Tom Hare
Thomas Blenman Hare is the William Sauter LaPorte '28 Professor in Regional Studies and the Chair of the Department of Comparative Literature at Princeton University.
Originally trained as a Japanologist and spending much of his career at Stanford University, Hare has broken new ground by applying post-structuralist analysis of semiotics and discourse of the body to ancient Egyptian language and culture in his book ReMembering Osiris: Number, Gender, and the Word in Ancient Egyptian Representational Systems, and, most recently, brought speech-act theory and performance studies to bear on Japanese Noh drama in his translation and commentary on Zeami's Performance Notes. He has also written on Kūkai and Kamo no Chōmei.
