Product Details
Since the 2000s, the Japanese word shjo has gained global currency, accompanying the transcultural spread of other popular Japanese media such as manga and anime. The term refers to both a character type specifically, as well as commercial genres marketed to female audiences more generally. Through its diverse chapters this edited collection introduces the two main currents of shjo research: on the one hand, historical investigations of Japans modern girl culture and its representations, informed by Japanese-studies and gender-studies concerns; on the other hand, explorations of the transcultural performativity of shjo as a crafted concept and affect-prone code, shaped by media studies, genre theory, and fan-culture research. While acknowledging that shjo has mediated multiple discourses throughout the twentieth centurydiscourses on Japan and its modernity, consumption and consumerism, non-hegemonic gender, and also technologythis volume shifts the focus to shjo mediations, stretching from media by and for actual girls, to shjo as media. As a result, the Japan-derived concept, while still situated, begins to offer possibilities for broader conceptualizations of girlness within the contemporary global digital mediascape.
