- This extended study of girls as an aesthetic category in Japanese culture focuses on an extensive range of cultural objects from a variety of media - manga, theatre, dance, film and video art. It embeds readings of cultural artefacts from the 1970s to the 2000s in a cultural history of girls in Japan from the 19th c. to the present day, exploring them in relation to a theoretical framework based on performance and feminist studies. Providing a complex and nuanced argument, it demonstrates how girls as an aesthetic category can create subversive spaces to explore subjecthood, nation, gender and sexuality.
