In Kanawa, husband takes a mistress, upon which his wife seeks to exact revenge by ritually transforming into a demon, with an iron trivet \u2013 normally used for cooking \u2013 representing demonic horns. In Kinuta, the wife attempts to call back her long-absent husband by beating on a fulling block used for laundry. In both plays, the betrayed wives use household implements \u2013 markers of domesticity, to express their resentment and rebel against the fate to which they are expected to be resigned. Analyzing the two plays, my presentation explores how domesticity, originally posited as a source of confinement and subjugation of the female, is turned into a tool of dissent. She sought to elucidate the ways in which the medium of n\u014d is used to challenge and destabilize the prescribed social order, familial structure, and gender roles.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-uncropped-small wp-image-2374 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/department-comparative-cultural-studies\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/333\/dunja-news-2-october-2023-300x300.png\" alt=\"Decorative image with text that is in the long description.\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/333\/dunja-news-2-october-2023-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/333\/dunja-news-2-october-2023-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/333\/dunja-news-2-october-2023-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/333\/dunja-news-2-october-2023-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/333\/dunja-news-2-october-2023-600x600.png 600w, https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/333\/dunja-news-2-october-2023.png 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Assistant Professor of Asian Studies and the Comparative Study of Religions Dr. Dunja Jelesijevic recently presented the paper \u201cImplements of Dissent: Resisting Family Structures in the Noh\u201d at the Midwest Conference on Asian Affairs in September.
