講義概要
This course offers a comparative study on modern Japanese culture (from the Meiji Restoration to the Second World War) from various perspectives, particularly focusing on the influence of Western culture. Students are required to attend all classes and submit two essays in English. All texts are read and discussion is conducted in English.
講義の目的
The chief objective of the course is to consider the relationship between Japanese culture and Western culture. By examining descriptions of Western culture in Japanese literature, students will discover how the Japanese have perceived and transformed Western culture into their own culture through modernization.
Another objective is to explore how Western people have observed Japan and the difference between images of ‘traditional Japan’ and ‘modern Japan’ in modern Western literature. The study of Western people’s attitudes toward ‘modern Japan’ will help students to understand present-day Japan as a part of the international society.
This course will encourage students to understand Japanese culture in a comparative way.
