Sommario/riassunto

This book examines the relationship between normative femininity and women's self-directed violence in contemporary Japanese culture including novels, short stories, artwork, manga, anime, TV dramas and news stories. The aim of juxtapositioning such diverse narrative and visual culture is to map common storylines and thematisation techniques about normative femininity and women's self-directed violence. The book analyses both globally well known Japanese culture such as Murakami Haruki's literary works and Miyazaki Hayao's animation as well as culture unavailable to non-Japanese readers.
