It traces their beginnings in homoerotic novels about schoolgirls around the 1910s and their later expression in early 'Boys' Love' (BL) manga in the 1970s. The aesthetics are also manifested in contemporary theater and dance performances both in avant-garde and popular theater groups (e.g., Takarazuka) as well as in cult films. 'Girls' aesthetics' are distinct from the well-known 'kawaii' (cute) culture and contemporary art theories that emphasize the child-like nature of Japanese arts. The book situates these aesthetics within a history of Japanese performance and visual arts during the modern and contemporary period and links them to historical events such as the violent 1960s leftist movements, the 1970s women's liberation movements, and the post-war Japan-US relationship. The aesthetics provide an alternative to Western approaches for theorizing women within feminist theory. This is an important book for scholars and upper-level students of international performance and Japanese studies"--$$cProvided by publisher. 000752366 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000752366 650_0 $$aTheater$$zJapan$$xHistory. 000752366 650_0 $$aWomen in the theater$$zJapan$$xHistory. 000752366 650_0 $$aAesthetics, Japanese. 000752366 650_0 $$aPerforming arts$$zJapan$$xPhilosophy. 000752366 650_0 $$aWomen in the theater$$zJapan$$xHistory$$y19th century. 000752366 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z9781349557066 000752366 830_0 $$aContemporary performance interactions. 000752366 852__ $$bebk 000752366 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1057/9781137372987$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000752366 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:752366$$pGLOBAL_SET 000752366 980__ $$aEBOOK 000752366 980__ $$aBIB 000752366 982__ $$aEbook 000752366 983__ $$aOnline 000752366 994__ $$a92$$bISE
