. Betrayal Betrayal is one form of government abuse, and some exiles are ‘created by governments who betray them’ (Shklar 1993a , p. 181). This was the case for many Americans of Japanese ancestry during the Second World War. Those who were interned after the attack on Pearl Harbor were to be released only if they declared themselves loyal to the United States of America and renounced loyalty to Japan. As Shklar notes in her Harvard lectures on political obligation, this episode did not start as a government initiative

These rappers typically perform at alternative cultural centres and human-rights festivals while continuing to work in their hometowns' low-paid and informal economies. Similar translations of hip-hop as a visual, sonic and embodied language of both marginality and glamour have happened around the world. The complex of hip-hop music, fashion and dance in mid-1990s Japan, for instance, made one anthropologist ask: ‘as hip-hop goes global, what happens to the cultural politics of race inherent in American hip

On the other hand, Shklar insists that we must not simply impose moral standards and principles that are alien to the people and the culture to which we are referring. That is why it was, for her, wrong to offer a natural law justification for the trial of Japanese war-time leaders, given that the Japanese people did not share this tradition (Shklar 1964a , p. 179). In contrast, it was, she
later, a Louvre exhibition on ‘human zoos’ (which used to draw European spectators into an imperial gaze in person by beholding people of colour in exoticised tableaus) traced them ‘through western Europe’ into the USA and Japan (Blanchard, Boëtsch and Snoep 2011 : 28). Yet, besides one brief reference to ‘travelling village[s]’ being exported to ‘other northern and eastern European countries, though … less visible’ in the latter (Lemaire et al. 2011 : 292), and counting Vienna among the zoos that hosted them (Schneider 2011 : 131), these transnational studies

In Japan, this tradition continues with the recent emergence of ‘Critical Buddhism’ (Shields, 2011 ). In the

of the philosophy of language in relation to the analysis of discourse and history. In one essay, ‘La philosophie analytique de la politique’ ( 1994c ), initially presented in 1978 in Japan, Foucault spells out the superiority of analytic methods as used in Anglo-American philosophy compared to dialectical methodology, as used by Hegel and Marx. Although Foucault ( 2016b : 22) admitted in the first of his lectures at Dartmouth College in 1980 that he was not an analytic philosopher (adding the phrase ‘nobody is perfect’), as Frédéric Gros notes in his ‘Course
