Japan: The "other", lesser-known 1968
Gavin Walker is Associate Professor at McGill University. He is a member of the editorial collective of positions: asia critique and author of The Sublime Perversion of Capital.
Praise for The Sublime Perversion of Capital:"What is capital? What
is its relation with the 'world' and with the nation? What is its
origin, its limit, and its 'other'? Reading the 'debate on Japanese
capitalism' in the 1920s and 1930s against the grain of
contemporary concerns, Gavin Walker invites us to a breathtaking
intellectual journey. He provides a masterful interpretation of a
crucial historical debate and makes a landmark contribution to our
understanding of global capitalism and to the forging of a new
project of liberation."
*Sandro Mezzadra, coauthor of, Border as Method, or, The
Multiplication of Labor*
Praise for The Sublime Perversion of Capital: "Gavin Walker's
superb The Sublime Perversion of Capital is a brilliantly
imaginative recovery of Marx's worldly vocation and the original
premises of historical materialism dedicated to combining the
immediacy of local contemporary circumstances with the global reach
of capital. He realizes this singularly vital program by reflecting
on the writings of the economist Uno Kozo, especially his thinking
on logic and history, as they intervened and culminated in the
famous Marxian debate on capitalism in Japan's 1920s and 1930s in a
context sparked by a rapidly uneven passage into capitalist
modernity and its spillover into imperialism."
*Harry Harootunian, author of, Marx After Marx: History and Time in
the Expansion of Capitalism*
