About
Ted Mack is a professor in the Department of Asian Languages & Literature at the University of Washington. He holds a Ph.D. in Modern Japanese Literature from Harvard University (2002), an M.A. in Modern Japanese Literature from Columbia University (1996), and a B.A. in History from the University of Texas, Austin (1990). His research interests include modern Japanese-language prose, art and capitalism, the flow of literary works within the Japanese linguistic community, the function of power in the literary field, and theories of diaspora and heterogeneity that challenge culturalist concepts of national identity. Currently, his research focuses on the function of Japanese-language literature outside the nation-state, particularly in Brazil and the United States, examining the production and consumption of literary texts both within and outside Japan. Mack has received notable recognition for his scholarly work, including the MLA Aldo and Jeanne Scaglione Prize for East Asian Studies in 2023. His contributions to the field include publications on Japanese literature, publishing, and cultural history, and he teaches courses on modern Japanese literature, cinema, and culture at the University of Washington.
