Description:

In this survey course, we will be reading work by modern Japanese authors as early as Mori Ogai and Ryunosuke Akutagawa, to more contemporary writers such as Haruki Murakami and Banana Yoshimoto. We will discuss the influence of Western culture on Japan beginning in the Meiji period (1868-1912), as well as the influences of modernism and postmodernism on Japanese writers. Students will be put into groups, which will do presentations on assigned readings, and everyone will write a short essay on an author of his or her choice.
