Culture and Catastrophe: Japanese Culture Responding to Disaster

The course looks at the representations of disaster in various media such as literature, theatre, film, or manga. It explores the role of the arts for investigating the human experience of calamities including the Fukushima triple disaster and the nuclear bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Scrutinizing these tragic occurrences, the course will question, for example, how artists participate in shaping perceptions about natural and man-made disaster, how memory is re-shaped in cultural production, or discuss the sociopolitical potentials of art works. The readings will introduce students to theories and methods of analyzing artistic discourse and help them to situate their findings into the wider context of Japanese society and culture.
