My current research looks at Japanese tanka poetry from a feminist perspective, putting an emphasis on recent creations of the postdigital era. I investigate three aspects: the mutuality of old form and new content; the potentials and limitations of political engagement; tanka poetry's cultural particularity and its transcultural flow.
La mia ricerca attuale si concentra sulla poesia tanka giapponese da una prospettiva femminista, con particolare attenzione alle elaborazioni in ambito digitale. Indago tre aspetti principali: la reciprocità tra forma antica e contenuto nuovo; le potenzialità e i limiti dell’impegno politico; infine, la particolarità culturale della poesia tanka e la sua circolazione transculturale.
本研究は、日本の短歌をフェミニズムの視点から考察し、とりわけポストデジタル時代における新しい創作に焦点を当てている。具体的には、以下の三点を分析の対象とする。第一に、古い形式と新しい内容との相互関係。第二に、政治的関与の可能性と限界。第三に、短歌の文化的特殊性とそのトランスカルチュラルな広がりである。
