概述

On the occasion of the 80th anniversary of the end of WWII, this course reexamines the socio-political condition of empire/fascism, the nuclear question and Postwar Year Zero (戦後零/ゼロ年), offering a multifaceted narrative of postwar Japan. It unveils the complex interplay between Japan's economic development and its socio-political dynamics, presenting a nuanced view of Japanese society across different decades, ranging from wartime to postwar era, and onward to the present day. The course is structured around key themes and social movements, including 1) Revisiting Japanese Fascism, 2) Thoughts and Technology of the Empire, 3) the Nuclear Question and 4) Postwar Year Zero By leveraging scholarly work post-2000, the course adopts a critical perspective on various issues such as race, nation, hunger, environment, trauma, mobilization, and temporality. This course delves into the intricate relationship between the expansion of the Japanese empire from the 1930s onward and ideas, practices, ideologies, and technologies that propelled it forward. Rather than categorizing specific regimes as fascist, this course aims to critically examine the socio-political conditions and popular support for anti-democratic fascist-like seizure of power against the backdrop of the changing imperial/regional hegemony. It aims to broaden the narrative beyond conventional criticisms of state/imperial violence or the U.S.-Japan hegemony and highlights the voices and experiences that are often overlooked. Through this comprehensive exploration, students will gain insights into the profound and distinct characteristics that have shaped both the Japanese and East Asian society in the postwar era. 適逢戰後八十年,本課程重新審視與帝國/法西斯主義、核問題與「戰後零年」(戦後零/ゼロ年)的政治社會條件相關的課題,提供學生認識並深入理解「戰後日本」的多重視角。本課程重視區域經濟發展與政治社會動態之間的錯綜關係,呈現從戰爭時期、戰後乃至當代等不同時期日本社會的變遷。課程內容圍繞四大關鍵主題與社會運動展開,包括:(1)法西斯問題、(2)帝國的思維與技術、(3)核問題、(4)戰後零年。本課程深入剖析戰爭時期日本帝國的擴張,以及推動其發展的思想、實踐、意識形態與技術。帶領學生掌握上述四大主題在戰後日本及東亞社會產生的深遠影響。課程參照2000年後的學術研究,從種族、國家、環境、飢餓、動員與時間性等議題引介戰後日本與東亞的批判性課題。相對於將特定政權簡單歸類為法西斯,本課程旨在細緻地檢視意識形態背後的政治社會條件,以及大眾對反民主、法西斯奪權的支持或反思乃至對抗,並將其置於帝國/區域霸權變遷的脈絡下分析。課程觸及但不限於對國家/帝國暴力或美日霸權的法律、外交、國際關係的傳統批判,運用的素材包括一部分民間的社會運動以及邊緣群體的史料及論述,以突顯歷史敘事中相對缺乏關注的聲音及經驗。
