Bio: Yuki Masami is Professor at Kanazawa University where she teaches environmental literature and English as a Foreign Language. She has been publishing books and articles on American and Japanese environmental literature with special focuses on topics such as literary soundscapes, urban nature, and discourses on food and toxicity. She is also a translator and has worked on Japanese translations of American literature and scholarly articles as well as English translations of Japanese literature. In her most recent book, Tabi no houe (Suiseisha, 2012; the English translation by Michael Berman, tentatively entitled Around the Hearth of Modernity: Ecocritical Approaches to Foodscapes of Contemporary Japanese Women Writers, will be published by Palgrave Macmillan), she examines social, political, and aesthetic implications of foodscapes represented in works of Ishimure Michiko, Taguchi Randy, Morisaki Kazue, and Nashiki Kaho. Her recent project is a comparative study of contemporary foodways in American and Japanese literature and beyond. |
