Abstract:
For many Japanese women, the English language has never been just another
school subject. For them, English is the tool of identity transformation and
the means of obtaining what they passionately desire – mobility, the West and
its masculinity. Language Learning, Gender and Desire explores Japanese
women's passion for learning English and how they negotiate identity and
desire in the terrain of racial, sexual and linguistic politics. Drawing on
ethnographic data and popular media texts, the book offers new insights into
the multidirectionality of desire and power in the context of second language
learning.
