{"product_id":"diva-nation-laura-miller-9780520297722","title":"Diva Nation: Female Icons from Japanese Cultural History","description":"\u003ci\u003eDiva Nation\u003c\/i\u003e explores the constructed nature of female iconicity in Japan. From ancient goddesses and queens to modern singers and writers, this edited volume critically reconsiders the female icon, tracing how she has been offered up for emulation, debate or censure. The research in this book culminates from curiosity over the insistent presence of Japanese female figures who have refused to sit quietly on the sidelines of history. The contributors move beyond archival portraits to consider historically and culturally informed diva imagery and diva lore. The diva is ripe for expansion, fantasy, eroticization, and playful reinvention, while simultaneously presenting a challenge to patriarchal culture. \u003ci\u003eDiva Nation \u003c\/i\u003easks how the diva disrupts or bolsters ideas about nationhood, morality, and aesthetics. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Laura Miller\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0520297725\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780520297722\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\/08\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2019","brand":"Laura Miller","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44119768498431,"sku":"9780520297722","price":95.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_92da1e1d-085c-42c0-9320-97b6dcd82d32.jpg?v=1687410845","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/diva-nation-laura-miller-9780520297722","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
