Area di ricerca e parole chiave
La mia ricerca attuale riguarda la poesia giapponese tanka da una prospettiva femminista, con particolare attenzione alle produzioni dell’epoca post-digitale.
Indago tre aspetti: la coincidenza tra forma metrica tradizionale e contenuti di protesta; le potenzialità e i limiti dell’impegno politico e della agency queer-femminista; la particolarità culturale di questo genere letterario e il suo sviluppo transculturale.
