Figures of Resistance: Language, Poetry, and Narrating in The Tale of the Genji and Other Mid-Heian Texts - Post-Contemporary Interventions
Richard H. Okada
Offers fresh readings of three tales: "The Tale of the Bamboo-cutter", "The Tale of Ise", and "The Tale of Genji". The author contends that the cultural and gendered significance of these works has been distorted by previous commentaries and translations belonging to the larger patriarchal and colonialist discourse of Western civilization.
