How might queer theory transform our interpretations of medieval Japanese literature and how might this literature reorient the assumptions, priorities, and critical practices of queer theory? Through a close reading 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, Genji queers in its reluctance to romanticize or reproduce a flawed social order. An understanding of this hesitation enhances how we engage with premodern texts and how we question contemporary disciplinary stances. 606 $aHistory / Asia / Japan$2bisacsh 606 $aLiterary Criticism / Asian / Japanese$2bisacsh 606 $aSocial Science / LGBTQ+ Studies$2bisacsh 606 $aSocial sciences 615 7$aHistory / Asia / Japan 615 7$aLiterary Criticism / Asian / Japanese 615 7$aSocial Science / LGBTQ+ Studies 615 0$aSocial sciences. 676 $a895.63/14 700 $aJackson$b Reginald$01070415 801 0$bScCtBLL 801 1$bScCtBLL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910598077903321 996 $aA Proximate Remove$92559686 997 $aUNINA
