INFORMAZIONI SU QUESTO EPISODIO
This episode features the word ‘OUTPUT’.
In this inaugural episode of Busting Buzzwords we meet Matt Shores. Matt is a Senior Lecturer in the Discipline of Japanese Studies at The University of Sydney.
He has a Ph.D. in Japanese literature and specialises in Edo-period (1600-1868) literary arts and entertainment. His research and interests span eras before this to the present day.
Matt apprenticed with rakugo (comic storytelling) masters Katsura Bunshi V (1930-2005) and Hayashiya Somemaru IV (b. 1949) and has trained in other traditional performing arts, such as bunraku, kabuki, kyōgen, nō, shamisen, etc., to supplement his understanding of premodern Japan and be better situated to illustrate that it was anything but quiet or confined to the page.
He has worked with numerous scholars and licensed practitioners, examining and translating works, performing in and staging productions, and enjoys involving students in educational and outreach projects.
In our conversation, Matt refers to his personal website which you can find here: https://mwshores.com. His academic profile page is here: https://www.sydney.edu.au/arts/about/our-people/academic-staff/matthew-shores.html.
