Wounded Futures:
Pain and the Possibilities of Solidarity

ABSTRACT
In 2006, a small group of Japanese sanitation workers traveled from Tokyo
to Chennai, India to meet with a group they saw as potential comrades—the
Dalit. Over the course of several days, these groups shared stories of pain
and discrimination—the rigors of marginalization told alongside triumphs of
resistance. This article focuses on the politics and aesthetics of this
solidarity project between the Japanese Buraku people and the Dalit of
South Asia. I develop solidarity as a project of rendering groups—here, the
Buraku and the Dalit—commensurate through the operation of extending
sympathy. I argue that the viability of political solidarity hangs on the
cultivation of a “fellow feeling,” a formative process of learning to feel
oneself through the imagined mediating gaze of another: i.e., the
development of a disciplined internal judge of experience. I examine the
rules that permit and constrain that sympathetic traffic, as well as the
moments that lead to its blockage. This talk complicates notions of
circulation and commensuration from linguistic and economic anthropology,
and it critically engages work on recognition and vulnerability. The
conclusion advances an argument for socio-historical connectedness beyond
liberal sympathy.
Keywords
