Download or read book Unbinding The Pillow Book written by Gergana Ivanova and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2018-11-06 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An eleventh-century classic, The Pillow Book of Sei Shōnagon is frequently paired with The Tale of Genji as one of the most important works in the Japanese canon. Yet it has also been marginalized within Japanese literature for reasons including the gender of its author, the work’s complex textual history, and its thematic and stylistic depth. In Unbinding The Pillow Book, Gergana Ivanova offers a reception history of The Pillow Book and its author from the seventeenth century to the present that shows how various ideologies have influenced the text and shaped interactions among its different versions. Ivanova examines how and why The Pillow Book has been read over the centuries, placing it in the multiple contexts in which it has been rewritten, including women’s education, literary scholarship, popular culture, “pleasure quarters,” and the formation of the modern nation-state. Drawing on scholarly commentaries, erotic parodies, instruction manuals for women, high school textbooks, and comic books, she considers its outsized role in ideas about Japanese women writers. Ultimately, Ivanova argues for engaging the work’s plurality in order to achieve a clearer understanding of The Pillow Book and the importance it has held for generations of readers, rather than limiting it to a definitive version or singular meaning. The first book-length study in English of the reception history of Sei Shōnagon, Unbinding The Pillow Book sheds new light on the construction of gender and sexuality, how women’s writing has been used to create readerships, and why ancient texts continue to play vibrant roles in contemporary cultural production.

Celebrated for herinnovative use of rare antique textiles -- from the embroidered metallicthreads of ecclesiastical vestments to Venetian Fortuny draperies and CentralAsian suzanis --her designs present a perfect balance of art and materialculture. A favorite of designers and a discerning public, her pillows andaccessories adorn some of America's finest homes. An early childhoodfascination with textiles eventually led her to create pillows from her growingpersonal collection of rare textiles and, when Neiman Marcus placed its firstorder in 1999, B VIZ Design was officially launched. While her collectingforays frequently take her abroad, she returns to her Louisiana roots and itsrich history and tradition of decorative arts for inspiration. In addition toMs. Vizard's home, rooms in a range of styles and periods by such top flightdesigners as Gerrie Bremermann, Barry Dixon, Suzanne Kasler and Matthew PatrickSmyth are included to illustrate embroidery, applique, tapestry, needlepoint, Fortuny, damask and brocade and suzani and ethnic pillows. A selection ofaccessories from lighting, gifts and dog wear of Fortuny fabric is alsohighlighted and an annotated textile glossary is included. Early in her career, whileworking on interior design projects from New York to New Orleans, RebeccaVizard noticed a void in the pillow market. Discovering a niche for antiquetextiles, Vizard focused on designing these one of a kind pillows for clients, and in the process employed many local seamstresses. Soon pillows sold toNeiman Marcus and other exclusive stores. Her pillows frequently grace thecovers of national publications, such as House Beautiful, Veranda, Elle Decor, Traditional Home, and Architectural Digest.
