授業概要   Course Description Demons, ghosts, and monsters have populated the cultural landscape in Japan for centuries. Appearing in anime, manga, games, and movies, mysterious creatures continue to form the core of contemporary popular culture, and have sparked a global obsession with Japanese monsters. This course will explore the cultural history of the strange and supernatural in Japanese literary, visual, and performing arts. Engaging with primary and critical sources from the eighth century to the present, we will consider the social roles that representations of the weird have played in Japan.
到達目標   Class Goals -gain an understanding of Japan’s major historical and cultural developments
-acquire the methodological and theoretical skills necessary to analyze and critique primary sources and construct a logical argument
-think critically and write about how ideologies and specific contexts in Japan have given rise to various supernatural creatures
