| Research interests: Modern Japanese-language prose; art and capitalism; the flow of literary works throughout the larger Japanese linguistic community; the function of power in the literary field; and theories of diaspora and heterogeneity, particularly as they challenge culturalist concepts of national identity. Current projects: My forthcoming book, Manufacturing Modern Japanese Literature: Publishing, Prizes, and the Ascription of Literary Value (Duke University Press, 2010), examines the relationship between literature and the publishing industry. My current project is the role of literature in the Japanese diaspora, focusing on the production and consumption of literary texts from both Tokyo and São Paulo. |
