Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: Two scenarios framed Japan's hostage crisis in April 2004, illustrating the power of narrative to police critical ruptures in the spatial imagination of states. In the first, lesser viewed mediascape, the empathetic bonding expressed by the Mujahideen Brigades with the anti-war Japanese public defied, first, the conventional U.S./coalition policy subordinating Japan the key loyal surpassing all expectations, and second, the symbiosis of (U.S.-led) state humanitarian, rhetorical and military objectives. Immediately prior to the release of the hostages, the narrative transmogrified to legitimate not just the Japanese state, but the broader American coalition objectives in Iraq. Conservative political leaders in Japan framed the issue as one in which the hostages embarrassed and caused trouble to the Japanese people and therefore owed the state both an apology and monetary reimbursement. As this news travelled globally, Japan became receptacle of traditional Asian values, turning a cold shoulder to the hostages who might elsewhere (in warmer countries?) be regarded as heroes. Shaming the hostages in Japan territorialized the crisis and averted the trouble the circumstances of their release may have posed to the moral authority of America's occupation.
