Outline (in English)

This course takes a thematic approach to the history and present of the Japan-U.S. relationship. The major themes selected for this pedagogy are as follows: 1) nuclear weapons, 2) Okinawa, 3) U.S. military bases in Japan, 4) the politics of race (Japanese-Americans and Nisei soldiers), 5) war and militarism in U.S. society, and 6) the contemporary Japan-U.S. security relationship. We will watch seven works that address these themes and analyze various dimensions of the Japan-U.S. relationship featured in each work. Further, the students will not only develop a historical understanding of the selected themes per se but also consider the producers’ aims and additional information and supplementary knowledge essential for a further intellectual step. Through the practice of evaluating multiple films based on lectures, assignments, and discussions, the students will cultivate media literacy and acquire a multi-dimensional understanding of the Japan-U.S. relationship.
