From the rear cover
Turim raises critically important issues that the existing literature on Japanese cinema has been loath to address. Through thoughtful and sensitive readings of Oshima's films, she acknowledges the problematic nature of categories such as culture, subjectivity, and identity. This is an important contribution not only to film criticism and scholarship but to current debates and discussions in the Japan field, in cultural studies generally, and in feminist thought.--William Haver, State University of New York, Binghamton
