Description:

This course explores the dynamics of Japanese culture, old and new, high and low, within itself and in relation to other cultures, particularly the West. Its approach is broadly comparative: "interdisciplinary" to examine the interrelationships among differentarts and cultural phenomena in the Japanese society, and "intercultural" to study the mutual relationships and influencesbetween Japan and western countries. Each topic is placed in wide historical, religious, social and artistic contexts, in search of its contemporary meanings and expression. Fulfills the diversity and humanities requirements. Also offered as Global Studies 245 and through Literature in (English) Translation and Asian Studies.
