Recently, nineteenth-century art photography distinctive for its "pictorialism" has been re-evaluated in the discourses of the history of photography. However, mainstream scholarship, which emphasizes the affinity between photography and other art forms such as painting or literature, has generally ignored the "photographic-ness" of pictorial photography. This paper examines how the work of English photographer Henry Peach Robinson, a representative figure in nineteenth-century art photography, embodied the medium-specificity of photography. It will do so by paying special attention to his works that deal with the themes of sleep and death, such as Fading Away (1858), The Lady of Shalott (1860), and Sleep (1867). In nineteenth-century Western culture, it was not unusual for people to commission professional photographers to take photographs of their dead family members before burials took place. In those postmortem photographs the corpse was typically depicted as if he or she were just "sleeping." It is important to realize that such a disguise was made possible by the power of photography, in which the states of being dead or asleep are often indistinguishable from one another. For Robinson, who tried to produce his photographic works strictly as he intended, such an instability of meaning was nothing but an obstacle to his creation. Indeed, Robinson finally stopped tackling the themes of death and sleep in his work and instead turned to more lively subject matter.

This paper attempts to clarify how Japanese mass media described gestational surrogacy by focusing on the narratives of surrogate mothers in the articles of popular magazines. The subjects of this analysis are the articles published from June 1981 - around the time when the first articles began appearing - to May 2008. In these articles, gestational mothers were mostly described by people who benefited from their gestation. These people included clients, agents, and a doctor involved in gestational surrogacy in Japan. Through their narratives, gestational mothers in the media are recognized in mainly three aspects.<改行> First, the following perceptions exist about gestational mothers: (l) Gestational mothers are transcendent and are beyond ordinary people. (2) Their existence is holy. (3) They represent the epitome of self sacrifice. These three concepts come from the myth of motherhood that is associated with the sexist portrayal of a woman's role in the society. Second, there are two aspects to the portrayal of the gestational mothers'bodies: (1) metaphors are used for wombs as objects, though a womb is a part of a living body, and (2) while few articles did mention gestational mothers'physical experiences, these experiences were not that focused upon. It is under these perceptions that their bodies are considered as items that should be traded in the market. Third, gestational mothers'personal characters are not mentioned at all.<改行> Popular sentiment (seron), created by the media, is often referred to as the more legitimate opinion in Japan when people consider gestational surrogacy; however, this research indicates the seron is actually organized as mentioned above. Hence, one should be careful when referring to these opinions while considering surrogacy more objectively.
