For more on TakashiMurakami, see:Japan Societya way to apply the lens of the Kill the Past slogan,and a way to read it. If killing the past is a straightforwardtheory of trauma, then Liberation Maidenis little more than a rephrasing of contemporaryvisual artist Takashi Murakami’s thesis on kawaii;that Japanese culture is engaged in an endless attemptto overcome the trauma of the atom bomb.That, rather than the bomb, the game centers imperialistaggression is noteworthy, however. LiberationMaiden suggests that the past, in terms ofgame mechanics and aesthetics, can be productivelyengaged with as signs and systems. Thistakes the form of <strong>spec</strong>ulative future which lookssuspiciously like <strong>alt</strong>ernate history. To fight for thefuture, one must kill the past.ResourcesKontek.netKill the Past trilogyhttp://archive.kontek.net/killer7.3dactionplanet.gamespy.com/killthepast.htmDelta Head TranslationHand in Killer7http://www.deltaheadtranslation.com/adilegian/HAND_IN_KILLER7.txtAustin Walker‘A disputed history:Attack of the Friday Monsters and the Kaiju Genre’http://clockworkworlds.com/post/56557215335/adisputed-history-attack-of-the-friday-monstersandTakashi Murakami‘Little Boy:The arts of Japan’s exploding subculture’http://www.japansociety.org/little_boy_the_arts_of_japans_exploding_subcultureLiberation Maiden image copyright Level5
