Outline of Research at the Start

This project revisits the United States occupation of Japan and its cultural fallout, a somewhat idiosyncratic period in American literary history, in terms of its bearing on the way that we could understand "aerial archives" as a heuristic. Operationally, this term refers to texts, literary or otherwise, that function as archiving systems, representing and relating to a shift in aeriality, as well as corollary shifting grounds for race―and the human race―that it has caused in the planetary imagination.
