Abstract

This article focuses on the historical use and meanings of early modern oaths (Jp. kishōmon 起請文). These materially hybrid texts were initially stamped (on one side) and then inscribed by hand in ink (on the other side), often even in blood. Since they are an inextricable combination of print and handwriting, they complicate such dichotomies and open up a series of issues central to the understanding of scribal practices in early modern Japan. This article moves beyond their content analysis to address issues of materiality and agency along with the relationship between orality, writing and bodily practices.

复仇的承诺:17世纪晚期日本混合文本中的爱情誓言

本文着重探讨现代早期誓言的历史用途和意义（Jp.kishōmon起請文). 这些材料混合的文本最初是盖章的（一面），然后用墨水手工刻下（另一面），通常甚至是用血刻下。由于它们是印刷品和笔迹不可分割的结合体，它们使这种二分法复杂化，并引发了一系列问题，这些问题是理解现代早期日本书写实践的核心。这篇文章超越了他们的内容分析，讨论了物质性和能动性问题，以及口头性、写作和身体实践之间的关系。

期刊介绍： East Asian Publishing and Society is a journal dedicated to the study of the publishing of texts and images in East Asia, from the earliest times up to the present. The journal provides a platform for multi-disciplinary research by scholars addressing publishing practices in China, Korea, Japan, Taiwan and Vietnam. East Asian Publishing and Society invites articles that treat any aspect of publishing history: production, distribution, and reception of manuscripts, imprints (books, periodicals, pamphlets, and single sheet prints), and electronic text. Studies of authorship and editing, the business of publishing, reading audiences and reading practices, libraries and book collection, the relationship between the state and publishing—to name just a few possible topics—are welcome.
