The Femme Fatale and the Exotic Queer within Shinya Tuskamoto\u27s Tetsuo: Gender as Narrative Tool within an Allegory for Post WWII Japan\u27s Industrialized Identity Crisis
No full textWithin Shinya Tsukamoto’s seminal independent horror masterpiece Tetsuo, the viewer’s perceptions of reality and the present are distorted within a temporally disjointed blend of horrific fantasy and banal existence; this instability reflects the vocal and subconscious critiques of historical ontological truths exhibited within the emergent transnational genres of Japanese cyberpunk and American Avant-pop ideologies of the late 1980’s. Author Takayuki Tatsumi uses Shinya Tsukamoto\u27s Tetsuo to illustrate the emergence of the Japanoid, a technologically driven fusion of American and Japanese post-war identity best understood as a manifestation of Donna Haraway\u27s socio-political cyborg. Tatsumi strongly advises avoiding interpretation through a queer lens, proposing that the use of “cyborg” and scrap iron serve as an analogy for the stratification and integration of disenfranchised post WWII Okinawan “scrap apaches.” However, Tetsuo’s prominent homoerotic elements cannot be ignored. Arguably, The film presents as blatantly non-heteronormative; to ignore queerness and instead focus solely on Tatsumi\u27s definition of identity ignores the meaning of masculinity in a patriarchal culture, rendering an incomplete (post)colonial reading. A queer reading clarifies Tsukamoto\u27s take on the contemporary disenfranchisement of the so-called Japanoid identity that Tatsumi embraces. Within Tetsuo, representation of woman as femme fatale and an overt queering of masculinity problematize the traditional heteronormative Japanese identity

Crime is in the air - air pollution and regulation in the UK
No full textThis latest briefing by Professor Reece Walters in the What is crime? series, draws attention to an area of harm that is often absent from criminological debate. He highlights the human costs of air pollution and failed attempts to adequately regulate and control such harm. Arguing for a cross disciplinary ‘eco-crime’ narrative, the author calls for greater understanding of the far-reaching consequences of air pollution which could set in train changes which may lead to a ‘more robust and meaningful system of justice’. Describing current arrangements in place to control and regulate air pollution, Walters draws attention to the lack of neutrality in current arrangements and the bias ‘towards the economic imperatives of free trade over and above the centrality of environmental protection’. While attention is often given to direct and individualised instances of ‘crime’, the serious consequences of air pollution are frequently neglected. The negative effects of pollution on health and well-being are often borne by people already experiencing a range of other disadvantages. In a global and national context, it is often the poor who are affected most. Ultimately, political and economic imperatives have historically helped to shape legal and regulatory regimes. Whether this is an inherent flaw in current systems or something that can be overcome in favour of dealing with more wide-ranging harms is an area that requires further discussion and debate
Working 'in the opposite direction': Joseph Beuys in the field
No full textThis paper will argue that revisiting the ideas and practice of the twentieth-century German artist Joseph Beuys is germane to contemporary discussions of place and human ecology in anthropology. Through an exploration of work undertaken by the artist and a discussion of the influence of Goethe on his practice, it will explore the way in which Beuys' approach to art was informed by a set of methodologies which saw the inner life of the human being and the outer world with which she or he engages as profoundly linked in both physical and psychic terms. Beuys' work points, the author will suggest, to the potential for a myth of fieldwork and a communication of its results that places the anthropologist within a constantly changing world of matter that she or he shapes and transforms and is, in turn, transformed by
