Since the mid-nineteenth century, Americans have viewed Japan as the Orient's most exotic and mysterious recess, alternately enticing and frightening in its difference. Intense economic relations and cultural exchange between Japan and the U.S. have not dispelled the image of Japanese society and culture as fundamentally different from our own. In this course, we will strive for greater understanding of shared experiences as well as historical particularities. Issues covered may vary from one semester to another, but frequently focus on work, women, minorities, and popular culture. Films and anthropological works provide ethnographic examples of some key concepts. Meets multicultural requirement; meets Social Sciences III-A requirement J. Roth 4 credits

(Speaking- and writing-intensive course)We shop for our food, for our clothes, for our colleges.We purchase cars, manicures, and vacations. It seems that there is little that cannot be bought or sold. But we also give and receive gi?s, exchange favors, "go dutch?n restaurants, and invite friends for potlucks. This course examines exchange systems cross-culturally, in order to understand their cultural significance and social consequences. It explores how our own commodity exchange system, which appears to be no more than an efficient means of distributing goods and services, in fact contains intriguing symbolic dimensions similar to the gi? exchange systems of Native North America, Melanesia, and Africa.
