EAST-UA 269 - Japanese Language and Structure in Mass Media

Institution:

New York University

Subject:

Description:

Introduces students to various ways in which Japanese language shapes and is shaped by mass media. Students learn the dynamic challenges posed to the formal structure of the language (for instance, grammar) as it is practiced in multiple mediums such as television, film (including anime), and print culture (graphic novels, and genre literature such as crime novels). The course also addresses the practice of translation-for instance, the grammar of cinematic modes juxtaposed with the grammar of literary language, the vernacular, and so on. This course is for post-Intermediate I through Advanced II students who would like to develop more oral-aural skills at the second-year level. (Post- Advanced II students should take Conversation and Composition in Japanese, EAST-UA 262.)
