講義概要/Course description
|
In this class, we will read Keaveney's Beyond Brushtalk to explore interactions between Japanese and Chinese writers from 1919 to 1937. This inter-war period is known as the golden age of such exchange. During this period, travel between Japan and China became easier, which encouraged more Chinese writers to study in Japan. Meanwhile, a variety of Japanese writers traveled to China and interacted with the Chinese intellectuals. Major writers such as Lu Xun, Zhou Zuoren, Tanizaki Jun’ichiro and Hayashi Fumiko are among the topics. This class aims to draw interest of those who are interested in literary exchange in general.
At the point when the class is planed (Jan. 2022), we are looking for the opportunity to teach in a traditional face-to-face meeting style. However, due to the uncertainty of the Covid pandemic, the following plan and schedule of the class are subjects to change. If the pandemic prevents us from meeting in person, the class would be switched to online meetings.
1. PLEASE FINISH YOUR READING ASSIGNMENT based on the syllabus before every class meeting. Due to the copy right issues, unfortunately I am not allowed to upload the PDF files of the textbooks. Please purchase the assigned textbook either in paperback or in electronic version.
2. FACE-TO-FACE CLASS MEETINGS or ON-LINE LIVE MEETINGS: Please attend the class in person if it is allowed to schedule a traditional class meeting. If not, please join me in the on-line live meetings via Webex. The meeting is going to be held at the following address, with no password required: https://aoyamagakuin.webex.com/meet/t25244
3. SUBMIT A SHORT ESSAY: After the class, please submit a short passage no longer than a double-spaced one page (200 words approximately) on any issue that you care from the reading assignment or the contents of the class. I will not give you a “prompt” on what to write. It can be a question, an opinion or a comment on the readings. Please post it directly on the coursework website or upload an attached file as you wish. It will be considered as part of your grade on participation and attendance.
4. FINAL PAPER: Please write a 10-15 double-spaced pages (approximately 2000-3000 words in English) of final paper for this class. We will talk about how to do this in the final week of the instruction.
If you wish to talk to me in person or you have a question, please walk-in at my office (Building 11, room 1156) or join my office hour on the Cisco Webex on-line meeting system.
