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"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Theater $z Japan $x History. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008112828 650 0 $a Women in the theater $z Japan $x History. 650 0 $a Aesthetics, Japanese. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85001465 650 0 $a Performing arts $z Japan $x Philosophy. 650 0 $a Women in the theater $z Japan $x History $y 19th century. 650 7 $a PERFORMING ARTS $x History & Criticism. $x History & Criticism. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Aesthetics, Japanese. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00798786 650 7 $a Performing arts $x Philosophy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01057915 650 7 $a Theater. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01149217 650 7 $a Women in the theater. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01178050 651 7 $a Japan. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204082 648 7 $a 1800 - 1899 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 830 0 $a Contemporary performance interactions. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2015020427 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20171222024144.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=725A4FB4E6E611E7A3BFBD0A97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
