My first article, which critiques the adapatation-resilience development paradigm by tracing its genealogy to prewar Japanese labor science and its influence on everything from austerity policies to anti-airconditioning, is now OA on cssh.

I think we are at a historiographical inflection point where there is a huge comparative advantage to reading old secondary work (like 1930s-1970s).

@left_plain it has felt like i'm applying to jobs all over again: "we've moved on to more qualified candidates" "sorry we didn't like your profile as much as the other applicants"

@richten_nach Maruyama Masao for sure, Harootunian's Overcome by Modernity, Zen at War, an underrated one in my view is Kim Brandt's Kingdom of Beauty, and if i can be tacky i think my article is useful https://t.co/K2mLJFgb27

@NewLeftEViews @cszabla Tokyo's great but what @cszabla said about buses applies to many urban areas outside of Tokyo, not just depopulated rural areas. and many transit improvements introduced to Tokyo/Osaka take a very long time to find their way to regional cities.
