OBLAST ZÁJMU:
Kulturní a intelektuální dějiny moderního Japonska
Dějiny lidské zkušenosti se měří a vypravují různými způsoby. Často zapomínáme, že se nám předkládá jako skutečnost, je pouze jednou z mnoha možností. Zajímá mne zkoumání procesů, struktur a systému, které se podílí na formování znalostí a kulturních interpretací, a způsoby, jak je naše skutečnost vytvářena. Cílem mého výzkumu je identifikovat minulost v přítomnosti a využití těchto zjištění jako nástrojů politické a společenské kritiky.
