Reading Yamada Eimi
No full textThe Japanese novelist Yamada Eimi has published many controversial and
popular books. As she herself lives openly and controversially in the same way
that she writes, Yamada Eimi the person is often confused with the narrators of
her stories. This essay is not only a reading of her texts, but also an analysis of
how "Yamada Eimi," the author, is embedded into these texts and then consumed
by the reader.
Starting first with two examples of diametrically opposed readings by the
North American critics Richard Okada and Kuwahara Yasue, I then outline my
reading which falls somewhere in between Okada's and Kuwahara's. Several
Japanese readings of Yamada's writings indicate that Yamada creates her own
world with its own value system and then draws the readers into this system. In
Chapter One, a close reading of three of Yamada's works shows that this system is
an aesthetic code that defines the behaviour, dress and attitude of the female
characters in the stories. Chapter Two then shows how this code is communicated
to the readers. The homosocial "sister" relationships that allow this
communication are also part of how the readers are drawn in. In Chapter Thriee I
combine the aesthetic code with the "sister structure" to illustrate how the reader
is also included in a sister relationship with Yamada Eimi.. Back full circle, I then
show how different readings of the same texts become possible.Arts, Faculty ofAsian Studies, Department ofGraduat

From the Latin “ atratus ” (= black, dirty black), referring to the mostly black body color; an adjective. Comments. This new species is closely allied to B. crassicornis in general appearance, but it is separable from the latter by the rostral segment III being blackish brown and pale yellow at apex (Fig. 5) (basally darkened in B. crassicornis, as shown in Fig. 6), all femora being entirely blackish brown (fore and mid femora almost yellowish brown or faintly darkened in B. crassicornis), the paramere being apically modified into a acute projection and swollen portion (Figs. 9, 10) (apically hooked in B. crassicornis, as shown in Figs. 13, 14), the paramere being somewhat thickened near apex in dorsal view (Fig. 9) (not thickened in dorsal view in B. crassicornis, as shown in Fig 13), and the omphalus being erect and shortened (Fig. 12) (more elongate and extending toward anteriorly in B. crassicornis, as shown in Fig. 15). The new species also resembles B. novaecaledoniae from New Caledonia in having similar coloration of antenna and femora, but can be distinguished from it by the clavus being of a blackishbrown tinge (stramineous and apically brownish black in B. novaecaledoniae), the pygophore lacking a parameroid process (with weakly developed parameroid process in B. novaecaledoniae), and the paramere being somewhat thickened apically and medially narrowed in dorsal view (thickened toward apex in B. novaecaledoniae). Biology. The present new species was collected from dead leaf clusters of branches of shaded evergreen forest and dead drooping banana leaves in the Malay Peninsula. A single specimen was attracted to artificial light.Published as part of Yamada, Kazutaka & Hirowatari, Toshiya, 2007, A new Buchananiella Reuter (Hemiptera: Anthocoridae) from Indochina and the Malay Peninsula, with a note on B. crassicornis Carayon, pp. 29-36 in Zootaxa 1398 on pages 30-32, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.17536
