From ancient goddesses and queens to modern singers and writers, this edited volume critically reconsiders the female icon, tracing how she has been offered up for emulation, debate or censure. The research in this book culminates from curiosity over the insistent presence of Japanese female figures who have refused to sit quietly on the sidelines of history. The contributors move beyond archival portraits to consider historically and culturally informed diva imagery and diva lore. The diva is ripe for expansion, fantasy, eroticization, and playful reinvention, while simultaneously presenting a challenge to patriarchal culture. Diva Nation asks how the diva disrupts or bolsters ideas about nationhood, morality, and aesthetics"--Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Women in popular culture $z Japan. 700 1 $a Miller, Laura, $d 1953- $e editor. 700 1 $a Copeland, Rebecca L., $d 1956- $e editor. 776 08 $i Online version: $t Diva nation. $d Oakland, California : University of California Press, [2018] $z 9780520969971 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191217025455.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20180905050047.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=351D2C48B0D511E8923D894D97128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
