Notes

Summary: "Archaism and Actuality considers the relation of capitalist formation and fascism while continuing Harry D. Harootunian's theorization of subsumption-the ways that capitalism integrates and redirects pre-existing social, cultural, and economic practices. Harootunian proposes that all societies in the orbit of capitalism were subjected to the regime of uneven and combined development, and highlights Japan as an example of this phenomenon. The book engages the theoretical work of Marx and Gramsci and situates its analysis around the history of Japan, specifically in terms of three moments: the Meiji Restoration of 1868, the 1930s world crises and rise of Japanese fascism, and Japan's postwar afterlife. Harootunian uses the titular archaism as a framework for thinking through these historical moments and their use of the past in replacing or guiding the present"--Provided by publisher
