| Research Abstract |
As David Gaeber points out, in the global justice movements, the protestors act as though they are already living in a free society and this principle of movement is called prefigurative politics. Prefigurative politics is sharply contrasted with the leftist politics of traditional type, who views social movements as mere means used to support a certain cause. In this project, I focus on how the idea of prefigurative politics has spread in social movements in Japan, especially triggered by the action against Toya G8 summit in 2008. As a conclusion, I point out that it is important for the protesters to invent and share 'infrastructures' of prefigurative politics such as 'safer space.' This is one of the conditions of prefigurative politics. In addition to this, I show that the need for such 'infrastructures' to exist have been recognized, but, at the same time, I ponder upon how difficult it is for the social movements in Japan to accept this need.
