During each of three major eras, he argues, one field dominated discourse on male-male sexual relations: popular culture in the Edo period (1600-1868), jurisprudence in the Meiji period (1868-1912), and medicine in the twentieth century.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis multidisciplinary and theoretically engaged analysis will interest not only students and scholars of Japan but also readers of gay studies, literary studies, gender studies, and cultural studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFront Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA remarkable and sorely needed synthesis of the best of traditional historiographical documentation and critically astute analysis and contextualization. \u003ci\u003eCartographies\u003c\/i\u003e complements and, frankly, exceeds any of the English language monographs on similar topics that precede it, and it represents significant contributions to several fields outside of East Asian history, including literature, gender studies, lesbian and gay studies, and cultural studies.--Earl Jackson Jr., author of \u003ci\u003eStrategies of Deviance: Studies in Gay male Representation\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eFantastic Living: The Speculative Autobiographies of Samuel R.
