This 2008 essay of hers reframes Sōseki’s work in the context of nineteenth and twentieth century European literature and social history. Showcasing both a rigorous feminist perspective and a background in the same British literature that informed Sōseki’s own scholarly work, the essay explores how fears and anxieties regarding female autonomy and sexuality manifested in literary images of blood-sucking, vampiric temptresses. Through stunning close readings of Sōseki’s And Then (Sore kara, 1909), as well as other novels of his such as Kusamakura (1906) and Sanshirō (1908), Miyazaki engages discourses of sexology and bourgeois domestic politics to reconfigure the space of Sōseki’s novels within both a new literary context and in light of Japan’s burgeoning empire.","PeriodicalId":357136,"journal":{"name":"Review of Japanese Culture and Society","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114692423","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Moreover, the new status of Japan in the international arena following the 1964 Tokyo Olympics – as it looked toward Osaka Expo ‘70 – instilled many urbanites, members of the civil service, and white collar workers with a sense of optimism and a strengthened desire to forget, repress, and leave behind the traumas of war. However, that same year, violent student and counterculture riots that began on university campuses spread, sparking nationwide social protests, and the Diet building, the prime minister’s office, and the American embassy were surrounded each day by thousands of demonstrators who opposed and challenged Japan’s democratic institutions. Questioning and reassessing Japan’s national identity at a time of political and economic change seemed fitting in a year that marked the centennial of the Meiji restoration. The aim of this paper is to present the influence of these social, economic, and political events on the work of key figures within advertising design in Japan in the late 1960s and 1970s by examining the new types of messages that were imbued in the form of branding techniques that appeared in advertising posters.1","PeriodicalId":357136,"journal":{"name":"Review of Japanese Culture and Society","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-08-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129582856","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
