Beschreibung:
Japan is imagined routinely in American discourse as a supernatural entity. Gothic tales from these two cultures have been exchanged, consumed, and adapted. Here, Blouin examines a prevalent tendency within the United States-Japan cultural relationship to project anxiety outward only to find shadowy outlines of the self abroad.
FILLS A GAP: Little work has been done concerning this topic. Specifically, scholarship surrounding the Gothic has not yet dealt with transnationalism in a rigorous fashion
