ANTH 34386 - Japanese Culture and Art II

Institution:

University of Notre Dame

Subject:

Anthropology

Description:

Japanese cultural history is often characterized by its accommodation of influences from diverse cultures on the Asian continent. However, the major cultural influences during Japan's more recent history have, especially during the modern period, come via direct contact with Western civilization, which Japan has been eager to accommodate. In a short space of time, Japan has adopted and adapted Western models of civilization and culture to form its own brand of culture. This course seeks to account for the development of Japanese culture through its history of exchange with the Asian continent and Western civilization, involving an examination of various aspects of the arts and religious and philosophical thought. Topics of this course focus mainly on modernized Japan.
