{"product_id":"shojo-across-media-von-undefined","title":"Shōjo Across Media","description":"\n                \u003cp\u003eSince the 2000s, the Japanese word \u003ci\u003eshōjo\u003c\/i\u003e has gained global currency, accompanying the transcultural spread of other popular Japanese media such as manga and anime. The term refers to both a character type specifically, as well as commercial genres marketed to female audiences more generally. Through its diverse chapters this edited collection introduces the two main currents of \u003ci\u003eshōjo\u003c\/i\u003e research: on the one hand, historical investigations of Japan’s modern girl culture and its representations, informed by Japanese-studies and gender-studies concerns; on the other hand, explorations of the transcultural performativity of \u003ci\u003eshōjo\u003c\/i\u003e as a crafted concept and affect-prone code, shaped by media studies, genre theory, and fan-culture research. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhile acknowledging that \u003ci\u003eshōjo\u003c\/i\u003e has mediated multiple discourses throughout the twentieth century—discourses on Japan and its modernity, consumption and consumerism, non-hegemonic gender, and also technology—this volume shifts the focus to \u003ci\u003eshōjo\u003c\/i\u003e mediations, stretching from media by and for actual girls, to \u003ci\u003eshōjo\u003c\/i\u003e as media. As a result, the Japan-derived concept, while still situated, begins to offer possibilities for broader conceptualizations of girlness within the contemporary global digital mediascape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783030014841\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eExploring \"Girl\" Practices in Contemporary Japan\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover - 9783030014841","offer_id":39472469803101,"sku":"9783030014841","price":139.09,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/eea0c1a8-5851-415f-a34d-4d31ee402006.jpg?v=1769231896","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/products\/shojo-across-media-von-undefined","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
