\n\n \n

Associate Professor, East Asian Languages and Cultures
\n\u2014<\/strong><\/p>\n

David Bialock<\/strong>\u2019s research focuses on classical Japanese literature, especially the body of medieval literature related to\u00a0The Tale of the Heike\u00a0<\/em>and its variants. Other interests include Japanese poetry from classical\u00a0waka<\/em>\u00a0to the\u00a0haiku\u00a0<\/em>tradition, and the interactions between East Asian poetic practices and various twentieth century modernisms from imagism to objectivism, etc. At present, he is working on several projects: a study of musical ideas in Japanese literature and ritual; and a collection of essays in ecocriticism that applies interdisciplinary perspectives to the study of literature, ritual, and the environment. In his teaching teaching, Bialock brings Japanese literature into dialog with world literature, and vice-versa. Recent teaching includes courses in Japanese fiction and film and a course on Japanese and East Asian literature and the environment. He is author of\u00a0Eccentric Spaces, Hidden Histories: Narrative, Ritual, and Royal Authority from The Chronicles of Japan to The Tale of the Heike\u00a0<\/em>(Stanford University Press, 2007).<\/p>\n

Associate Professor and Chair, School of Religion
\n\u2014<\/strong><\/p>\n

Lori Meeks<\/strong>\u2019 research interests are in the social, cultural, and intellectual histories of Japanese Buddhism. Much of her work has focused, in particular, on clarifying the roles of women as consumers and practitioners of Buddhism in the Heian and Kamakura periods (roughly ninth through early fourteenth centuries). Her research has also attempted to shed light on the ways in which gender is handled in Buddhist texts, on the roles that Buddhist texts played in the dissemination of gendered ideology, and on popular responses to doctrinal discussions of sex and gender. Other interests include the social history of monasticism and the role of the arts in Buddhist practice. She is author of a\u00a0Hokkeji and the Reemergence of Female Monastic Orders in Premodern Japan<\/em>\u00a0(University of Hawai\u2019i Press, 2010), and is currently working on a manuscript titled\u00a0In the Shadows of the Sacred: Women and Popular Buddhism in Premodern Japan<\/em>, and another titled\u00a0How Buddhist Views of the Female Body Entered Popular Discourse: Tracing Ideological Change in Late Medieval and Early Modern Japan<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Assistant Professor of East Asian Languages and Cultures<\/p>\n

Kerim\u00a0Yasar specializes in modern Japanese literature and cinema, media history, and translation studies. His first book,\u00a0Electrified Voices: Auditory Technology and Culture in Prewar Japan<\/em>\u00a0(forthcoming from Columbia University Press in 2018), examines the roles played by the telegraph, telephone, phonograph, radio, and sound film in the discursive, aesthetic, and ideological practices of Japan from 1868 to 1945. His second project, tentatively\u00a0entitled\u00a0Gestures in Light: The Body in Japanese Cinema<\/em>,\u00a0is a critical and theoretical meditation on physical expressivity and representations of the body in Japanese film from the silent era to the early twenty-first century; at the same time, it offers a concise history of the development of film acting as a performance\u00a0tradition in Japan. In addition to this research, Yasar is active as a translator in a variety of genres and media, from contemporary novels to pre-modern poetry to the subtitles for more than a hundred feature films in the Criterion Collection\/Janus Films\u00a0library, including classic works by directors such as Kurosawa Akira, Ozu Yasujiro, and Oshima Nagisa. Prior to coming to USC, Yasar taught at Ohio State, Notre Dame, and Boston University, and was a postdoctoral fellow in the Society of Fellows in the Liberal\u00a0Arts at Princeton University.<\/p>\n
