Research Areas

Aesthetics, Art

1) French Aesthetics and Art Theory (with particular focus on Jacques Rancière)

Suzuki is studying how Rancière achieves an aesthetic and political practice of reconfiguring art history through the thematization of popular and marginalized cultural phenomena that have been excluded from the history of modern Western art.

2) Japanese Performing Arts and Comedy

Suzuki examines transformations in performing arts, particularly focusing on rakugo, in relation to various external factors such as the maturation of criticism, institutionalization by the state, and the influx of Western modern art perspectives.
