Filicide and maternal animosity in Takahashi Takako’s early fiction -- Conclusion. .This book provides the first full-length, English-language investigation of the multiple and often contradictory ways in which mothers who kill their children were portrayed in 1970s Japan. It offers a snapshot of a historical and social moment when motherhood was being renegotiated, and maternal violence was disrupting norms of acceptable maternal behaviour. Drawing on a wide range of original archival materials, it explores three discursive sites where the image of the murderous mother assumed a distinctive visibility: media coverage of cases of maternal filicide; the rhetoric of a newly emerging women’s liberation movement known as ūman ribu; and fictional works by the Japanese writer Takahashi Takako. Using translation as a theoretical tool to decentre the West as the origin of (feminist) theorizations of the maternal, it enables a transnational dialogue for imagining mothers' potential for violence. This thought-provoking work will appeal to scholars of feminist theory, cultural studies and Japanese studies.Thinking Gender in Transnational TimesSociologyCrime—Sociological aspectsFeminist theoryEthnology—AsiaLiterature—TranslationsOriental literatureGender Studieshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X35000Crime and Societyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/1B3000Feminismhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E44030Asian Culturehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/411040Translation Studieshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/828000Asian Literaturehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/831000Sociology.Crime—Sociological aspects.Feminist theory.Ethnology—Asia.Literature—Translations.Oriental literature.Gender Studies.Crime and Society.Feminism.Asian Culture.Translation Studies.Asian Literature.359.03Castellini Alessandroauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1062115BOOK9910252726503321Translating Maternal Violence2523037UNINA
