Through close readings of The Tale of Genji, an eleventh century text that depicts the lifestyles of aristocrats during the Heian period, A Proximate Remove explores this question by mapping the destabilizing aesthetic, affective, and phenomenological dimensions of experiencing intimacy and loss. The spatiotemporal fissures Reginald Jackson calls 'proximate removes' suspend belief in prevailing structures. Beyond issues of sexuality, A Proximate Remove contends that Genji queers in its reluctance to romanticize or reproduce a flawed social order. This hesitation enhances how we engage premodern texts and question contemporary disciplinary stances."Joan Palevsky imprint in classical literature.Proximate Remove Japanese literatureHistory and criticismJapanese literatureHistory and criticism.895.6Jackson Reginald1070415NjHacINjHaclBOOK9910493750703321Proximate Remove3264498UNINA
