Through a close reading of \u003ci\u003eThe Tale of Genji, \u003c\/i\u003e an eleventh-century text that depicts the lifestyles of aristocrats during the Heian period, \u003ci\u003eA Proximate Remove\u003c\/i\u003e explores this question by mapping the destabilizing aesthetic, affective, and phenomenological dimensions of experiencing intimacy and loss. The spatiotemporal fissures Reginald Jackson calls \"proximate removes\" suspend belief in prevailing structures. Beyond issues of sexuality, \u003ci\u003eGenji\u003c\/i\u003e queers in its reluctance to romanticize or reproduce a flawed social order. An understanding of this hesitation enhances how we engage with premodern texts and how we question contemporary disciplinary stances. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Reginald Jackson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0520382544\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780520382541\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of California Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/22\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 250\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.70d","brand":"Reginald Jackson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43995313832191,"sku":"9780520382541","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b5ce8cfa-9a42-4828-ad6c-189e3ddcec62.jpg?v=1683335114","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-proximate-remove-2-reginald-jackson-9780520382541","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
