Kerim Yasar specializes in modern Japanese literature and cinema, media history, and translation studies. His book, 'Electrified Voices: Telephone, Phonograph, Radio Shaped Modern Japan, 1868-1945' (Columbia University Press, 2018), examines the roles played by telegraph, telephone, phonograph, radio, and sound film in shaping discursive, aesthetic, and ideological practices in Japan from 1868 to 1945. He is also working on a project tentatively entitled 'Gestures of Light: Body in Japanese Cinema,' which is a critical theoretical meditation on physical expressivity and representations of the body in Japanese film.
