Capitalism, Alienation, and Transgression in Contemporary Japanese Women’s Fiction

As I describe in some detail, this narrative logic results in an oscillation between premodern and modern literary norms. Second, it shows how Kyōka's specific use of the bishōnen (beautiful boy) trope functions semiotica…

Fetishized Blackness
Flipping television channels late one insomniac night in Tokyo in the winter of 1990, I happened upon a Japanese dancing duo performing with darkened faces, singing, outfitted in the trendiest costumes: baseball caps with brims turned to the back, expensive sneakers, and baggy trousers. That same year, a friend who was visiting Japan entered a dance hall which to his surprise appeared to be peopled almost exclusively by youths. Upon closer scruti…
