In the past two decades, the rise of a particular commonplace in public debate has emerged on both the Left and the Right: the threat of ‘the stupid.’ Far from a throwaway ad hominem, stupidity has become a key trope for both explaining and criticising the election results, culture wars and the advances of post-truth. But how do we negotiate ‘the stupid’ in a meaningful way? Does critique and resistance depend on the mobilisation of intellect, and what does the prevalence of stupidity as a commonplace suggest about the risks of such a mobilisation? What are the resources to work through it outside of condemnation or insult? Taking ‘the stupid’ as a primary figure in today’s cultural rhetoric, Tom Grimwood uses internet memes, film and media, alongside philosophical inquiry, to present a series of interventions in the assumptions of what makes ‘the stupid’ dangerous and how to move beyond these assumptions into effective resistance.

The China Problem in Postwar Japan Japanese National Identity and Sino-Japanese Relations


Free Download The China Problem in Postwar Japan: Japanese National Identity and Sino-Japanese Relations By Robert Hoppens, Christopher Gerteis
2015 | 312 Pages | ISBN: 1472575466 | PDF | 2 MB
The 1970s were a period of dramatic change in relations between Japan and the People’s Republic of China (PRC). The two countries established diplomatic relations for the first time, forged close economic ties and reached political agreements that still guide and constrain relations today. This book delivers a history of this foundational period in Sino-Japanese relations. It presents an up-to-date diplomatic history of the relationship but also goes beyond this to argue that Japan’s relations with China must be understood in the context of a larger "China problem" that was inseparable from a domestic contest to define Japanese national identity. The China Problem in Postwar Japan challenges some common assertions or assumptions about the role of Japanese national identity in postwar Sino-Japanese relations, showing how the history of Japanese relations with China in the 1970s is shaped by the strength of Japanese national identity, not its weakness.
