The Sublime Perversion of Capital: Marxism and the National Question in Modern Japanese Thought THE SUBLIME PERVERSION OF CAPITAL: MARXISM AND THE NATIONAL QUESTION IN MODERN JAPANESE THOUGHT 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 Gavin Walker August 2012 © 2012 Gavin Walker THE SUBLIME PERVERSION OF CAPITAL: MARXISM AND THE NATIONAL QUESTION IN MODERN JAPANESE THOUGHT Gavin Walker, Ph.D. Cornell University 2012 Beginning from the dramatic changes which took place in the early 1930s in the dominant historical logic of Marxism at the time, that is, when the Kōza, or “Lectures” faction published their major historical statement, the 8-volume Nihon shihonshugi hattatsu-shi kōza (Lectures on the History of Development of Japanese Capitalism) corresponding to the Comintern’s 1932 Thesis on Japan, I theoretically trace the problem of the “national question,” in other words, the theories of the distinguishing or specific characteristics of the Japanese situation through the interwar period and into the early postwar. The “national question” remained the decisive center around which Marxists considered the strategies and tactics of politics, as well as the means and methods of writing history. I examine certain Kōza faction theorists, in particular Yamada Moritarō, in order to theoretically consider their discussion of the national question in terms of the history of the development of Japanese capitalism. What they considered the uneven temporal sequences of development (supposedly “proven” by Japan’s supposedly “semi-feudal” social basis in the countryside) can also be read as a debate on the temporalities and epistemic ordering mechanisms implied in the formation and constitution of specific difference itself, a debate on the question of how capital localizes itself, how capital acts as if it is a “natural” outgrowth of a putatively “given” situation. In the pursuit of this broad conceptual point – both the rethinking of the theoretical implications of the national question today and the rethinking of the specifically theoretical implications of the aftermath of the debate on Japanese capitalism – I revisit Uno Kōzō’s powerful intervention into the basic questions of this debate through extensive reinvestigations of Marx’s work, and take up certain corollary developments in the works of Tanigawa Gan and Tosaka Jun. BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH Gavin Walker was born in New York City. He is Assistant Professor of History and East Asian Studies at McGill University in Montréal, Québec. He received his BA and MA degrees from the University of Pennsylvania, where he also taught at the Center for Programs in Contemporary Writing, and received his PhD from Cornell University. He has been a Visiting Researcher at Hitotsubashi University in Tokyo and a Mellon Graduate Fellow at the Society for the Humanities at Cornell. His essays and translations have appeared in various edited volumes and journals such as Shisō, Jōkyō, Gendai Shisō, positions: asia critique, Postcolonial Studies, Traces, Mechademia, Historical Materialism, Rethinking Marxism, Interventions, and Socialism & Democracy, among others. His current work includes The Archive of Revolution: Marxist Historiography in Modern Japan (in collaboration with Katsuya Hirano) and Area and the Regime of Civilizational Difference: Biopolitics, Geopolitics, History, a special issue of positions: asia critique (in collaboration with Naoki Sakai). iv To my parents v ACKNOWLEDGMENTS First let me acknowledge the following sources of support: Cornell University’s Graduate School for two years of the Sage Fellowship, the Cornell Department of Asian Studies for teaching assistantships, the U.S. Department of Education and Cornell East Asia Program for a Foreign Languages and Area Studies Fellowship, the Japan Foundation for a Japan Foundation Doctoral Dissertation Fellowship, and the Society for the Humanities and Mellon Foundation for a Mellon Graduate Fellowship. I am grateful to the members of my committee – first and foremost, Naoki Sakai. I owe a great intellectual debt not only to his theoretical work, but perhaps more importantly to his friendship and personal support, all of which has been a decisive and formative influence on my own thought. Discussions and exchanges with J. Victor Koschmann have been a central source of intellectual motivation: Vic has encouraged, assisted, and discussed many aspects of my project, and his support has been much appreciated. I would like to thank Brett de Bary for many discussions over the years, for the exceptional and close readings of my work that she has given me, and for all her help and support. I owe many thanks to Bruno Bosteels for his support, friendship, discussions, encouragement, and many decisive suggestions on my writing. I would like to deeply thank Yutaka Nagahara for his friendship, his solidarity, his encouragement and assistance, and for his support. It is not excessive to say that Yutaka’s comradeship and our projects together have been one of the deepest influences on me, and his support has given me a sense of energy to write. Katsuya Hirano’s friendship, advice, and our collective work has been one of the most crucial and productive aspects of my time at Cornell. Discussions with Susan Buck- Morss, her assistance, and the influence of her work has been an important part of my intellectual formation. My time at the Society for the Humanities as a Mellon Graduate Fellow was facilitated by the kind assistance and support of Tim Murray, Mary Ahl, Megan Dirks, Celeste Pietrusza, and many others. It was a privilege to spend a year in the beautiful environment of the A.D. White House, and appreciated in particular many conversations with the other fellows, especially Lawrence Chua, Kay Dickinson, Jennifer Bajorek, Joshua Clover, Tim Murray and Michael Jonik, although I benefited from all of the Fellows’ knowledge. In the Department of Asian Studies, I owe particular thanks to Kim Scott and Erin Knuutila for all their assistance. I want to deeply thank Daniel McKee for all his help, support, and conversations. During my time in Japan, I benefited from discussions with many people. I owe thanks to Iyotani Toshio for his personal and institutional support, which enabled me to work in the Graduate School of Social Sciences at Hitotsubashi University as a visiting researcher. I greatly appreciate my discussions with him, his kind providing of books, advice, and space, and his help with all practical matters. I would also like to thank all the members of the Robata-ken, who shared their work, and gave me many useful vi comments and criticisms of my own work. I appreciated the institutional support of Suzuki Mitsuru and Fujimaki Akiko among others at the Japan Foundation. Thanks also to all the members of the Summer 2011 Mellon Foundation research group “Theories of the Subject” for sharing their work and allowing me to share some of mine. Akilano B. Akiwumi-Assani and I spent years intensely debating and thinking together the particulars of Marxist theory and practice, as we strived to become “partisans and artisans.” I deeply appreciate his comradeship. Ronnen Miller’s friendship, and his political and ethical energy gave me a lot of inspiration. Stephen Hastings-King’s friendship and keen sensibility for collective acts of leisure continues to condition my own thought. My exchanges with Christopher Ahn have been a crucial source of political and theoretical discussion – I would like to thank him for his friendship, support, and inexhaustible dialogue. Joshua Young’s friendship, advice, and support have been one of the most important aspects of my time in Ithaca, and I want to thank him here. I owe a lot of thanks to Ken Kawashima for his friendship, our work together, and many discussions on Uno, Marx, politics, music, and more. For discussions, exchanges, and advice, let me also thank: Adachi Mariko, Mark Anderson, Étienne Balibar, Tani Barlow, Sebastian Budgen, Richard Calichman, S. Charusheela, Nina Cornyetz, Deokhyo Choi, Jeff DuBois, Katsuhiko Mariano Endo, Pedro Erber, Lorenzo Fabbri, Mat Fournier, Federico Fridman, Asad Haider, Yukiko Hanawa, Harry Harootunian, Noriaki Hoshino, Makoto Itoh, Christopher Huw Jones, Hirotaka Kasai, John Namjun Kim, Takeshi Kimoto, Thomas Lamarre, Alex Lenoble, Paula Long, Sandro Mezzadra, Osamu Nakano, Duy Lap Nguyen, Oki Kōsuke, Kazuhito Onozuka, Mark Pendleton, Andrea Righi, Jon Solomon, Setsu Shigematsu, Annmaria Shimabuku, Robert Stolz, Dexter Thomas, Alberto Toscano, Keith Vincent, Max Ward, Mark Winchester, Travis Workman, and many more people that I have not listed here, but who I would simply like to thank for being there. In general, this dissertation could not have been written without the constancy provided by The Chapter House. In addition to all these people, places, and events, my parents have always provided me with advice, encouragement, and unconditional love through every moment in my life, and their own literary, political, and aesthetic works have been important influences on me. I would like to save this final space to thank them for always- already exceeding the limited and reactionary conception of “family” as “genetic destiny” and instead teaching me with their love about the critical possibilities of family as friendship. vii TABLE OF CONTENTS Note on Translations ix Three Orientations x Prologue: The Sublime Perversion of Capital 1 1 The Feudal Remnant and the Historical Outside 17 2 Primitive Accumulation, or The Logic of Origin 85 3 Labor Power and the Nihil of Reason: Capital’s Threshold 138 4 The Continent of History and the Theoretical Inside 196 5 The Primal Energy of Origin: On Tanigawa Gan 242 6 Filmic Materiality and the Figuration of History 284 Bibliography 329 NOTE ON TRANSLATIONS Throughout this dissertation, all translations from materials written in languages other than English are mine, unless otherwise indicated.

  • In Defence of Trotskyism No. 31
    In Defence of Trotskyism No. 31 £1 waged, 50p unwaged/low waged, €1.50 The April Theses and Permanent Revolution By Gerry Downing Trotsky’s theory pro- posed that the socialist revolution was necessary because of the combined and unequal character of the Russian economy. It had a highly concentrat- ed working class at the centre of huge modern factories and a weak bourgeoisie at the centre of an overwhelmingly peasant economy. This would enable the work- ing class to take power in Russia first. However, this revolution had to be uninter- rupted: it could only begin on a national scale, but it could not halt at the spontaneous demo- cratic stage. Rather it must proceed directly to socialism. This could only be completed on the international scale, with the victory of the working class in advanced metropolitan coun- tries, particularly Germany. This is the essen- tial political content of the April Theses. Charges of Trotsky’s failure to recognise the vital necessity for a democratic centralist par- ty of professional revolutionaries deeply em- bedded in the leadership of the working class are immediately conceded, as Trotsky himself did in 1917, as soon as he realised his mis- takes and whenever the issue later arose. trade union bureaucracy and their allies in the Where We Stand Labour party leadership as the most funda- WE STAND WITH KARL MARX: ‘The mental obstacle to the struggle for power of emancipation of the working classes must be the working class, outside of the state forces conquered by the working classes themselves. and their direct agencies themselves, we must The struggle for the emancipation of the fight and defeat and replace them with a revo- working class means not a struggle for class lutionary leadership by mobilising the base privileges and monopolies but for equal rights against the pro-capitalist bureaucratic mis- and duties and the abolition of all class leaders to open the way forward for the strug- rule’ (The International Workingmen’s Asso- gle for workers’ power.

  • FROM MAOISM to TROTSKYISM -Reprinted from WORKERS VANGUARD, No.1, October 1971
    iii PREFACE The Communist Horking Collective originated tvhen a small group of Ivlaoists came together in Los Angeles to undertake an intensive investigation of the history of the communist movement in order to develop a strategy for the U.S. ,socialist revolution. Its study of the essentials of Stalinist and Maoist theory led the CWC to the inescapable conclusion that the theory of IISocialism in One Country" is in irreconcilable opposition to revolutionary internationalism. The consolidation of the CWC around Trotskyism and its systematic study of the various ostensible Trotskyist international tendencies was culminated in the fusion between the CWC and the Spartacist League in September 1971. The brief history of the Ct'lC which appeared originally in the first issue of Workers Vanguard (see page viii) alludes to the splits of the CWC's founding cadre from the Revolutionary Union (RU) and the California Communist League (CCL). To convey the genesis of this process, we have included a number of forerunner documents going back to the original split from the CPUSA on the 50th anniver­ sary of the October Revolution. The original resignation of comrade~ Treiger and Miller began the "floundering about for three years ••• seeking in Mao Tse Tung Thought a revolutionary al ternati ve to the revisionists." Treiger went on to help found the CWC; fUller con­ tinued to uphold the dogmatic tradition and declined to even answer the "Letter to a IvIao~_st" (see page 30). Why the Critique of "Tvw Stages"? The lynchpin on which all variants of the fJIaoist "t"t'lO stage" theory of revolution rest--whether applied to the advanced countries or to the colonial world--is collaboration with the ruling class or a section of it during the initial "stage." Early in its develop­ ment the CWC had rejected the conception as it was applied to the Un1 ted States, but believed it remained applicable to the col'onial revolution.

  • The Revolutionary Internationalist League on Workers Power
    The Revolutionary Internationalist League On Workers Power RIL on Workers Power in 1995 “This position has got the LRCI leadership into a series of hopeless tangles and convoluted arguments, as their positions have zigzagged in response to the shifting circumstances of the Bosnian war. One general feature has become steadily more pronounced however, the adaptation to the feeling among sections of liberal western opinion that ‘our' governments must ’do something' – a sentiment that plays directly into the hands of imperialism. So now we have the ludicrous position of the LRCI trying to sound revolutionary, and calling for the UN and NATO out of the Balkans and condemning the bombing, while at the same time demanding that 'our' government sends arms to the Bosnian forces and opens the borders to (Islamic) ‘volunteers‘ going to fight with them. In other words Workers Power does not want the imperialists to fight in the Balkans; they just want them to get their clients and proxies to do the fighting! No wonder that this reactionary nonsense has blown the LRCI apart and exposed it as an unprincipled bloc.” That is exactly what they did/do in Libya and Syria today! This document could be published by us but it would need a long introduction to clarify the differences on the questions of the Anti Imperialist United Front and Special Oppression. But is has very valuable insights on the politics of Workers Power and the RCIT today. This documant was written by Nick De Marco, now a rich Barrister who has abandonded all revolutionary politics. He defends rich FA clubs against players compensation claims and is/was a director of Queens Park Rangers.

  • Programme Communiste – Trotskyism
    Programme Communiste – Trotskyism – Part III Critique of the Transitional Programme "The economic prerequisite for the proletarian revolution has already in general achieved the highest point of fruition that can be reached under capitalism. Mankind’s productive forces stagnate". This is the famous statement that sounds like a thunderclap from the first lines of the programmatic document that Trotsky wrote in 1938 for the founding conference of the Fourth International. The productive forces have reached the highest point they can reach under capitalism; the masses tend to become more and more revolutionary, but are held back by opportunist leadership; capitalism being in permanent crisis, it can no longer be a question of any rise in the standard of living of the masses. This is the diagnosis of the first three chapters of this programme which lead to the conclusion that from now on, for the whole era of the decline of capitalism, the role of the Marxists is to present to the masses a transitional programme. "The strategic task of the next period – pre-revolutionary period of agitation, propaganda and organization – consists in overcoming the contradiction between the maturity of the objective revolutionary conditions and the immaturity of the proletariat and its vanguard (the confusion and disappointment of the older generation, the inexperience of the younger generation). It is necessary to help the masses in the process of the daily struggle to find the bridge between present demand and the socialist programme of the revolution. This bridge should include a system of transitional demands, stemming from today’s conditions and from today’s consciousness of wide layers of the working class and unalterably leading to one final conclusion: the conquest of power by the proletariat".

  • The Cinema of Virtuality: the Untimely Avant-Garde of Matsumoto Toshio
    The Cinema of Virtuality: The Untimely Avant-Garde of Matsumoto Toshio by Joshua Scammell A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Film Studies Carleton University OTTAWA, Ontario © 2016, Joshua Scammell Abstract: Scholarship on the avant-garde in Japanese cinema tends to focus on the 1960s. Many scholars believe that the avant-garde vanishes from Japanese cinema in the early 1970s. This study aims to disrupt such narratives with the example of filmmaker/theorist Matsumoto Toshio. Matsumoto is one of the key figures of the 1960s political avant-garde, and this study argues that his 1970s films should also be considered part of the avant-garde. Following Yuriko Furuhata who calls the avant-garde of the 1960s “the cinema of actuality,” this thesis calls the avant-garde of the 1970s “the cinema of virtuality.” The cinema of virtuality will be seen to emphasize a particular type of contiguity with the spectator. This strategy will be discussed in relation to four of Matsumoto’s short films: Nishijin (1961), For the Damaged Right Eye (1968), Atman (1975), and Sway (1985) and a brief discussion of Funeral Parade of Roses (1969). ii Acknowledgements: In the classical world, artists often had their pupils do the actual work, while they took all the credit for the original idea. Working with Aboubakar Sanogo is almost the opposite. No words can express my gratitude towards his generous commitment of time and energy towards this project, and his nurturing open-mindedness to my more abstract ideas.
