not offered 2008-09 The focus of this course will be to explore the nexus between Mahayana Buddhist ideas and classical Japanese literature. We will attempt to discover how monks and poets used the vocabulary of Japanese Buddhism not only to create works of fiction and poetry, but also to articulate and develop a vocabulary of Japanese literary aesthetics. In particular, we will read poems and short narratives by Buddhist recluses, including Saigyo, Ippen, Ikkyu, Basho, and Ryokan. Students will be asked to write short papers, give oral presentations, submit a longer term paper, and participate in a final oral examination. All readings will be in English, but a background in Japanese language would be extremely helpful. Not open to first-year students. Distribution area: humanities or alternative voices.
