the sublime perversion of capital Marxist theory and the politics of history in modern japan
2016Co-Authors: Gavin WalkerAbstract:In The Sublime Perversion of Capital Gavin Walker examines the Japanese debate about capitalism between the 1920s and 1950s, using it as a "prehistory" to consider current discussions of uneven development and contemporary topics in Marxist theory and Historiography. Walker locates the debate's culmination in the work of Uno Kozo, whose investigations into the development of capitalism and the commodification of labor power are essential for rethinking the national question in Marxist theory. Walker's analysis of Uno and the Japanese debate strips Marxist Historiography of its Eurocentric focus, showing how Marxist thought was globalized from the start. In analyzing the little-heralded tradition of Japanese Marxist theory alongside Marx himself, Walker not only offers new insights into the transition to capitalism, the rise of globalization, and the relation between capital and the formation of the nation-state; he provides new ways to break Marxist theory's impasse with postcolonial studies and critical theory.

postcoloniality and the national question in Marxist Historiography
Interventions: International Journal of Postcolonial Studies, 2011Co-Authors: Gavin WalkerAbstract:In examining the relation between Marxist Historiography and the theoretical trajectories of postcolonial studies, the problem posed in Marxist theory under the name of ‘the national question’ remains decisive. This question is always emerging around the tensions generated between the logic of capital, the purified circuit-process of capital's self-unfolding, and the local conditions of its deployment, typically the modern form of the nation-state. I argue that the history of the prewar debate on the nature of Japanese capitalism, which was itself the fundamental locus for the development of Marxist Historiography and theory in Japan, can be a suggestive source of clues for the explication of this relation. In examining the theoretical problems that inhere in this historical moment, I attempt to argue that the national question in Marxist theory can be forcefully renewed through a parallax movement with the question of the postcolonial, that is, the irreversibility of the history of colonialism inscribed ...

Historiografía de valores: un debate necesario
Universidade de São Paulo. Faculdade de Filosofia Letras e Ciências Humanas, 2017Co-Authors: Barros CarlosAbstract:Los conceptos de passado, presente, futuro o compromiso del historiador han sido fundamentales para entender la revolución historiográfica del siglo XX protagonizada por la historiografía Marxista y la escuela de Annales. Se trata ahora de actualizarlos de manera autocrítica, recogiendo las prácticas historiográficas actuales más avanzadas. Proponemos sustituir cualquier “historia militante” de tipo político o religioso por una “historiografía de valores”. La generalización en la sociedad global de los grandes valores sociales, políticos y económicos, y los derechos humanos hace posible una nueva referencia deontológica para el oficio de historiador y la utilidad social de la historia en el siglo XXI. The concepts of past, present, future and the Historian commitment has been essential to understand the historiographical revolution of the twentieth century led by Marxist Historiography and the Annales school. It is now time to update self-critical manner, picking the most advanced current historiographical practices. We propose to replace any “militant history” of political or religious by a “Historiography of values”. The generalization in the global society of the great social, political and economic values, and human rights, enables a new ethical reference for the historical profession and social usefulness of history in the XXI century.

Journal of Shanghai University, 2006Co-Authors: Zhang YueAbstract:The development of Chinese Marxist Historiography is closely related to Chinese social revolution.The Historiography study of Chinese Marxist historians helps people understand accurately the nature of Chinese society,put an end to chaotic ideologies and fortify the conviction of continuing revolution,thus embodying the social function of Historiography.But at the same time,it also gives a constant summary of the shortcomings and deficiencies in the combination of theory and practice,attaching more importance to the academic,scientific Historiography,and strengthening and perfecting its academic conception and scientific system.It is significant for the study of Chinese Marxist Historiography to deepen the research for its historical development.

history and social theory notes on the contribution of british Marxist Historiography to our understanding of class
Canadian Review of Sociology-revue Canadienne De Sociologie, 2008Co-Authors: Harvey J KayeAbstract:Concu comme une contribution au dialogue actuel entre l'histoire et la sociologie, cet essai etudie le travail des historiens Marxistes britanniques, Maurice Dobb, Rodney Hilton, Christopher Hill, E.J. Hobsbawm, et E.P. Thompson, des perspectives de leur emploi et developpement du concept de classe. On pretend qu'ils ont contribuea la comprehension de l'histoire et de la classe dans la mesure ou ils ont essaye de corriger le caractere fige de la notion Marxiste de base/superstructure et de celle de sociologie de la classe-comme-categorie en interpretant la notion de classe comme un phenomene historique et en redefinissant l'analyse de classe comme l'analyse de la lutte des classes. Intended as a contribution to the current dialogue between history and sociology, this essay surveys the work of the British Marxist historians, Maurice Dobb, Rodney Hilton, Christopher Hill, E.J. Hobsbawm, and E.P. Thompson, in terms of their use and development of the concept of class. It is argued that through their historical studies and critical essays, in which they have sought to overcome the ‘statics’ of the base-superstructure model of Marxism and the class-as-category model of sociology by emphasizing class as an historical phenomenon and reformulating class analysis as ‘class struggle’ analysis, they have contributed to our understanding of the historical process and to our understanding of class.
