Love in Modern Japan

Více o knize

Exploring love through a social and historical lens, this book examines the interplay between intimacy and power dynamics. It distinguishes between idealized love and sexual love, featuring chapters on sexualized rituals, the Abe Sada murder case, and the tragedy of Miko and Mako, alongside the 1990s 'enjokosai' phenomenon. Combining ethnographic, theoretical, and archival research, it offers valuable insights for scholars in Japanese anthropology, feminist anthropology, and gender studies.
