思想・芸術Ⅳ(PEAK)

What is “Modern,” “Japanese,” “Literature”? Exploring Japan’s Modernity through Literary Discourse
This course will explore developments and trends in modern Japanese literature, society, and culture. We will analyse literary discourse dealing with the encounters between Japan and the world from the beginning of the Meiji period up to the Second World War, as well as works illustrating the way modernisation redefined human relations during the same period of time.
At the end of this course, students will have sufficient information about the historical, social, and cultural background of the literary works read in class, and will be able to put them into perspective, questioning the dichotomies “Japan-West,” “modern-traditional,” and looking at literature as their locus of dialogue. They will have also learned about various literary theories and analytical methodologies, which will allow them to engage with the texts in a critical way, in order to produce meaningful discussions, presentations, and essays.
