授業の概要と目的(何を学ぶか)Outline and objectives
How do we process the experience of encountering a new language and culture? How does that process in turn affect our own personal language and identity? In this course, we will read translations of personal essays and fiction written in the Japanese language by contemporary authors undergoing such experiences, including Japanese authors living abroad and non-Japanese authors writing in their adopted language. As we compare their stories and observations, we will also consider how the act of writing provides each author with a space to form and perform new cultural identities and personal idioms.
到達目標Goal
Students will practice reading and writing critically as they explore dynamics of culture, language, and identity in modern Japanese literature.
授業で使用する言語Default language used in class

Classes will be divided roughly evenly between lectures and guided discussions. Short quizzes will be given to assess comprehension of weekly readings. Students will submit midterm and final papers. In-class feedback will be given for daily reaction papers, and students will receive personal feedback on written assignments. Please note that the teaching approach may vary according to which threat level we are at: at level 1, 70% of this course will be held on campus, though at level 2, 50% will be held on campus.
