Envisioning Women Writers: Female Authorship and the Cultures of Publishing and Translation in Early 20th Century JapanYoshio, Hitomi January 2012 (has links)
This dissertation examines the discourses surrounding women and writing in the rapidly commercialized publishing industry and media in early 20th-century Japan. While Japan has a rich history of women's writing from the 10th century onwards, it was in the 1910s that the journalistic category of "women's literature" (joryû bungaku) emerged within the dominant literary mode of Naturalism, as the field of literature itself achieved a respectable cultural status after the end of the Russo-Japanese War (1904-5). Through a close textual analysis of fictional works, literary journals, and newspapers from the turn of the century to the 1930s, I explore how various women embraced, subverted, and negotiated the gendered identity of the "woman writer" (joryû sakka) while creating their own spheres of literary production through women's literary journals. Central to this investigation are issues of media, translation, canonization, and the creation of literary histories as Japanese literature became institutionalized within the new cosmopolitan notion of world literature. The first chapter explores how the image of the woman writer formed around the key figure of Tamura Toshiko (1884-1945) within the interrelated discourses of Naturalism, the New Woman, and decadence in the 1910s. As the New Woman became a social phenomenon alongside ongoing debates about women's issues, feminist women inaugurated the journal Seitô (Bluestocking, 1911-16) as a venue for women's literature. While this category renders their writings marginal to mainstream literature, it was a progressive, political position that marked their place within the literary world. I examine Toshiko's ambivalent position within this feminist project, and the instability of the media image of the New Woman that was always on the verge of slipping into the decadent figure of femme fatale. The second chapter examines the canonization of the late 19th-century prominent writer Higuchi Ichiyô (1872-96) at the turn of the century as a model woman writer and an embodiment of Japan's past tradition, which cast a threatening shadow on the women of Seitô. Tamura Toshiko's rejection of the New Woman identity and increasing association with aesthetic decadence also came to be at odds with their feminist mission. Seitô women's rejection of both Ichiyô and Toshiko was thus a necessary act in self-proclaiming the birth of the New Woman. As the number of women writers gradually increased in the late 1910s, various types of literary expression emerged beyond gendered expectations, paving the way for the mass expansion of women's writing in the 1920s. As the notion of world literature formed alongside various national literatures during the vast expansion of the publishing industry and translation culture in the 1920s, women began to envision their own alternative genealogy alongside dominant literary histories. The third chapter explores the envisioning of women's literary history by the Seitô writer Ikuta Hanayo (1888-1970) and the British modernist Virginia Woolf (1882-1941), whose feminist imaginations came together through the canonization of the English translation of The Tale of Genji, originally an 11th-century work written by a woman. As the growth of translations created a sense of global simultaneity, I further examine how the rhetoric of gender was central to Japanese literary modernism through the reception of two major British modernists, James Joyce and Virginia Woolf, in Japan.

Japanese women writers watch a boy being beaten by his father : male homosexual fantasies, female sexuality and desireNagaike, Kazumi 05 1900 (has links)
This thesis discusses narrative texts by Japanese female writers and popular manga
artists* that deal with fantasies of male-male sex. It applies a variety of psychoanalytic
theories (Freudian, Kleinian, feminist and so forth) to demonstrate how fantasies about male
homosexuality may be analyzed in terms of the psychological orientations of the many
Japanese women who are the readers of this narrative genre. I also discuss a variety of
themes that often accompany and appear to support female fantasies of male homosexuality:
the concept of Thomme fatal' in Mori Mari's male homosexual trilogy; sadomasochism in
Kono Taeko's "Toddler-Hunting"; the decadent aestheticism of Okamoto Kanoko's "The
Bygone World'; postmodernism in Matsuura Rieko's The Reverse Version; and the concept of
. pornography as it relates to yaoi manga. * *
In attempting to analyze the discursive aspects of female fantasies of male
homosexuality, I begin with an examination of Sigmund Freud's article, "A Child is Being
Beaten," in which he refers to the female scoptophilic impulse. Several Japanese female
writers—Kono Taeko, in particular—provide clear examples of narratives that parallel
Freud's model of the beating fantasy. This female scoptophilic desire to watch a male
homoerotic 'show' is activated by a psychological orientation such as that defined by Klein's
model of projective identification: female characters and readers project their 'unbalanced
egos' onto male homosexual characters, and this enhances the processes of identification with
and (scoptophilic) dissociation from these characters—which in turn create the possibility of
regaining psychological 'balance.'
One of the main themes of my analysis is the development of subconscious female
desires to access the bisexual (simultaneously masculine and feminine) body. I discuss the
idealization of the shorten (boy) identity (in "Toddler-Hunting" and The Reverse Version) and
the image of the 'reversible couple' in yaoi manga as specific forms of a sexual discourse
that presents possibilities of escape from the arbitrary, socially-constructed, but
institutionalized concepts of the female body.
