TV news segment from Tennessee (Dec 2009) about a strange case in which high-school students negotiated to get swats instead of doing their work. From a TV documentary about the Russian army. Rookie soldiers get a taste of the belt from their mates. One hundred years after Mason’s colorful lithographs abetted a hardening Orientalist discourse in Europe, they were printed by Japanese scholar-bureaucrats charged with investigating the customs of a putatively inferior subject population—the inhabitants of Taiwan.
