| Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
My residence at Waseda University from June 18, 2016 to August 11, 2017 along with the support of faculty and staff, library access, resources for housing and office, and research funds enabled me to complete my book manuscript on Japanese literary modernism. In looking at formalist texts written in the 1920s, the book synthesizes close-reading textual studies with mass-media discourse analysis approaches in order to offer a new perspective on Japanese modernist fiction and introduce new approaches to the study of Japanese literature. It is currently under review for publication by the University of Cornell Press. The manuscript for my book, Disruptions of Daily Life: Japanese Literary Modernism in the World, which I completed during my residence at Waseda University, has been submitted to the Columbia Weatherhead Institute and is now under review by the University of Cornell Press. I have also completed and submitted an article on Tanizaki Jun’ichiro’s A Fools Love, which is based on the first chapter of this book, to the Journal of Japanese Studies. This summer I plan to undertake the revisions required for the publication of my book at the University of Cornell Press. I will also make revisions to the article I have submitted to the Journal of Japanese Studies if and when they are requested.
