On September 28 2023, The Itatsu Lab will be holding a book launch event to commemorate the publication of the book, “Gender in Japanese Popular Culture: Rethinking Masculinities and Femininities” (2023). This open-access essay collection brings together a range of viewpoints on gender from a diverse group of international scholars based in Finland, Belgium, Japan, Singapore, and Australia, and examines the ways in which gender can be depicted, perceived, and understood in Japanese popular culture. The event aims to introduce the contents of the book through reports by the authors followed by panel discussions, and to generate new conversations about gender that move beyond nation.
