Noriko Hiraishi

University of Tsukuba


Noriko Hiraishi is Professor of comparative literature at the University of Tsukuba, Japan. She earned her Ph.D. at the University of Tokyo. Through her analysis of European fin-de-siècle literature and modern Japanese literature, she continues to be interested in modernization, exoticism, and female representations, considering graphic narratives to be a very important genre of material for examining these issues. She is also currently engaged in research on contemporary Japanese literature and culture, focusing on aspects of intercultural dialogue. Her publications on comics include“ Japan in European Shōjo Manga: The Cases of Yonen Buzz and Pink Diary ” (2011 (in Japanese)),“The Poetic Imagination of Shōjo Manga: Ray Bradbury through Moto Hagio’s Eyes”(2015),“Japanese sound-symbolic words in global contexts: from translation to hybridization”(2022), and “Manga and Fukushima:Subjectivity/Objectivity and Political Messages” (2022).
