  • Refashioning Gendered Language and Body Among Japanese Youth at University Drag (Josou) Contests
    宮崎 あゆみ; 野澤 俊介; フルカワ ギャビン, 日本文化人類学会研究大会発表要旨集, 2018, 0, 2018
    In this paper, we explore the discourse and performance of <i>josou</i>, 'men dressing as women,' based on our ongoing qualitative research on participants in university <i>josou</i> contests. We argue that these participants turn <i>josou</i> into diverse technologies of the self (Foucault 1988) through refashioning their own language and body and mobilizing a network of expertise and social relations for their labor of transformation., 日本文化人類学会, Japanese

    マリノフスキーが発案した「交感」概念を言語人類学、とりわけ記号論的視点から再考し、交感性に分析の眼差しを向けることが「やりとりの人類学」における方法論的、理論的枠組みへどのように寄与するのかを考察する。ヤコブソンのコミュニケーション「機能」論による記号論的整理を背景に、近年取りざたされつつある交感性に関する議論を鑑みながら、交感性に重点を置く言語観の実例としてアメリカと日本からのケースを紹介する。, 日本文化人類学会
