1500年以上に及ぶ英語の歴史を、現代から後期近代英語期（1700-1945）→初期近代英語期（1500-1700）→中英語期（1150-1500）→古英語期（600-1150）と順に遡ります。各時代における英語の発音・形態・文法・語彙に関する諸特徴や、英語がなぜ・どのように変化してきたかを学ぶことで、現代英語への理解を深めることを目標とします。 We will trace the history of English language that spans more than 1,500 years, starting from the present day to the Late Modern English period (1700-1945), Early Modern English period (1500-1700), Middle English period (1150-1500) and Old English period (600-1150), i.e. reverse chronological order. By studying features of sounds, morphology, syntax and lexicon of the language in each period and how and why English has changed, we will aim to deepen our understanding of Present-day English.

This course examines cultural heritage, law and policy across countries in the Asia-Pacific region, with a particular focus on Indigenous cultural heritage and traditional knowledge, alongside international and comparative approaches to the protection of heritage. The term ‘cultural heritage’ can refer to a broad range of concepts, including tangible heritage (sites, monuments, objects), intangible heritage (language, stories, customs, lore), movable and immovable heritage. It may refer to the cultural heritage of a specific country, and/or the cultural heritage of specific Indigenous groups within that country. Law and policy do not always recognise these distinctions. Issues affecting cultural heritage can range from the impact of colonisation; a failure to recognise and protect Indigenous groups; the impact of war; and modern environmental factors. The first part of the course introduces students to the course concepts, focusing on traditional knowledge, Indigenous cultural heritage, the role of colonisation, and more general approaches to the term ‘cultural heritage’. It then examines the different international organisations that oversee and legal frameworks that have been introduced in this area, some effective and some less so, in addition to the approaches that individual countries have adopted in protecting these different areas, using existing intellectual property regimes or bespoke heritage law. The second part of the course focuses on specific country case studies, including Australia, New Zealand, Vietnam and Indonesia, examining the Indigenous cultural heritage and traditional knowledge of groups within these countries and the various, significant challenges that these Indigenous groups have faced. It then examines the Ainu people and recent legal efforts in Japan recognise and protect the culture of this group, before turning to the comprehensive domestic and international protection that Japan has adopted for its cultural heritage more generally. The course finishes with a reflection on the role of museums in the displacement of Indigenous cultural heritage and cultural heritage more generally; the ongoing, recent attempts to return Indigenous tangible cultural heritage to ancestors; and how law may help or hinder such attempts. Students do not need to have undertaken any prior legal study to successfully complete this course.

民主主義の危機の時代が来た。そう論じるのが、ここ数年の政治学の流行である。だが、我々が目撃しているのは、民主主義の危機なのだろうか。そこには、民主主義の危機にとどまらない、より根本的な人間社会の危機が潜んでいるのではないか。 そのような観点から、この演習ではハンナ・アーレント『全体主義の起原』を通読する。なぜなら、アーレントこそは、実際に危機の時代を生きた思想家だった。その文章は、政治体制論としても興味深いのみならず、人種主義論、市民社会論、国民国家論といった、今日の政治について考える上で不可欠なトピックに関しても、実に独創的な考察に溢れている。 その一方で、アーレントの考察には、今日の学問から見ると疑問符がつくものも少なくない。特にその官僚制論は、行政学の授業で学ぶような近代官僚制の姿とは大きく異なっている。それでは、なぜそのような違いが生じるのか。この疑問に応える上でも、実際にアーレントの文章を読むことには大きな意味がある。 従って、この演習では是々非々の態度でアーレントの大著と格闘してみよう。おそらく、学べることは多い。
