Research summary

Luyue’s doctoral research studies the influence of East Asian culture on the  visual presentation of José Juan Tablada's poetry. 

Focusing on the two key words in the poetic career of the Mexican writer José Juan Tablada (1871-1945), visual poetry and East Asian culture, her research project investigates how Japanese and Chinese visual art and literature affect the development of Tablada's method of presenting poetic texts. The investigation considers two questions: East Asian culture influences Tablada's visual poetry in what way? How does the influence evolve chronologically?
