A Case Study in Nationalism and Gender – the Amur Society (Kokuryūkai), 1917-1936

 

Key texts within so-called classical theory of nationalisms show a distinct and telling neglect of the gendered and gendering formative processes involved in nation-building. Several works by feminist scholars since the mid-1980s have contested this view by arguing that neither nationalisms nor the nation can be sufficiently understood without their respective integral gender(ing) parts. Historians of Japan have given the Amur Society (黒龍会, established 1901, disbanded 1946) a prominent place in the history of ultranationalist Japan, but no published study has analyzed the gendered nationalist discourse of the Amur Society yet. The study seeks to critically fill this historiographical gap by focusing on the discourse of masculinity in the name of the nation as exemplified by the male homosocial Amur Society, “the pan-Asian society par excellence” (Sven Saaler), and its founder Uchida Ryōhei (内田良平, 1874-1937). The thesis’ aim is to expound how discourses of masculinity were constructed in the name of the nation and to explore the historical specificity of such discourses whose traces arguably extend to our times.
