Description
"In Emergent Genders, Michelle H. S. Ho traces the genders manifesting alongside Japanese popular culture in Akihabara, a renowned area in Tokyo for the fandom and consumption of anime, manga, and games, such as dansåo (female-to-male crossdressing), and josåo and otoko no ko-both referring to male-to-female crossdressing. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork in josåo and dansåo cafe-and-bars, establishments where employees dress as a different gender, Ho shows how their owners, employees, and customers creatively
innovate what she calls emergent genders-new practices, categories, and ways of being stemming from the simultaneous fracturing, contestations, and (re)imaginations of older forms of gender and sexual variance in Japan. Such emergent genders initiate new markets for alternative categories of expression and subjectivity to thrive in a popular cultural hub like Akihabara instead of Shinjuku Ni-chåome, Tokyo's gay and lesbian neighborhood. In rethinking identitarian models of gender and sexuality and decentering theoretical frameworks incubated in a predominantly United States academic context, Ho demonstrates how looking at categorial innovation transnationally offers different answers to the question of how trans and gender nonconforming individuals may survive and flourish in a capitalist context"--
