The Study of Sexuality : Theory Literary/Film Representation

在这项研究中，我一直在追寻我们现代社会中的性星座，前提是不对称性结构构建了我们的性以及我们的性别角色。性行为研究在20世纪90年代初出现在美国，几年后出现在日本。但是，至少在日本，这项研究倾向于关注同性恋的可视化，而对Heter/同性恋框架的二元对立和异性恋本身的变性的批判性探究漠不关心。我相信，这项研究的目的是通过重新解读其文学/电影表征来对性进行理论分析，在一定程度上可以达到这一目的。在日本学术界的背景下，我能够在更广泛的联系中重新定位女权主义，并介绍社会科学、政治学、批评理论和文学研究领域中的性视角。我在《Shiso》杂志上发表的系列文章，以及我在其他理论杂志上发表的其他文章、采访、对话和目录理由，以及我翻译的朱迪思·巴特勒和伊芙·K·塞奇威克的著作，试图以批判性的方式重读精神分析以及政治、社会、文学和话语理论，并澄清我们的社会制度，在我看来，性是其消失点。我过去四年的研究结果包括岩上绍腾2000年出版的女权主义和我即将由同一出版商出版的一本书。我在这几年出版的几本杂志的女权主义和/或性问题上担任过客座编辑。我觉得我的研究对文学研究以外的其他学科都有贡献。

In this research I have been pursuing the constellation of sexuality in our modern society on the premise that the asymmetrical sexual formation constructs our sexuality as well as our gender roles. Sexuality studies emerged in the beginning of the 1990s in the US and several years later in Japan. But, at least in Japan, this research tended to focus on the visibilization of homosexuality and was indifferent to the critical inquiry of the binary opposition of the heter/homo-sexuality framework and to the denatualization of heterosexuality itself.The aim of this research, which was the theoretical analysis of sexuality with the rereading of its literary/film representation, could be attained to some extent, I believe. In the context of Japanese academism, I've been able to reposit feminism in a wider connection and to introduce the perspective of sexuality in the field of social science, political studies, critical theories and literary studies. My serial articles carried in the Shiso magazine and other articles, interviews, dialogues, catalogue raisonnes of mine included in other theoretical magazines with my translation of the writings of Judith Butler and Eve K. Sedgwick try to reread critically psychoanalysis and political, social, literary, and discursive theories and to clarify our social system which embraces, in my opinion, sexuality as its vanishing point.The results of my research of the past four year include Feminism published in 2000 by Iwanami Shoten and a forthcoming book of mine to be published by the same publisher. I have served as a kind of guest editor in feminist and/or sexuality issues of several magazines published these couple of years. I feel my research has contributed toward other disciplines than literary studies.
