| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This research focuses on the relationship between gender, language, media and service labor utlizing the practices of young people doing josou or cross-dressing as the main focus. Our data sources included josou contests at Japanese universities, various media representations of those doing josou, and josou in service-related industries such as josou cafes where customers are waited on by young men in dresses. For young people participating in the practice of josou, we found that it had various meanings, functions, and consequences. While josou is a free expression of gender that critically and creatively reconstructs the normative gender and sexuality representations, it invites looks of unwanted curiosity and desire while commercializing and glorifying the consumption of gender and sexuality. This study revealed that practice of josou has multiple meanings in Japanese society and cannot be reduced to simple categorization through masculinity, femininity and sexual orientation.
