Description:

Examines the history of U.S.-Japan relations, beginning with the first official contacts in the mid-19th century, and continuing to the present.

The class considers the opinions and works of political leaders, academics, military figures, popular writers, filmmakers, social activists, and minorities in studying the evolution of exchange and mutual representation. The aim is to address the broader question of how images of others and the self are mutually constituted and are always affected by the changing relations of power.
