militarization as a globalizing social technology, this project attempts to
recast how we conceptualize the relationship between Asian/American Studies,
Japanese film, critical race studies, feminist theory and visual studies. The
presentation offers a rearticulation of these fields of knowledge through an
analysis of the avant-garde film, <i><span style='font-style:italic'>Extreme
Private Eros: Love Song 1974</span></i>, by the Japanese director Kazuo Hara.
This film analysis suggests a critical re-vision of the Asian/American relation
across national, linguistic, racial and gendered geographies, and asks, <i><span
style='font-style:italic'>Who can be cast as the proper subjects of the
Asian/American relation?</span></i> Through a consideration of how global
militarization forms the condition of possibility for a field of performatively
“transgressive” feminist cross-racial practices, the presumed
“racial” identity of the (East) Asian subject undergoes a crises of
self-recognition.” </span></font></p>
