My dissertation examines the creation of the modern capitalist world as well as the destruction of prior forms of life in two Asian societies. Through this process of "creative destruction," disparate social groups, from defiant peasants in Korea, to headhunting aborigines and unruly Han Chinese in Taiwan, became uniform industrial laborers under Japanese colonial rule. But what brought out this radical homogenization and the "successful" production of Foucauldian "docile bodies?" Moving beyond the oppositional narratives of colonial "development" versus "exploitation," I argue that both the colonizer and the colonized were compelled to dance to the tune of a third historical subject: capital. Capital engendered radical social mutations with extreme dynamism, ceaselessly revolutionizing the world from within. This dissertation offers a prehistory of capitalism, casting into stark relief the peculiarity of the capitalistic life form. It examines shifting modes of economic life in Korea and Taiwan before and after the emergence of capitalism, constituting a macrohistory that spans from the distant past to the 17th century arrival of the Dutch, and from there to the early 19th century on the cusp of Japanese colonization. I introduce a three-part theoretical schema for analyzing major types of social order: domination under mortal violence, letters, and numbers. Capitalism, a form of domination under the logic of numbers, indicates the dawn of a new civilization previously unknown to the world. Early modern East Asia, which was under the grip of letters, was not a passive object being subsumed into capitalism, but constituted a significant element of its global emergence.
