Mark Driscoll is Associate Professor of Japanese and International Studies at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. He is the editor and translator of Katsuei Yuasa’s Kannani and Document of Flames: Two Japanese Colonial Novels, also published by Duke University Press.
In this major reassessment of Japanese imperialism in Asia, Mark Driscoll foregrounds the role of human life and labor. Drawing on subaltern postcolonial studies and Marxism, he directs critical attention to the peripheries, where figures including Chinese coolies, Japanese pimps, trafficked Japanese women, and Korean tenant farmers supplied the vital energy that drove Japan's empire. He identifies three phases of Japan's capitalist expansion, each powered by distinct modes of capturing and expropriating life and labor: biopolitics (1895–1914), neuropolitics (1920–32), and necropolitics (1935-45). During the first phase, Japanese elites harnessed the labor of marginalized subjects as Japan colonized Taiwan, Korea, and south Manchuria, and sent hustlers and sex workers into China to expand its market hegemony. Linking the deformed bodies laboring in the peripheries with the "erotic-grotesque" media in the metropole, Driscoll centers the second phase on commercial sexology, pornography, and detective stories in Tokyo to argue that by 1930, capitalism had colonized all aspects of human life: not just labor practices but also consumers’ attention and leisure time. Focusing on Japan's Manchukuo colony in the third phase, he shows what happens to the central figures of biopolitics as they are subsumed under necropolitical capitalism: coolies become forced laborers, pimps turn into state officials and authorized narcotraffickers, and sex workers become "comfort women". Driscoll concludes by discussing Chinese fiction written inside Manchukuo, describing the everyday violence unleashed by necropolitics.

評分“資本主義來到人間從頭到腳每個毛孔都滴著血和骯髒的東西。”——馬剋思 在接觸資本主義萌芽的曆史教科書之前,其實我對於這個西方國傢發起並在如今成為主流的主義理念並不熟悉,而大量的文獻也在強調著資本主義原始積纍的過程就是徵服、奴役、掠奪、殺戮過程。我們無從得知在...
評分整本書意在揭露日本自從明治維新後,麵對日益膨脹的欲望,在本國資源有限的情況下,日本一批精英分子隻能把眼光放在自己的鄰居身上。於是,一場非常血腥的侵略戰爭計劃,並開始付諸行動。那麼這本書,作者很想嚮讀者揭露日本想擴大殖民地的醜聞。可是,整本書的問題全部集中在...
