- This highly interdisciplinary book provides the first analysis of the role of motorcycles, critically and theoretically, in relation to gendered understandings of technology in popular culture, media and society. Its ambitious scope develops both new theoretical understandings of the intersection between technology and society and Japanese raciality and gender through a critique of Euro-American philosophies surrounding technology. The result of several years research, it is international in scope drawing on fieldwork and examples from the USA, UK and Japan. It utilises a wide range of visual texts (film, advertising, television and manga/anime), including analysis of Japanese texts unavailable in English.
