Textual Representations of Sexual Violence in Heian and Kamakura Monogatari SWEAT, TEARS AND NIGHTMARES: TEXTUAL REPRESENTATIONS OF SEXUAL VIOLENCE IN HEIAN AND KAMAKURA MONOGATARI by OTILIA CLARA MILUTIN B.A., The University of Bucharest, 2003 M.A., The University of Massachusetts Amherst, 2008 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE AND POSTDOCTORAL STUDIES (Asian Studies) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) August 2015 ©Otilia Clara Milutin 2015 Abstract Readers and scholars of monogatari—court tales written between the ninth and the early twelfth century (during the Heian and Kamakura periods)—have generally agreed that much of their focus is on amorous encounters. They have, however, rarely addressed the question of whether these encounters are mutually desirable or, on the contrary, uninvited and therefore aggressive. For fear of anachronism, the topic of sexual violence has not been commonly pursued in the analyses of monogatari. I argue that not only can the phenomenon of sexual violence be clearly defined in the context of the monogatari genre, by drawing on contemporary feminist theories and philosophical debates, but also that it is easily identifiable within the text of these tales, by virtue of the coherent and cohesive patterns used to represent it. In my analysis of seven monogatari—Taketori, Utsuho, Ochikubo, Genji, Yoru no Nezame, Torikaebaya and Ariake no wakare—I follow the development of the textual representations of sexual violence and analyze them in relation to the role of these tales in supporting or subverting existing gender hierarchies. Finally, I examine the connection between representations of sexual violence and the monogatari genre itself. By drawing on an extensive comparative approach that contrasts the Japanese monogatari with the Western genres of fairy tale, novel, romance and fan fiction, I argue that female readers and writers of monogatari could only address the topic of sexual violence within the confines of a genre avowedly fictitious, which, precisely because of its fictitiousness, provided a textual safe space. ii Preface This dissertation is original, unpublished, independent work by the author Otilia Clara Milutin. I have conceived the project in its present form, as the next step to my previous research on kidnapping and abduction in The Tale of Genji, after extensive consultation with my adviser, Joshua S. Mostow. I have selected the texts I am analyzing here while in Tokyo, on a Japan Foundation Fellowship, working with Mitamura Masako, who guided and helped me with the genbun—original text—of these tales. The selections from the tales used here were either manually or digitally input, using the Shinpen Nihon koten bugaku zenshū database, available from JapanKnowledge. Unless otherwise specified in the footnotes, all translations included in this study are mine. For the most part, I have translated only those episodes of direct importance to my argument, that is, those episodes involving sexual violence and mutually desirable sexual encounters. I have also not translated anew epigraphs, other quotations from the selected texts, and quotations from texts not directly relevant to the topic of sexual violence. For six of the seven tales included here, I have relied on the Shin Nihon koten bungaku zenshū editions (both digital and hard copies). In the case of Ariake no wakare, which has not yet been included in this series, I have used Ōtsuki Ōsamu’s 1979 Ariake no wakare: aru dansō no himegimi no monogatari. In addition, I have consulted all available translations in English and, where possible, French, listed in the bibliography. The original text is romanized using the historical kana usage (kyū-kanazukai), while proper names and titles follow the Hepburn Romanization (e.g., Torikaebaya, Yowa no Nezame, Towazugatari). iii Table of Contents Abstract .............................................................................................................................. ii Preface ............................................................................................................................... iii Table of Contents ............................................................................................................. iv List of Tables ................................................................................................................... vii Acknowledgements ........................................................................................................ viii Dedication ...........................................................................................................................x 1.

Jóhannesdóttir Kt.: 210496-2039 Leiðbeinandi: Kristín Ingvarsdóttir Maí 2021 1 Abstract This essay will explore the history of the portrayal of LGBT+ people in Japanese fiction, starting from The Tale of Genji, a novel from the early 11th century that is widely considered to be the first classic in history, and to the proper establishment of what is known as the BL (boys’ love) and yuri genres. BL, as the name suggests, is a genre that features the relationship between two male characters, usually in a romantic and/or sexual nature, while yuri is between two female characters. There will be a short examination of LGBT+ portrayal in historical literary works and art before moving onto a more detailed recounting of modern fiction and television. Some ancient literature will be reviewed, comparing real-life societal norms to their fictional counterparts. The focus will mainly be on the introduction of the BL genre, the historical evolution of it, the commercial start of it, the main components that make up the genre, and why it is as popular as it is, a well as an examination of the culture surrounding the fans of the genre.

  • In Genji Monogatari Masako
    01-大野 06.3.2 9:57 AM ページ1 “Monogatari” and “Old Monogatari” in Genji Monogatari Masako Ono What is curious about Genji monogatari 源氏物語 is that Murasaki Shikibu 紫式部 designates as“old”even those monogatari that were loved by the people in her age as the most fashionable and exciting ones. Her gesture to differentiate her own monogatari from old monogatari (mukashi monogatari 昔物語), however, does not effect what it purports, because the narrative of Genji continues and imitates the traditional pattern of old monogatari immediately after making a depreciatory com- ment on old monogatari. What I am going to observe is the deeper implication of this seeming paradox. I will investigate how Genji monogatari retroactively defines what old monogatari is by its paradoxical gesture of differentiating itself from and identifying itself with old monogatari. Monogatari gets defined when old mono- gatari is defined. In other words, monogatari as a genre does not present itself as monogatari, but as something different from old monogatari. I will argue that monogatari inheres something nostalgic in itself. We cannot reach the presence of monogatari except through old monogatari, because monogatari is constituted through its past. Monogatari is a genre nostalgically perceived. 1: Nostalgia for Mukashi Monogatari in Genji monogatari Genji monogatari constantly refers to old monogatari. As Kaoru 薫1 visits Uji 宇治 in the heavy rain and among the thick underbrush, not knowing that the 1 From his childhood, Kaoru has been bothered by the suspicion that Genji 源氏 might not be his real father. With his religious predilection, he is drawn toward the religious serenity of the Eighth Prince (Hachinomiya 八の宮), who, although born to a high- ranked nobility as a younger brother of Genji, has been embittered and tormented by a series of ill fortunes, and is determined to live a saint’s life.

  • Reading the Genji Monogatari Shinobugusa: an Introduction to the "Natsuhon"
    1040 Reading the Genji Monogatari Shinobugusa: An Introduction to the "Natsuhon" by Kenji Nakanishi Although the study of digests of the Genji Monogatari is a major field in Genji Monogatari research, digests from the early modern era have not been studied thoroughly. Kitamura Koshun (1648-97), legitimate son of Kitamura Kigin (1624-1705) who was the author of the Kogetsusho, supported his father's literary activities and had high expectations for the future; however, he predeceased his father, leaving a single work, the Genji Monogatari Shinobugusa. Writing the work took considerable time, but it was more unfortunate that it remained inaccessible to the public until it was published as a printed edition in 1834. Due to this fact, the Genji Monogatari Shinobugusa was appreciated by a limited audience through its manuscripts. It is an excellent digest which skillfully summarizes the gist of the Genji Monogatari without spoiling the atmosphere of the whole tale. It was in this light that I published a variorum edition in addition to several studies in my book Genji Monogatari Shinobugusa no Kenkyuu (A Study of the Genji Monogatari Shinobugusa). The present article, which is meant to supplement my previous research, considers the newly-appeared manuscript called the "Natsuhon" (the second of four books in the manuscript). The "Natsuhon" includes the section from the Eawase book to the Umegae book, and thus includes the "Tamakazura Jyujyo", which is considered to be single section within the Genji Monogatari. This article examines how the "Tamakazura Jyujyo" is covered in the Genji Monogatari Shinobugusa, and indicates the bibliographical features of the "Natsuhon".

  • Analysis of Cinderella Motifs, Italian and Japanese
    Analysis of Cinderella Motifs, Italian and Japanese By C h ie k o I r ie M u lh e r n University of Illinois at Urbana—Champaign I ntroduction The Japanese Cinderella cycle is a unique phenomenon. It is found in the medieval literary genre known as otogizoshi 御 伽 草 子 (popular short stories that proliferated from the 14th to the mid-17th centuries). These are literary works which are distinguished from transcribed folk tales by their substantial length and scope; sophistication in plot struc­ ture, characterization, and style; gorgeous appearance in binding and illustration; and wide circulation. The origin, date, authorship, reader­ ship, means of circulation, and geographic distribution of the otogizoshi tales, which include some four hundred,remains largely nebulous. Particularly elusive among them is the Cinderella cycle, which has no traceable predecessors or apparent progeny within the indigenous or Oriental literary traditions. In my own previous article, ‘‘ Cinderella and the Jesuits ” (1979), I have established a hypothesis based on analysis of the tales and a com­ parative study of the Western Cinderella cycle. Its salient points are as follows: 1 . The Japanese tales show an overwhelming affinity to the Italian cycle. 2. The Western influence is traced to the Japanese-speaking Italian Jesuits stationed in Japan during the heyday of their missionary activity between 1570 and 1614; and actual authorship is attributable to Japa­ nese Brothers who were active in the Jesuit publication of Japanese- language religious and secular texts. 3. Their primary motive in writing the Cinderella tales seems to have been to proselytize Christianity and to glorify examplary Japanese Asian Folklore Studiest V ol.44,1985, 1-37.

    New Half: Japanese Transsexuals and Their Place in Japanese Literature and Society Inez Suhardjo East Asian Studies, Haverford College Professors Hank Glassman and Pauline Lin Spring 2010 Suhardjo 2 Abstract In 2008, amidst the continued presence of gays and transsexuals in Japanese media after the "gay boom" of the 1990s, a "New Half' transsexual individual by the name of Tsubaki Ayana wrote a memoir entitled Watashi, Danshikou Shusshin Desu (I Went to a Boys' School), which describes her experience growing up in "the wrong body" — that is, with the male-attributed penis even though she has never considered herself male. The main purpose of this paper is to determine the place that Tsubaki's work has within the body of gay literature, and to trace the ways that gay literature has been shaped throughout different times and within different societies. In doing so, this paper ultimately shows that a link that is amorphous and indefinite — but unquestionably present — exists between works of literature, the historical times that they come from, and the social spaces that they occupy. Watashi is examined as three types of literature: autobiography, entertainment, and social commentary. To examine the work's place in literature as each of these types, it is compared to three other works that can be considered part of the canon of Japanese gay literature: Mishima Yukio's Confessions of a Mask as autobiography, the late-Heian era tale The Changelings as entertainment, and Hiruma Hisao's Yes Yes Yes as social commentary. Through literary analysis, this paper draws parallels between Watashi and each of the works chosen for each category.
