This book explores how female manga artists have encouraged the female gaze within their work and how female readers have challenged the male gaze pervasive in many forms of popular media. Each of the chapters offers a close reading of influential manga and fancomics to illustrate the female gaze as a mode of resistant reading and creative empowerment. By employing a female gaze, professional and amateur creators are able to shape and interpret texts in a manner that emphasizes the role of female characters while challenging and reconfiguring gendered themes and issues. Kathryn Hemmann received a PhD from the University of Pennsylvania and is the author of numerous essays on Japanese fiction, graphic novels, and video games. They also run the blog Contemporary Japanese Literature (japaneselit.net), which features reviews of fiction in translation and posts on gender, society, and popular culture. 410 0$aEast Asian Popular Culture,$x2634-5935 606 $aEthnology?Asia 606 $aCulture 606 $aGender 606 $aPopular Culture 606 $aCommunication 606 $aAsian Culture$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/411040 606 $aCulture and Gender$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/411210 606 $aPopular Culture $3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/411170 606 $aMedia and Communication$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/412010 615 0$aEthnology?Asia. 615 0$aCulture. 615 0$aGender. 615 0$aPopular Culture. 615 0$aCommunication. 615 14$aAsian Culture. 615 24$aCulture and Gender. 615 24$aPopular Culture . 615 24$aMedia and Communication. 676 $a741.50952 700 $aHemmann$b Kathryn$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01214121 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910484279803321 996 $aManga Cultures and the Female Gaze$92849216 997 $aUNINA
