This paper examines the ‘cosmopolitian’ memory politics in line with the transnational movement of Japanese military ‘comfort women’ in order to explain the transition and expansion of a nation-state’s traumatic memories across national borders. The cosmopolitanization of memory involves the formation of nation-specific and nation-transcending commonalities. They include a transnational value system, such as human rights and social justice. The people who share ‘cosmopolitan’ memories can be called as a moral community. Overseas migrants are important actors who lead an transnational activities in order to form ‘cosmopolitan’ memories of their nation’s historical heritage. Paradoxically, cosmopolitanism is compatible with transnationalism in this context of transnational memory politics. Based on the literature of Jewish Holocaust and Korean American’s movement for ‘comfort women’, this paper looks into the process and formation of ‘cosmopolitan memories of ’comfort women’ in Australia. Due to the ongoing conflicts over the issues of ‘comfort Women’ between two ethnic groups, Koreans and Japanese in Australia, the memory of ‘comfort Women’ was seen as being nation-specific rather than nation-transcending. As a result, it could not be transformed as ‘cosmopolitan memories’, that are remembered and commemorated by various members of society across the ethnic boundary. In this context, this study examines the movement focusing the actors, discourses as well as strategies, and the responses given by the Australian local and federal governments. The discussions of this paper are expected to show the dynamics of the transnational memory politics of ‘comfort women’ led by overseas Koreans, as well as the complexities and multi-dimensional aspects of their transnationalism. It also shows that the cosmopolitan memories can be effectively formed if the nation-transcending concerns of the ‘comfort women’ movement, such as women’s human rights and social justice, become part of local experiences of an increasing number of people.
