Funded Activity Summary

A Cultural History of the Body in Modern Japan. This project will focus on a cultural history of the body in Japan from the late nineteenth century to the present. This study will go beyond previous theorisations of the body, by looking at the development of Japanese modernity through analysing cultural representations of embodied experiences and embodied practices. In addition to considering questions of sex, gender, sexuality and reproduction, the project will also focus on the classed, racialised and ethnicised dimensions of bodily experience. It will consider the body at work, the body in leisure, the body as the medium of violence, and the embodied experiences of globalization.
