On the November 21, 2017, Martin dusinberre gave a talk on “Das japanische Kaiserreich 1868-1945” at the Volkshochschule Zürich. His lecture was the fifth in a Volkshochschule series, “Geschichte Asiens: Imperialismus und Moderne.” It offered an overview of Japanese imperialism based on nine general observations, and pointed out the significance of “temporal progress” to the ways that Japanese intellectuals posited Japan in relation to China and Korea in the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries.
