Behavior That Offends: Comics and Other Images of Incivility --Bibliography --Contributors --IndexOffering a concise, entertaining snapshot of Japanese society, Manners and Mischief examines etiquette guides, advice literature, and other such instruction for behavior from the early modern period to the present day and discovers how manners do in fact make the nation. Eleven accessibly written essays consider a spectrum of cases, from the geisha party to gay bar cool, executive grooming, and good manners for subway travel. Together, they show that etiquette is much more than fussy rules for behavior. In fact the idiom of manners, packaged in conduct literature, reveals much about gender and class difference, notions of national identity, the dynamics of subversion and conformity, and more. This richly detailed work reveals how manners give meaning to everyday life and extraordinary occasions, and how they can illuminate larger social and cultural transformations.EtiquetteJapanSex roleJapanPower (Social sciences)JapanJapanSocial life and customsadvice literature.asia scholars.behavior guides.class differences.conformity.cultural transformations.culture studies.early modern period.etiquette guides.everyday life.gay bars.geisha party.gender differences.gender norms.gender studies.japan.japanese culture.japanese society.modern japan.national identity.nonfiction.power dynamics.self help guides.social analysis.social etiquette.social history.subversion.subway travel.EtiquetteSex rolePower (Social sciences)395.0952Bardsley Jan475791Miller Laura1953-1477001MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910786706303321Manners and mischief3826702UNINA
