Description

Explore the complex relationship between gender norms and mental health in contemporary Japan. Since the 1980s, there has been a notable rise in eating disorders and self-harm among Japanese women, often linked to the conflicting messages they receive regarding femininity. This academic work examines how these issues are represented within Japanese narrative and visual culture. By analyzing how women's self-directed violence is themed in media and art, this book provides a deep look at the pressures of social expectations. It introduces the concept of 'contradictive femininity' to help define the complexities of normativity in modern society. This text serves as a vital resource for those studying the intersection of culture, gender, and psychological health in East Asia.
