メッセージ
University years can be the best time of your life. It is entirely up to you what you make of it. You will make friends for life; you will grow intellectually and emotionally. How much you learn depends on you. Your teachers are here to help you and to stimulate you to learn, not to force you. Be curious – everything is interesting if you pay close enough attention. Use these four years well and you will gain both solid knowledge and confidence. But, most of all, learn to think critically, to analyse and understand human behaviour and society – this is the purpose of a university education. And spend time studying abroad. For me, this was my most constructive experience.

My scholarly interests include traditional performing arts in Asia, focusing on Japan, and gender studies. My recent research projects focus on regional performing arts in Japan such as kagura and various dances, and the female versions of all-male traditional performing arts and kabuki masculine heroes in Japanese culture.

As a Japanese studies specialist with a deep interest in every aspect of premodern Japanese society and culture explored within the context of Asia and the world, my research is highly interdisciplinary and comparative. I mostly work in the field of performance studies and gender, examining the way in which societies construct, maintain, enforce, transform and subvert through cultural re/presentation their ideas of gender and gender relations, and especially their ideals of masculinity and femininity. My general research focus has its theoretical basis in contemporary critical thought, more specifically in the modern conceptualisations of the body, power, gender, and performance. Other key terms are the notions of cultural ideology, cultural production, identity, embodiment, hegemony, performativity and citationality of gender.
My recent main research topics are:
-
Production of gender on the stage of Japanese traditional performing arts, from ancient to modern times, as both reflecting societal perceptions and ideals of gender and influencing those. My particular focus has been the exploration of gender and body construction in Edo-period kabuki theatre, which I view as essential for understanding gender construction in premodern Japan, and its influence on contemporary Japanese concepts of “ideal†traditional femininity and masculinity.
-
Conception of female versions of popular all-male performing arts and masculine heroes in the predominantly male traditional performance culture in Japan. There versions include genres such as onna sarugaku “female sarugakuâ€, onna bunraku “female bunrakuâ€, onna-zumo “female sumoâ€, etc., and kabuki productions such as Onna Narukami “Female Narukamiâ€, Onna Shibaraku “Female Shibarakuâ€, etc.
-
Local performing arts in Japan (e.g. nenbutsu kyôgen, rokusai nenbutsu, Kurokawa noh, nôson kabuki, kodomo kabuki, sato kagura, dengaku,etc.) as cultural heritage, and the role of performance in regional communities in terms of gender, identity, policymaking, promotion of local culture and products, food, and tourism.
