授業概要 / Course Description
This Japanese Culture and Contemporary Literature course examines contemporary Japanese literature, including works written by Haruki Murakami 村上春樹 and Yoko Tawada 多和田葉子. These two writers spent living abroad and are often referred to as “globally oriented Japanese authors” whose writing styles are considered non-traditional by the Japanese literary establishment. In fact, Murakami himself states that he is an “outcast,” and Tawada seems to identify with “outsiders” whom she portrays in her works. However, at the same time, many Western critics and readers find that Japanese culture is very much a part of their works. By reading stories of these Japanese writers who have strong connections with the Western world, students explore historical and cultural issues that have dominated Japanese society and examines crucial ideas and positions currently shaping Japanese thought—which are viewed from both the inside and outside of Japan.
This course is mainly student-driven, and thus students are expected to actively engage with others in the course and prepare to discuss various topics in class. Since it is a communication intensive course in which students are required to have a series of discussion and deliver group presentations, class attendance and participation are mandatory.
This class may adopt COIL practice (Collaborative Online International Learning), in which students will connect online with overseas students to work collaboratively to complete a project. COIL aims to provide learning opportunities for the students to gain desirable employability qualities, such as intercultural competency, digital literacy, leadership skills, ect.
*For more information about COIL for this course, please directly contact the instructor or ask them at the first class.本科目は「COIL（Collaborative Online International Learning：海外との協働学習）」を取り入れる場合があります。COILでは海外の学生とオンラインで繋がり、チームプロジェクト等を通して協働学習を行います。COILを実践することで、異文化理解力、デジタルリテラシー、リーダーシップ力等これからのグローバル人材が必要とされる能力の向上を目的としています。※COILを実施するかどうかは、担当講師に直接問い合わせるか、授業初日に確認してください。
