Outline (in English)
This class examines how American culture has understood and utilized the culture of "kawaii" in Japan through the comparative study of cuteness in both the United States and Japan.
Students will be able to:
1. show how media texts are shaped by their distinctive local, national, international, and transnational contexts.
2. gain a cross-cultural perspective of Japanese popular culture aesthetics.
This course aims to teach how to understand the "diversity of parodies of cute Japan" critically. Learning how to do this requires that you examine media content and texts closely and read critical essays on them with the guidance of the lecturer, as well as through discussions with your classmates.
Preparing for quizzes at the beginning of each class: 2 hours.
Reading a chapter of the textbook: 2 hours.
There will be small tests at the beginning of each class. Grading shall be as follows:
1. Quizzes in class: 50%.
2. Final exam: 50%.
Three or more absences from discussion sessions without a valid and well-documented reason will lower your final course grade by one full grade.
