Fields of interest
My fields of interest include (Chinese) literature and culture, translation, language and language acquisition. My research specialization lies in contemporary Chinese poetry. There was poetry before there was Chinese - this proposition is defensible as a general claim, and it definitely holds for my personal development as a scholar. I like to think of my research as three-dimensional: text (poems), context (socio-political surroundings) and metatext (discourse on poetry). Building on textual analysis as well as regular fieldwork in China undertaken since 1991, my work also draws on the history, sociology and anthropology of literature and on translation studies.
Supervision
I supervise MA projects in modern Chinese literature and in modern Chinese cultural production at large, and PhD projects in modern Chinese literature. For both MA and PhD students, I welcome projects that address issues of broadly defined (cultural) translation, and projects that focus on cultural production's interfaces with history, politics, society and so on.
