Both series' female leads prioritise personal development and self-realisation over their love interests and end with singlehood (loosely defined as the status of being outside officially registered marriage). I examine the relationships between these women's financial capacity and their attitudes toward love and marriage, followed by a comparison of these idealistic representations with the dilemmas facing working women in reality. As the 'Tokyo' in their titles suggests, the geographic location of the capital plays a central role in both dramas. Their characters' negotiation of gender and power dynamics is inextricable from the socio-spatial attributes of Tokyo, framing the striving single female professional as an essentially urban character. 日本のテレビドラマにおける独身女性の表現に関する先行研究を踏まえ, 本論文では『東京女子図鑑』と『東京ラブストーリー2020』を取り上げ, その中で確認できる女性の恋愛と職業生活に関する描写を分析する。両ドラマの女性主人公は, 恋愛感情よりも自己成長や自己実現を優先し, 独身を選ぶ。主人公の経済力と恋愛観・結婚観の関係を検証し, ドラマの理想主義的な表現と実社会での働く女性が直面するジレンマを比較する。首都としての「東京」がタイトルで示されているように両方のドラマにおいて中心的な役割を果たしている。登場人物たちのジェンダーとパワーダイナミクスの交渉は, 東京の社会空間的属性と密接な関係にある。この枠の中で活躍する働く独身女性たちが都会的なキャラクターとして, その本質を検討する。 pubtype: Review doctype: Book Review src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Asian Studies Review is the property of Taylor & Francis Ltd and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
