Oscar is a woman who expresses as a male, a very male and gallant member of the royal guard, who is sworn to protect Marie. The bonds of friendship are so close between Oscar and Marie that they are almost like sisters–Oscar being a more sober and responsible “older sister” (o-neesan), in the Japanese sense, to less mature Marie. In fact, despite the novel being set in pre-Revolutionary France and its wealth of historical details, the manga clearly breaks the rules and places the kind of shojo or girls’ culture from twentieth-century Japan in 18th-century France. There is an absolute riot of Japanese girl-girl or “sister relationships” that run throughout the manga in various permutations that make this historical novel about one of the most famous women of France into very much a story about Japanese girl culture.\nDr. Holt will explore how and where Japanese culture emerges in this beloved work of manga (and later, Japanese theater) using the manga analysis style of famed scholar Natsume Fusanosuke.  Let’s read together volume 1 of the new English translation of Rose of Versailles so to better hear the dual calls for “Vive La France!” and “Vive La Japon!”\nDr. Holt received his Ph.D. in Japanese Literature from the University of Washington. His research interests include modern Japanese poetry and children’s literature. He wrote his dissertation on the works of Miyazawa Kenji, arguably one of the most important figures in modern Japanese literature. At PSU, Dr. Holt teaches Japanese literature and film as well as upper-division Japanese language courses. His secondary research interests include manga and Japanese Buddhism.\nThis is a sliding-scale event.
