Description: Explores the limitations of sexual expression in Tokyo's "safe" nightlife district and in Japanese media
Review Quotes: "Regimes of Desire expands its cultural knowledge production beyond the realm of Japan studies, making a significant interdisciplinary contribution to fields such as sociology, anthropology, critical cultural studies, affect studies, communication studies, queer studies, Japanese culture studies, media studies, rhetoric, and more. The book's epistemological and methodological commitment renders this study inherently interdisciplinary, navigating theoretically complex and dense conversations with clarity and comprehensiveness through the incorporation of informants' narratives and archival materials."--Journal of Japanese Studies
