Abstract

This chapter introduces the concept of calculability within the context of colonial dispossession. Discussions reflect on calculability, which emphasizes the quantitative aspects of products sold (portion size, cost) and service offered (the time it takes to get the product). This refers to the belief that more is better. If there is a lot of a product, then it must be good. One can grasp the extent of the importance of calculability in Okinawa (as conceived by the central planners) when one examines the plans devised for future economic development of the spaces cleared by the eventual return of land presently occupied by MCAS Futenma. The central aim appears in the realization of an alternative form of colonization disguised as healthcare development.

SACO was formed partly as a response to the 1995 rape of an elementary school girl by three American servicemen. The committee, which included not a single Okinawan voice, laid out designs for the future force structure of the American military on Okinawa and to reduce the “footprint.” These designs included the development of Henoko in the North as a suitable replacement for MCAS Futenma in Ginowan City.
