Research Abstract |
This study aimed to reveal the paradigm in which the representation of Japanese people and women (Russian and Japanese) was constructed. This construction is examined within the span of the Russo-Japanese War and the span of the First World War, and at the intersection of the Russian Orientalism and the prevailing gender norms within the Russian media over the time periods of the two respective wars. The examination involved the comparative analysis of several texts from the viewpoint of Russian and Japanese print media. The main finding was that the cultural images each country had of the other, and which were represented in books and magazines, were transformed in travel writings based on contact and practical experiences by novelists, and circulated by the print media.
