Harada examines the various meanings of (re)production in light of feminist and queer studies and offers close readings of works by novelists Murata Sayaka, Ōhara Mariko, Ueda Sayuri and manga artists Hagio Moto and Shirai Yumiko. Scholarship of SF in Japanese studies has primarily focused on male authors, but this book shows not only how women writers have created a space in SF and speculative fiction but how their work can be seen as a response to particular social norms and government policies"--Provided by publisher.Brill's Japanese Studies LibrarySex in literatureHuman reproduction in literatureLiterary criticism.lcgftSex in literature.Human reproduction in literature.895.636099287Harada Kazue1525306MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910795425703321Sexuality, maternity, and (re)productive futures3766613UNINA
