摘要自20世纪80年代以来，日本女性的饮食失调和自我伤害一直在上升。这项社会文化研究表明，这些行为植根于日本文化，如今已成为一种女性生活方式。在对女性气质的文化和历史构建以及对社会解体的恐惧的驱使下，这种女性生活方式表达了一种悖论：女性试图过度表现，同时逃避驾驭规范女性气质的义务。同时，从文学、漫画到电影和流行音乐，饮食失调和自我伤害在日本的文化表达中也有明确的主题。除了各种虚构的描述外，这项研究还使用了从事这种生活方式的女性的描述，概念化了一组社会心理标记，揭示了饮食失调和自我伤害如何潜在地在文化表达中表现出来，在这些文化表达中，这些行为没有明确的主题化。宫崎骏2001年的动画《Sen to Chihiro no Kamikakushi》就是一个例子，说明饮食失调作为一种女性生活方式，已经成为一种标准的娱乐形式。
Abstract Since the 1980s, eating disorders and self-harm among Japanese women have been on the rise. This socio-cultural study suggests that these behaviours are based in Japanese culture and have today become a female lifestyle. Motivated by cultural and historical constructions of femininity and the fear of social disintegration, this female lifestyle expresses a paradox: an attempt by women to over-perform and at the same time escape the obligation to navigate normative femininity. In parallel, eating disorders and self-harm are explicitly thematized in Japanese cultural expressions, from literature and manga to films and popular music. Using accounts from women engaged in this lifestyle, in addition to various fictional representations, this study conceptualizes a set of socio-psychological markers that exposes how eating disorders and self-harm are potentially represented in cultural expressions where such behaviours are not explicitly thematized. Miyazaki Hayao's animation Sen to Chihiro no kamikakushi from 2001 serves as an example of how eating disorders, as a female lifestyle, have become a normative form of entertainment.
