講義目的・到達目標
Japan is sometimes called a “soft superpower,” referring to the difference between hard power (usually in the form of military capability) and soft power (or cultural influence). This course is a content and language integrated learning class that introduces students to the historical contexts and social implications behind contemporary popular culture in Japan. We will explore a wide variety of artistic media, ranging from manga, anime, and literature to fashion, film, and music. Of particular concern will be the way culture has developed in the postwar period and how Japanese culture has influenced global trends. Discussion, group work and participation are emphasized in this course.
