6) Mišimova literatura akce

Pojďme se nyní zaměřit na styčné body Mišimovy literatury a fašismu z literárního úhlu pohledu. Pokud bychom chtěli popsat Mišimovu tvorbu jedním slovem, dozajista bychom užili termínu literatura “akce.” Zejména jeho pozdní práce se vyznačují silnými aktivistickými tendencemi. Read more …

Japan, Refutation of Neoliberalism

8,060 words

No-one wants to talk about Japan these days. The conventional wisdom is that the bloom went off Japan’s economic rose around 1990 and that the utter superiority of neoliberal capitalism was vindicated by the strong performance of the American economy during the 1990s. Read more …

The Soul of Jack London, Part 2

Johann Heinrich Fuseli, "Thor, in the boat of Hymir, battering the Midgard Serpent," 1790

3,422 words

Part 2 of 4

Race was of utmost importance to London. His unshakable views on the subject were expressed ardently even in some of his works of socialist propaganda. A good sampling of London’s racial perspective at the turn of the century may be found in his letters to Cloudesley Johns. Johns, a young post-office employee from southern California, wrote London a fan letter in 1899, praising one of the latter’s magazine articles. The result was a strong friendship that lasted until London’s death. Read more …

Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters

3,747 words

Similar things happen in the United States too: an alienated, bookish radical right-winger takes up weight-lifting and martial arts, creates a private militia, dreams of overthrowing the government, then dies in a spectacular, suicidal, and apparently pointless confrontation with the state. In the United States, however, such people are easily dismissed as “kooks” and “losers.” Read more …
