Description

This academic study from Routledge examines the relationship between normative femininity and women's self-directed violence in contemporary Japanese culture. Beginning from the 1980s onwards, the book documents the rise of eating disorders and self-harm among Japanese women whilst exploring the contradictory messages they receive about feminine identity. The work develops the theoretical framework of 'contradictive femininity' to analyse how Japanese narrative and visual culture both reflects and shapes these complex social pressures. Essential reading for scholars and students of Japanese cultural studies, gender studies, and the intersection of social norms with mental health issues in modern East Asian society.
