| Summary: | This thesis is a Natsuo Kirino's use of violence in her novel OUT to undermine patriarchal Japan. A postmodern feminist approach was used in analyzing the novel by juztaposing Zygmunt Bauman's concept of postmodern violation, adiaphorization, and identity with Alice Jardine's gynesis. The analysis is concerned with the author's decpition of violence, the ways in which it subverts patriarhy, and the extent of this subversion. These three areas of concern give light to Kirino's own attempt, through her own writing, to render death, dismembered, and decay to the forces of Japanese society that perpetuate patriarchy. |
