Interdisciplinary Japanese Cultural Studies Course

This course provides students with an overview of Japanese culture, while also examining the development and progression of Japan as a culture from a multifaceted viewpoint. Japan as a culture is not simply confined to events within the Japanese archipelago, but rather exists through negotiations with the cultures of East Asia and interrelations with Western countries. It is therefore becoming increasingly crucial to examine historically how Japanese culture has been thematized and represented overseas. With this in mind, the curriculum of this course allows students to gain essential skills for research in Japanese culture in the core classes, as well as explore a wide variety of classical and contemporary topics according to their interests across literature, history, linguistics, philosophy, entertainment and the arts. With an interdisciplinary approach shared by both faculty staff and students alike, we aim to actively absorb the achievements of researchers in Japanese studies abroad, while also sharing our own research outputs with the global research community.
