Toddler-Hunting”: the Beating Father, the Beaten Boy, and a Female Masochist CHAPTER FOUR PERVERSE AESTHETICS IN TAEKO KōnO’s “TODDLER-HUNTing”: THE BEATING FATHER, THE BEATEN BOY, AND A FEMALE MASOCHIST Strangely, the foreigner lives within us: he is the hidden face of our identity, the space that wrecks our abode, the time in which understanding and affinity founder. Julia Kristeva, Strangers to Ourselves Taeko Kōno (1926–) achieved status as an author with the publication of her Akutagawa Prize-winning work “Kani” (Crabs) in 1963, one of her ear- liest published stories. Kōno has since published a large number of literary works, and is still actively producing narratives that provide a discursive space for inquiry into issues surrounding gender configurations. Gretchen Jones, a scholar of Japanese literature, speaks of Kōno’s writings in terms of the value and validity of gender discourse, showing that “her [Kōno’s] narratives ‘play,’ in a perverse sort of way, with gender dynamics.”1 Critic Keiko Yonaha highly values Kōno’s subversive strategies with regard to institutionalized concepts of the female body.2 Foregrounding the compli- cated texture of female sexualities, the thematic impact of Kōno’s stories comes from their depiction of sadomasochism (usually female masochism and male sadism).3 Kōno’s female characters also often possess an abnor- mal attraction to otoko no ko (little boys) and an aversion toward onna 1 Gretchen Jones, Deviant Strategies: The Masochistic Aesthetic of Tanizaki Jun’ichirō and Kōno Taeko (Diss. The University of California-Berkeley, 1999), 157. In her analysis of the masochistic female characters in Taeko Kōno’s literary works (including Akiko in “Toddler-Hunting”), Jones uses Gilles Deleuze’s theory of pseudo-masochism which is directly linked to sadistic impulses. Jones asserts that the masochistic desires of the female subjects in Kōno’s works may possibly be displaced by a subconscious sadistic passion. 2 Keiko Yonaha, Gendai joryū sakka ron (Tokyo: Shinbisha, 1986), 8. 3 In her 1990 novel, Miira-tori ryōkitan (A Bizarre Story of Mummy Hunting), Kōno reverses her usual dynamic and features a male masochist who trains his female partner to play sadist for him. See Chizuko Uema’s Resisting Sadomasochism in Kōno Taeko (Diss. University of Oregon, 1998) and Gretchen Jones (1999) for details concerning the sadomas- ochistic mechanisms in Kōno’s works. Uema views Kōno’s sadomasochistic narratives in terms of a social discourse that fetters women, while Jones emphasizes the performativity of sadomasochism in Kōno’s literature as one of the key points required in discussing divergent female sexuality. 58 chapter four no ko (little girls).4 Among Kōno’s early works, “Yuki” (Snow, 1962), “Crabs” (1963), and “Ari takaru” (Ants Swarm, 1964) present multiple frameworks of female sexual ambivalence incorporating both sadomasochism and such perverse attitudes toward children. The combination of an adult woman’s attraction to otoko no ko and sadomasochistic desire may be seen in Kōno’s 1961 novella “Yōjigari” (Toddler-Hunting).5 Issues concerning female sexuality and gender dis- course inform the narrative development of the story. “Toddler-Hunting” also illustrates the structure of female fantasies of male homosexuality within the framework of the third stage of female sexual fantasies as out- lined in Freud’s “A Child is Being Beaten.” In accordance with Freud’s third stage, sexual desire arises from the female gaze directed at the (sex- ual) interaction of two men (the boy and the father). Thus, Freud’s article can be employed as a framework within which to analyze the narrative of female fantasies of male homosexuality in “Toddler-Hunting.”6 4 Kōno is not alone in her interest in the structures of shōnen (boy) identity. Among the contemporary Japanese women writers who explore shōnen identity, Mayumi Nagano is outstanding. In her first publication, Shōnen Arisu (Shōnen Alice, 1989), a shōnen version of Alice in Wonderland, she focuses on the shōnen bildungsroman within a homosocial/ homosexual context. In her serial works Hakuchū dōdō (Openly in Broad Daylight, 1997), Aozora (Blue Sky, 1998), Karera (Them, 2000), and Wakaba no koro (Around the Time of Green Leaves, 2001) especially, boys search for their self-identity by inquiring into issues of innocent (but physical) love for others of the same sex. In the popular field of yaoi manga (which is discussed in greater detail in Chapter Seven), there is also a strong female appre- ciation for shōnen. One yaoi manga genre, called shota mono, specifically deals with the sexuality of boys. The term shota derives originally from a boy character’s name, Shōtarō, in the famous Japanese anime Tetsujin 28 gō (Metalman No. 28). Among women, Shōtarō, who has a cute face and wears short pants, is considered the representative shōnen figure. Women who are attracted to shōnen are generally called shotakon no onna, women with a shōtarō complex. This shōtarō complex is usually compared with rorikon (the Lolita com- plex). An analysis of Kōno’s boy-obsessed characters in terms of the concept of shotakon certainly would prove enlightening, but it is not be pursued in this study. 5 “Toddler-Hunting” won the Shinchōsha dōjin zasshi shō (the Shinchōsha Literary Coterie Magazine Award). Kōno’s other works that have received literary awards are: Saigo no toki (The Last Time), Joryū bungaku shō (Women’s Literature Award, 1966); Fui no koe (A Sudden Voice), Yomiuri bungaku shō (Yomiuri Literature Award, 1969); her critical work Tanizaki bungaku to kōtei no yokubō (The Literature of Tanizaki and the Desire for Affirmation), Yomiuri Literature Award, 1976; Ichinen no bokka (A Year-Long Pastoral), Tanizaki Jun’ichirō bungaku shō (The Tanizaki Jun’ichirō Literary Award, 1980); and Miira-tori ryōkitan (A Bizarre Story of Mummy Hunting), Noma bungei shō (The Noma Literary Award, 1991). In the article “Yōjigari ron; Kōno Taeko no henshitsuteki shuppatsu” (Aosugahara 44), Katsumi Nakatani discusses the process by which “Toddler-Hunting” was awarded the Shinchōsha Literary Coterie Magazine Award, and how Kōno was motivated to apply for the award. 6 Let me repeat that I do not assume that all women share an identical sexuality, organized through an identical process of fantasy formation.

This is done by analysing four different series from 2010s, in which incest is a major theme. The analysis is done using visual analysis. The study concludes that although the series can show sexualization of drawn underage girls, reading the works as if they would posit either real or fictional little sisters as sexual targets. Instead, the analysis suggests that following the narrative, the works should be read as fictional underage girls expressing a pure feelings and sexuality, unspoiled by adult corruption. To understand moe, it is necessary to understand the history of Japanese animation. Much of the genres, themes and styles in manga and anime are due to Tezuka Osamu, the “god of manga” and “god of animation”. From the 1950s, Tezuka was influenced by Disney and other western animators at the time.

    Nabokov’s Dark American Dream: Pedophilia, Poe, and Postmodernism in Lolita by Heather Menzies Jones A Thesis Submitted to the Department of English of the State University of New York, College at Brockport, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS 1995 ii Nabokov’s Dark American Dream: Pedophilia, Poe, and Postmodernism in Lolita by Heather Menzies Jones APPROVED: ________________________________________ _________ Advisor Date ________________________________________ _________ Reader ________________________________________ __________ Reader ________________________________________ __________ Chair, Graduate Committee _______________________________________ ___________ Chair, Department of English iii Table of Contents Chapter Page Introduction 1 Pedophilia and Lolita 10 Poe and Lolita 38 Postmodernism and Lolita 58 Works Cited 83 1 INTRODUCTION The following thesis about Vladimir Nabokov's Lolita first began as a paper written as an assignment for a course about postmodern American literature. In the initial paper's title there was an allusion made to the implicated reader, and the paper itself was about giving Lolita a newer and postmodern reading. To read Lolita again, years after doing so initially, was a distinctly disturbing thing to do. The cultural climate has certainly changed since the mid-1950's when the book was first published in this country, and this alone makes the rereading of this novel an engaging opportunity. Lionel Trilling wrote that Nabokov sought to shock us and that he had to stage-manage something uniquely different in order to do so. Trilling believed that the effect of breaking the taboo "about the sexual unavailability of very young girls" had the same force as a "wife's infidelity had for Shakespeare" (5).

Well, the creative joy is authentic; and yet it isn't faithful (in common with pretty well the entire cast of Nabokov's fictional women, creative joy, in the end, is sadistically fickle).

  • Lolita Fashion, Like Other Japanese Subcultures, Developed As a Response a to Social Pressures and Anxieties Felt by Young Women and Men in the 1970S and 1980S
    Lolita: Dreaming, Despairing, Defying Lolita: D, D, D J New York University a p As it exists in Japan, Lolita Fashion, like other Japanese subcultures, developed as a response a to social pressures and anxieties felt by young women and men in the 1970s and 1980s. Rather than dealing with the difficult reality of rapid commercialization, destabilization of society, n a rigid social system, and an increasingly body-focused fashion norm, a select group of youth chose to find comfort in the over-the-top imaginary world of lace, frills, bows, tulle, and ribbons that is Lolita Fashion. However, the more gothic elements of the style reflect that behind this cute façade lurks the dark, sinister knowledge that this ploy will inevitably end, the real world unchanged.

  • Longing in Lolita Emily Aucompaugh Submitted for Honors in English the University at Albany, SUNY Directed by Helen Elam (Date)
    To Speak Ghosts and See Echoes: Longing in Lolita Emily Aucompaugh Submitted for Honors in English The University at Albany, SUNY Directed by Helen Elam (Date) Chapter 1: Echoes and Ghosts A while ago, when I knew only that I wished to write something about Lolita, a friend sent me an internet article titled, “How Lolita seduces us all.” The author argues that the success of Vladimir Nabokov’s novel derives foremost from the “tiny Humbert’s” the text creates out of readers who avail themselves “of morally troubling pleasure.” Admittedly, when it comes to a novel like Lolita, which explores the extreme taboo of a middle-aged intellect in a sexual relationship with his twelve-year-old stepdaughter, the plot often tempts the reader to measure his or her own moral standing based on the degree to which they sympathize with Humbert Humbert and enjoy his story. Of course, examining the moral implications of the text in relation to one’s own empathetic response to a murderous pedophile is an important, indeed a necessary, component when analyzing a text such as Lolita. I remember reading the novel in my freshman year of college, and making the mistake of stating to one of my English professors that I liked Humbert Humbert. She without hesitation corrected my assertion by distancing me from my emotional response. With a slight sneer of disgust, she said, “You don’t like Humbert. You mean he interests you.” I did not mean then, and do not mean now, that Humbert merely interested me, like a spectacle to be observed only through the scientific lens of a biologist.

  • Exploring the Meaning of Yaoi in Taiwan for Female Readers: from the Perspective of Gender
    Intercultural Communication Studies XIX: 1 2010 Chou Exploring the Meaning of Yaoi in Taiwan for Female Readers: From the Perspective of Gender Dienfang Chou, Tzu Chi University The purpose of this study is to explore the meaning of Yaoi in Taiwan. Yaoi is a Japanese phrase that describes a group of females who enjoy creating and reading the male homosexual comic books or novels. This study uses an intensive interview method to examine the meanings behind the females’ enjoyment of reading Yaoi texts. Based on the literature, this study uses the perspective of genders to examine the interview data by six concepts: reciprocity, substitution, and social taboos in love relationships as well as conversion, initiative, and wantonness in sexual discourse. The result of this study shows that the primary meanings to Yaoi readers are: to practice the doubts from the established gender conventions; to enjoy the freedom from breaking free of gender constraints through those stories without any gender differences; to gain joy and satisfaction by crossing the standard gender norms through fictional homosexual love stories. Limitations and suggestions for future research are discussed as well. Boy’s Love (BL) is one kind of male homosexual romantic love story, usually written and read by women, that exists in the form of comics and novels in Taiwan. These kinds of stories originated from the non-professional creation and adaptation of parody works in the 1970s in Japan. These adapted works were privately published without the jurisdiction and supervision of publishing houses together with the adaptation of well-known works. Therefore, there was no need to spend time and effort laying out the plot before directly getting to the bold description of explicit sex.

  • Precursors of Lolita: the Adolescent and His/Her Sexualized Body in Russian Erotic Writing of the Silver Age and in Emigration
    Alexei Lalo Precursors of Lolita: The Adolescent and his/her Sexualized Body in Russian Erotic Writing of the Silver Age and in Emigration Louis Malle’s 1978 flm Prety Baby, starring Brooke Shields, Keith Carradine and Susan Sarandon, set in a New Orleans bro­ thel in 1917 during the last few months of legal prostitution, tells a love story of Violet, a 13­year­old budding prostitute, and Bel­ locq, a young photographer, perhaps in his early thirties. When the flm came out, it caused a scandal in the US mainly due to Brooke Shields’ (who was 12 at the time) full nudity, but also be­ cause of its lurid main theme: adolescent sexuality and a sexual re­ lationship between a pubescent girl and an adult man. The shock value of the flm was enhanced by the French director’s noticeable “estrangement” in his manner of presenting the events, without really condemning such horrifying societal sores as child prostitu­ tion and sex with minors. However, Malle did not seem to glorify these phenomena either.1 © Alexei Lalo, 2011 http://www.utoronto.ca/tsq 1 Daring flms and literary works like Malle’s Prety Baby or Vladimir Nabokov’s novel Lolita (1955) shock their audiences on both sides of the Atlantic by crossing the lines of the permissible in moral­legal terms and thus in many ways anticipate contemporaneous/subsequent studies of sexualities providing our deeper understanding of sexual attraction and allowing for certain addi­ tional possibilities whenever two consenting partners fnd themselves passion­ ately attracted to one another. Malle’s flm and Nabokov’s novel thus arguably raise the cultural weight of cinema/literature as they enrich the public’s aware­ ness of such controversial social phenomena as a possibility of consensual rela­ tionships whenever one of the partners happens to be considerably younger 27 Prior to Malle’s flm, the theme of adolescent sexuality and of a sexual relationship between a pubescent teenager and an adult had been explored by Vladimir Nabokov’s novel Lolita and Stanley Kubrick’s flm of the same name.

  • The Cultural Context and the Interpretation of Japanese 'Lolita
    Intercultural Communication Studies XXIII: 2 (2014) HINTON The Cultural Context and the Interpretation of Japanese ‘Lolita Complex’ Style Anime Perry R. HINTON Independent Academic Researcher, UK Abstract: Japanese animated films or anime have been popular in the West since the early 1990s. However, media interest in anime (particularly in Britain) has tended to focus on negative representations of anime concerning violence, sexuality and young girls. The current paper undertakes an examination of the genre of ‘Lolita complex’ or rorikon anime, the focus of these concerns. It is argued that the term ‘Lolita’ has a culturally specific meaning and that it has a different meaning in Western culture to that in Japan. This has led to a misperception of aspects of Japanese society and its cultural products such as anime. Furthermore it is argued that rorikon anime reflects teenage anxieties about the adult world, and changes in society and gender roles rather than perverse male sexual desire. An examination of the elements of rorikon anime shows that, rather than the product of a cultural ‘other’, it reflects features common across Japanese and Western cultures. Keywords: Japanese anime, Lolita complex, rorikon, shoujo, British media, cultural context, gender roles 1. Introduction One of the key aspects of globalization is the ready availability of the cultural products of one country to other nations round the world. The development of the internet as a global marketplace and its social media role for creating communities of fans of these products has further enhanced this cross-cultural communication. This can be seen most clearly in the popularity of Japanese popular culture (in terms of a range of products such as animated films (anime), comic books (manga), video games and toys) in Western countries.
