معرفی
Hiroko Nishiguchi is a Professor of German at the School of Creative Science and Engineering, Waseda University, specializing in fairy tale studies and cross-cultural adaptations of Western literature in Japan. She focuses on the reception of the Brothers Grimm's fairy tales during the Meiji and Taishō periods, analyzing textual and illustrative modifications in Japanese translations. Her research also explores the interplay between Swiss-German literary traditions and Japanese cultural interpretations.
Her work includes a 2019 presentation at the International Symposium 'Heidi from Japan: Anime, Narratives, and Swiss Receptions', addressing adaptations of Johanna Spyri's Heidi into Japanese anime and subsequent German translations. This aligns with her broader interest in cross-cultural visual narratives and Japanese-Western cultural exchange.
