Research Areas
Contemporary Chinese Literature
1) Chinese Modernist Literature
By focusing on 20th-century Chinese literature, Suzuki interprets how new literary expressions emerged as China came into contact with Western influences and had to face modernity. This is explored dynamically through the interplay between Western modernist thought and China's realities.
2) Contemporary Chinese Intellectuals
The research examines how intellectuals in contemporary China perceive and respond to current realities, gaining an intrinsic understanding of their thought processes, and introduces these insights to Japan.
3) Research on Contemporary Chinese Literature in Japan
Investigates the historical process by which the study of contemporary Chinese literature in Japan has developed, exploring how it has addressed Japanese intellectual issues while observing contemporary China from a unique perspective. It, thus, contributes to producing distinctive Chinese literary studies in Japan.
