Slater\, Professor of Cultural Anthropology\, Sophia University\, Tokyo \nModerator: \nSarah Kovner\, Senior Research Scholar\, Arnold A. Saltzman Institute of War and Peace\, Columbia University \nFollowing Japan’s 2023 Penal Code revision\, this panel examines how legal recognition of nonconsensual intercourse often fails to capture the relational\, affective\, and spatial conditions through which compliance and harm are produced. Drawing on the first academic analysis of NHK’s 2022 nationwide sexual violence survey (38\,000+ responses with narratives)\, the papers show that consent in contemporary Japan is not a discrete act but a structurally mediated process shaped by gendered norms\, emotional labor\, and institutionalized endurance. \nSpeakers’ Bios: \nAsato Ikeda is Associate Professor of Art History at Fordham University\, New York. She is the co-editor of Art and War in Japan and Its Empire (2012)\, the co-author of A Third Gender: Beautiful Youths in Japanese Prints (2016)\, and the author of The Politics of Painting: Fascism and Japanese Art during the Second World War (2018).
