This book explores the ways in which "ordinary"
heterosexual people
habitually (and without malice) make homosexual
people invisible in
ordinary communication processes in Japanese
communities in
Japan and the U.S. I raise the question: What are the
scenes and
communication practices in and through which
homosexuality
becomes invisible or irrelevant to identification of
the self? First, I
explore the communicative style of being ordinary,
in and through
which heterosexuals habitually enact a complete lack
of awareness
of homosexuals. Second, while addressing Japanese
silence and
indirect and ambiguous communication practices, I
examine a direct
mode of Japanese communication called speaking
straightforwardly. Third, I analyze cultural
premises regarding
social and emotional selves associated with being
ordinary and
speaking straightforwardly. Fourth, I describe a
silencing form of
communication which cultivates gut-level discomfort
and fear of homosexuals. Fifth, I analyze Japanese heterosexual
male-
centered lovemaking scenes in ero-manga which provide
possible
sources of misunderstanding between males, females,
and male
homosexuals.
