  • JPN 207: Film As Object

    4.00 Credits
    University of Rochester

    Film Studies involves the critical analysis of the pictorial and narrative qualities of motion pictures, film theory, and film history, understanding film as both industry and creative art. This course unconventionally focuses on the tangible object at the origin of the onscreen image, and what we can learn about the social, cultural and historical value of motion pictures and national film cinemas through an understanding of “Film” as an organic element with a finite life cycle. Focus is on the photographic element, but includes a consideration of alternative “capture media.”

  • JPN 233: The Cuture Of Zen

    4.00 Credits
    University of Rochester

    Zen Buddhism was the core around which many of Japan’s greatest cultural achievements evolved. From the medieval period on, with its importation from China, the culture of Zen served as the primary context for much of Japanese metaphysics, architecture, landscape and interior design, medicine, ink painting, noh drama, haiku poetry, as well as the entire cultural complex known as the tea ceremony. Along with the Zen doctrinal and textual roots of these remarkable achievements, this course will examine the vibrant culture fostered in the medieval Zen monastic temple institution known as the Gozan and its dispersal into the culture at large.
