About this product
Product Information
This highly original study provides an entirely new critical perspective on the central importance of ideas about language in the reproduction of gender, class, and race divisions in modern Japan. Focusing on a phenomenon commonly called women's language, in modern Japanese society, Miyako Inoue considers the history and social effects of this language form. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork in a contemporary Tokyo corporation to study the everyday linguistic experience of white-collar females office workers and on historical research from the late nineteenth century to 1930, she calls into question the claim that women's language is a Japanese cultural tradition of ancient origin and offers a critical geneaology showing the extent to which this language form is, in fact, a cultural construct linked with Japan's national and capitalist modernity. Her theoretically sophisticated, empirically grounded, interdisciplinary work brilliantly illuminates the relationship between culture and language, the nature of power and subject formation in modernity, and how the complex nexus of gender, language, and political economy are experienced in everyday life.

The outside of the book was great, until I opened it and literally every single page was highlighted in yellow!! Which the seller failed to mention. Took a long time to arrive only for me to have to send it back. Waste of everyone’s time. Will now have to wait for them to receive it back before refund. Highly disappointed.

As shown from attached pictures, the book is not in an ‘acceptable’ condition. The book is also not the correct edition as shown in the picture. Completely different cover and arrived in this atrocious state. Had I known the proper form and condition of this book I wouldn’t have purchased it. Please be more clear in the future with your other posts.
