Betrayal by idealism and aesthetics: Special Attack Force (kamikaze) pilots and their intellectual trajectories (Part 1).
- Authors
Ohnuki-Tierney, Emiko
- Abstract
This is the first part of a two-part article in which Emiko Ohnuki-Tierney looks at popular and media images of ‘suicide bombers’. in the light of post-9/11 events in the United States. Part 1 looks at the backgrounds of Japanese World War II ‘kamikaze’ pilots, often adduced in discussions of the 9/11 hijackers. In Part 2, to be published in a future issue, Ohnuki-Tierney will address the specific parallels drawn between Pearl Harbor and 9/11 in the US media and the role of intellectuals in wars.
