@article{oai:u-ryukyu.repo.nii.ac.jp:02008276, author = {新城, 郁夫 and Shinjo, Ikuo}, issue = {2}, journal = {International journal of Okinawan studies}, month = {Dec}, note = {To this day, there has not been a sustained critical study of Nakaya Kokichi, a writer whose work illustrates a singular unfolding of intellectual thoughts in Okinawa under the US military occupation. My paper sheds light upon the political potential of Nakaya’s thought through a close reading of his posthumous collection, Namae Yo Tatte Aruke (Let Your Name Stand Upright and Walk). In doing so, I pay particular attention to the three following aspects of his thought. First, Nakaya’s texts reveal the violent nature of “interpellation” that sustains the system of the US-Japan military alliance. Nakaya’s work exposes the ways in which such interpellation at once subjectivates those who live in Okinawa and, therefore, prohibits them from becoming a political subject. Second, Nakaya’s writings critique the politics of Okinawan nationalist identity and seek an alternative political future in the solidarity among the non-subjectivated bodies. Third, as Nakaya’s thought suggests a paradoxical possibility of kakushi or a death in a foreign land even in one’s own socalled “homeland,” it helps resituate Okinawa as an intersection of “refugees” who remain unable to belong to nation-states and of their “histories that open up laterally.”, 論文}, pages = {23--36}, title = {故郷で客死すること : 『中屋幸吉遺稿集 名前よ立って歩け』論}, volume = {3}, year = {2012} }
