The aim of juxtapositioning such diverse narrative and visual culture is to map common storylines and thematisation techniques about normative femininity and women's self-directed violence. The book analyses both globally well known Japanese culture such as Murakami Haruki's literary works and Miyazaki Hayao's animation as well as culture unavailable to non-Japanese readers. 410 0$aNissan Institute/Routledge Japanese studies series. 606 $aFemininity$zJapan 606 $aFemininity in literature 606 $aFemininity in popular culture$zJapan 606 $aJapanese literature$xWomen authors 606 $aBody image in women$zJapan 615 0$aFemininity 615 0$aFemininity in literature. 615 0$aFemininity in popular culture 615 0$aJapanese literature$xWomen authors. 615 0$aBody image in women 676 $a305.40952 700 $aHansen$b Gitte Marianne.$01881893 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910955632103321 996 $aFemininity, self-harm and eating disorders in Japan$94496782 997 $aUNINA
