Are bad girls casualties of patriarchy, a necessary evil, or
visionary pioneers? The authors in this volume propose shifts in
our perceptions of bad girls by providing new ways to understand
them through the case of Japan. By tracing the concept of the bad
girl as a product of specific cultural assumptions and historical
settings, Bad Girls of Japan maps new roads and old detours in
revealing a disorderly politics of gender. Bad Girls of Japan
explores deviancy in richly diverse media: mountain witches,
murderers, performance artists, cartoonists, schoolgirls and
shoppers gone wild are all part of the terrain.
