrison A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfillment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Master of Arts in History Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2007 © Scott Harrison 2007 Author’s Declaration I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract This thesis re-examines the territorial dispute between Japan and Russia, the so-called “Northern Territories” issue, through a reinterpretation of the role of the indigenous Ainu of Japan. An exploration of Ainu history and historiography reveals that the long- standing emphasis on Wajin-based legitimacy of rule and annexation of northern areas was replaced by historical amnesia concerning the role and status of the Ainu. Discussion focuses on an interpretation of Ainu understandings of local, regional/national and international historical events. This approach underscores the importance of de-nationalising History by integrating the important perspectives of Indigeneity. It asserts, further, that the understanding of these events and processes require a broader disciplinary prism than that provided by the study of history. The preponderance of nation-based studies, and not only in the field of History, has seriously inhibited the analysis of historical phenomena involving Indigenous peoples, in this case the Ainu. The study of the Northern Territories issue offers, then, both a new perspective on the history of this important dispute and an illustration of the importance of broadening traditional academic studies in disciplines such as History, Anthropology, Ecology, Political Science, International Relations and Law to incorporate Indigenous perspectives and experience.
