ASIA 150 Lecture 2: November 2
Document Summary
How to express the inexpressible fissure between trauma and spirit. Is war rational: no, it is almost like taking any disagreement to the extreme, yes, in the way that militaries have been highly bureaucratized. Animation: marked out as foreign and lesser than, becoming a split subject; remade. Just like how baseball is remaking men into athletic, respecting subjects; same to how women were defiled and broken down/remade and commodified into an obedient subject: young japanese men were also commodified. What is the real documentary truth: ritual was for the living and deceased comfort women.
