Outline (in English)
In this course, we will analyze how gender and sexuality issues manifest throughout culture in Japan. Why do we need to discuss gender and sexuality in relation to Japanese contemporary culture? Who do we talk about when we discuss such issues? We will approach these questions from different perspectives and disciplines, such as anthropology, history, literature, media, etc. While the main focus of this course is the representation of gender and sexuality in contemporary Japanese society, we will also address these issues in a global context.
Learning goals
1. To become familiar with historical sources and social and political elements in regard to the construction of gender within contemporary Japanese society.
2. To develop critical thinking strategies and apply them in order to understand how gender and sexuality are represented within contemporary Japanese media.
3. To incorporate a gender perspective while participating in academic discussions, presenting on a selected topic, and writing analytical papers.
Grading policy
Discussion and participation (comment sheets, involvement during discussion): 20%
Active participation in class is required. Submit your comments via Hoppii at the end of each session.
Attendance will be taken every time. You will not receive credit for the course if you miss more than four classes.
