Research

Erin Schoneveld is an Assistant Professor in the Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures and Director of the Visual Studies Program at Haverford College. Schoneveld’s scholarship and teaching engages with modern and contemporary Japanese art, cinema, and visual culture examining how these methods of cultural production have evolved into unique modes of address, exhibition practices, and pedagogical strategies in light of a rapidly globalizing world. Her book Shirakaba and Japanese Modernism: Art Magazines, Artistic Collectives, and the Early Avant-garde (Brill 2019) provides a new framework for understanding the tensions between the local and the universal that accompanied the global development of modernism by examining one of the most significant Japanese art and literary magazines of the early 20th century. Schoneveld’s second book project Naomi Kawase and the Future of Japanese Cinema seeks to address the dearth of scholarship on the role of Japanese women directors within national and world cinema cultures by evaluating Kawase’s auteur status at the intersection of film history, reception theory, gender, and identity. Schoneveld’s research has received support from the Japan Foundation, Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, Luce Foundation, Metropolitan Center for Far Eastern Art Studies, and the Japan Art History Forum.
