By first exploring the media landscape of Buky\u014d sekai, this talk will discuss how the magazine engaged with adventure fiction and state ideologies against the backdrop of imperial expansion and \u201cmoral panic\u201d surrounding the delinquent student to construct a masculine, chivalrous imperial subject. Situated alongside this paratextual context, this talk will consider how Kaita\u2019s subversive \u201cSatsujin gy\u014dja,\u201d which was published in Buky\u014d sekai, employs tropes of adventure fiction and archetypes of the delinquent student to queer the construction of a heteronormative masculine subject, and offer an alternative mode of identity not expressly tied to race or nation.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Day &amp; Time\uff1aMarch 24th, 2023 (Friday), 12:15-13:15<\/li>\n<li>Venue\uff1aLab (2nd floor of WIHL)<\/li>\n<li>Language\uff1aEnglish<\/li>\n<li>Participation\uff1aFree, We encourage participants who would like to join this event to make a reservation(B) in advance. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/culture\/wihl\/other-en\/580\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Reservation<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Presented by the Yanai Initiative for Globalizing Japanese Humanities, with support from the Waseda International House of Literature<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/culture\/wihl\/news\/3793\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Flyer<\/a><\/p>\n<h4>Lecture<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Tanya Barnett<\/strong><br \/>\nTanya Barnett is a doctoral candidate in Japanese literature at the University of Hawai\u02bbi, M\u0101noa.
