Abstract

Donald Keene ha sido seguramente el estudioso de la literatura japonesa más importante de la segunda mitad del siglo XX. Neoyorquino por origen, se formó en la Universidad de Columbia y en la escuela de lenguas del ejército de los EE.UU. La segunda guerra mundial, lo llevó a Hawai pri-mero, y de allí pasó a Japón. Continuó su formación en Cambridge (UK), y tras dos años en Japón se convirtió en el mayor especialista occidental en literatura japonesa, y uno de sus mejores traductores. En su obra destacan las traducciones de Chikamatsu, Matsuo Basho, Osamu Dazai o Yukio Mishima, por citar algunos ejemplos. Al pasar gran parte de su vida profesional entre Nueva York y Japón, con-tribuyó en gran medida a dar a conocer la literatura japonesa en los círculos intelectuales y editoriales estadounidenses e internacionales en general. En este artículo efectuamos un repaso de su vida y su obra y argumentamos que el reconocimiento del lugar de la literatura japonesa en el canon universal se debe en gran parte a su aportación como estudioso y divulgador. De forma paralela, se convirtió en un referente para el mundo literario japonés y en uno de los puentes de la cultura nipona con el exterior.

Impact and social visibility

From the perspective of influence or social adoption, and based on metrics associated with mentions and interactions provided by agencies specializing in calculating the so-called "Alternative or Social Metrics," we can highlight as of 2025-05-25:

  • The use of this contribution in bookmarks, code forks, additions to favorite lists for recurrent reading, as well as general views, indicates that someone is using the publication as a basis for their current work. This may be a notable indicator of future more formal and academic citations. This claim is supported by the result of the "Capture" indicator, which yields a total of: 2 (PlumX).

It is essential to present evidence supporting full alignment with institutional principles and guidelines on Open Science and the Conservation and Dissemination of Intellectual Heritage. A clear example of this is:

  • The work has been submitted to a journal whose editorial policy allows open Open Access publication.
  • Additionally, the work has been submitted to a journal classified as Diamond in relation to this type of editorial policy.
Continuing with the social impact of the work, it is important to emphasize that, due to its content, it can be assigned to the area of interest of ODS 4 - Quality Education, with a probability of 84% according to the mBERT algorithm developed by Aurora University.
