Japanese History

bsteininger@ias.edu

Statement: I am examining media practices of scholarship in thirteenth- and fourteenth-century Japan—the interrelation between technologies of inscription, book circulation, and knowledge production. An important component of this story is (xylographic) print, both locally produced and imported, whose relationship to the broader manuscript culture needs to be better understood.
