Female Masculinity and the Business of Emotions in Tokyo
investigates the novel “emotion business” of
dansō
escorting as a phenomenon emerging between gender performativity and pop-culture, commodified relationships and the wish for self-expression.
Fanasca documents the dreams, ambitions and fears of young crossdresser escorts negotiating their identity with and within the Japanese society, as well as those of crossdresser escorts’ clients: women looking for the perfect man and the opportunity to experience emotions. Combining anthropological, sociological and gender studies theories with an ethnographic approach, Fanasca argues that
crossdressing is the tool used by a sector of Japanese women to resist the heteronormative and patriarchal society and its expectations, while reinventing themselves and their identities looking for self-actualization.
Female Masculinity and the Business of Emotions Tokyo
is an interdisciplinary work which will interest both scholars and students of Japanese studies, gender studies, and anthropology.
