My name is Annette Thorsen Vilslev. I am a PhD fellow in Comp. lit. at the Department of Arts and Cultural Studies, University of Copenhagen:

My dissertation is about the writings of modern Japanese author Natsume Soseki. I compare his literature theory and novels and read them in the light of world literature and affect theory, which I believe allow for both close reading and more general discussions of how to include in the field of world literary theory also criticism from outside the EU or the US.
