Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study elucidated the ways in which poetic articulations of images and figures might constitute the interruptive caesuras of the trans-national mode of governmentality that has been instituted by the U.S. and other states across the Pacific since 1945. Such an argument that situates the critical import of poetic figures and cinematic images in particular in the transpacific politics since 1945 has been evident in the two papers that I published in the American scholarly journals Criticism and Discourse. In these papers among others, I have elucidated the ways in which poetic inscriptions of singularity as that which is irreplaceable and somehow uncanny prohibits us to repeat political catastrophes and to proliferate the vision of an alternative community through and as a resistance to the current schema of nation-states in the transpacific US and East Asia.
