Title: Imaging Reading Eros: Proceedings for the Conference, Sexuality and Edo Culture, 1750-1850, Indiana University, Bloomington, August 17-20, 1995
Editor: Sumie Jones
Abstract: Conference proceedings: Sexuality in Edo culture has long been a taboo subject in literary histories and critical studies in spite of the fact that, as with other major cities, Edo urban culture materialized in narratives grounded in sexual fantasies. In Imaging/Reading Eros, scholars from many disciplines explore the connection between the awareness of the body and the self-consciousness of the city’s culture in an effort to find a place for sexuality in teaching and research on Japan, while establishing a place for Edo popular culture in the canons of world art and literature.
