Anne Allison is Robert E. Keohane Professor of Anthropology and Women's Studies at Duke University. She is a cultural anthropologist who researches the intersection between the political economy and imaginative dreamworlds of everyday life in Japan. Among her many publications are the books Nightwork: Sexuality, Pleasure, and Corporate Masculinity in a Tokyo Hostess Club (1994), Permitted and Prohibited Desires: Mothers, Comics, and Censorship in Japan (1996), and Millenial Monsters: Japanese Toys and the Global Imagination (2006).
Her current work focuses on precarious workers and the precarity of sociality as well as the hope, and hopelessness, surrounding futurity in the context of 21st century Japan. How, for example, is hope reconfigured in a context of rising insecurities and in a place that has historically linked success to national character?
