| Research Abstract |
This research project intends a historical examination of the gender formation in Modern Japan. We focused on the reading matters called 'Dokufu-mono' appeared in the last quarter of 19^<th>. century, which had areal or fictitious woman criminal as its heroine. We tried to analyze an act of the representation itself regarding the Dokufu{poison woman} as a categorization of women by negative regulation and penalizing oppression in the age of establishment of modern nation state.
For this purpose we investigated the material at home and abroad, not only the literary texts but the newspapers, magazines, wood-block color prints, and illustrated playbooks. As the result of these wide-ranging investigations, we have found that many of the former discourses upon the 'Poison woman', irrespective whether they were historical studies or literary studies, whether they claimed that they were academic researches or not, had depended on secondary materials or unreliable sources. Those sloppy ways of handling material have combined to a sensationalism of the mass media, and reproduced enormous stereotyped images of 'Poison woman' reflecting the dread and desire of the society.
