Faculty of Letters Foreign Languages Assistant Professor
Research Overview
My main field of research is Basque Literature, and I also translate works of Basque-language authors into Japanese. Focused on Bernardo Atxaga's trajectory and works, I have considered the process of exponential development of contemporary literature in Basque since the mid-20th century. Other research interests include bilingualism in literatures produced in multilingual areas and/or in minoritized languages, translation (esp. self-translation) and world literature.
