【指導方針概要】
(Spring) Colonial/Postcolonial Studies
This course introduces students to the interdisciplinary field of colonial and postcolonial studies/critiques. We will read the major theories and literature that have shaped the field over recent decades. Importantly, we will also ask how these colonial/postcolonial critiques can be translated into the context of East Asia. In this course, we will focus in particular on the experience of modern Japan, both its relation to the West as well as the colonial and postcolonial experience of the Japanese empire.
(Fall) Gender, Sexuality, and the Politics of Queer in Modern Japan
In this course, we will examine the history of modern Japan particularly through the theoretical frameworks of gender and sexuality from 1600 to the present. We will explore not only how gender relations between men and women changed historically but also the shifting gender/sexual relations and dynamics between men and men, women and women, and other socially constructed identities.
(For Both Semesters)
This course will be conducted by using a combination of interactive lectures, class discussions, and student presentations on class materials and their own research. All students will be expected to read all the assigned readings for the date indicated on the syllabus. Each week, one or two students will make an approximately 15 minute-long presentation on the readings that fosters our discussion in class.
