nele.noppe@gmail.com BioMe: having a go at a Ph.D in Japanese Studies. Being paid to make educational materials based on manga, to do comparisons between the depiction of the character of Severus Snape as he appears in Japanese and English-language HP fanfic and dojinshi, and to translate manga to Dutch. Quite pleased with that situation, in spite of the lack of free time.
Fannish interests: drew and wrote a lot of quite embarrassing stuff in several comic and manga fandoms, before going to uni and becoming old and boring. Now mainly lurking around HP fandom and devouring anything involving Snape in any way. Trying to kick-start the drawing habit again.
Research: starting the summer of 2008, about differences and similarities between Japanese and English-language fanwork, by semiotic analysis of representative textual and visual depictions of Severus Snape in fanfic, fanart, dojinshi (Japanese fan comics) and shosetsu (Japanese fanfic). No, really. In a very academically relevant fashion. I crosspost here and to LJ from this Fanfic Forensics, which is the dead serious, window-to-a-Ph.D-project version of this journal (and also hosts research results, data sets, in-depth info etc etc). I need a place where I can also be totally unprofessional and throw around fic recs, rant about academia, and rhapsodize about the absolute snarky sarcastic wonderfulness of the research subject.
Currently translating: 'Neon Genesis Evangelion', 'Fruits Basket', 'One Piece', 'Battle Angel Alita', '20th Century Boys', and 'Nausicaä of the Valley of Wind'. All of which are very highly recommended, and not just because my job security would benefit from people buying lots of manga tomes. My favourite part of translating is that as you pick apart every single word, think about character motivations, do background reading about a manga's subject et cetera and so forth, you begin to realize that what appears to be a moderately entertaining little story is actually so bloody deep and moving and intelligent that there are no words for it. Same as with research -more knowledge and understanding translates directly into higher appreciation.
