This special issue aims to channel the energies, tactics, critical
forces, and comparative poetics Masao Miyoshi (1928-2009) carried
out in his work from the 1970s on: coming to terms with his concept
of aftering (the act of prolonging and transforming impacts across
cultural, political, and disciplinary borders) and its temporal,
border-crossing, translational, field-reframing, and revisionary
effects. Contributors do not assess his scholarship and photography
in any memorial, critical, or honorific sense. Instead, they seek
to renew the critical visions that he distributed across various
fields, from Asian to Asian American studies and beyond. Each takes
seriously the mandate inside Miyoshi's work that cultural criticism
envision its work broadly and courageously. Essays address the
state of Japan studies; China's role in twentieth-century
geopolitics, particularly involving Tibet; the critical ethos of
"the planetary" in the Anthropocene; and the Korean film
Snowpiercer, whose plot represents an embodiment of killer
capitalism. Contributors. Tsering Wangmo Dhompa, Arif Dirlik, Harry
Harootunian, Reginald Jackson, Mary Layoun, Christine L. Marran,
George Solt, Keijiro Suga, Stefan Tanaka, Chih-ming Wang, Rob
Wilson
