授業の概要と目的（何を学ぶか）Outline and objectives
When asked to speak about Japan, individuals often turn to pop-cultural phenomena, such as manga, anime, or cosplay. This implies a link between culture and nation that is vital, yet ambiguous. What do folks mean when they say they like Japanese culture? Why has Japan become so popular?
Drawing on cultural and media studies, this course will explore the historical and theoretical study of Japanese popular culture. Lectures and discussions will engage with media forms and case studies from many eras, covering topics ranging from Takarazuka theater and pre-war radio culture to anime fandom and the so-called “golden age of Japanese cinema.” The course culminates with students delivering a presentation and submitting an essay on a pop-cultural phenomenon not covered in depth during a class session.
到達目標Goal
Students will learn many of the key theories, terms, and arguments of cultural studies, especially as those ideas relate to Japan. Students will practice analyzing, historically contextualizing, and writing about specific pop-cultural phenomena. Students should leave the course with a refined ability to define and discuss abstract concepts such as nation, culture, and what it means for something to be “Japanese.”
