講義概要/Course description
|
This is a survey course of the history of Japanese literature, focusing mostly on Nara, Heian, and Medieval Periods. Students will be assigned to read chapters each week on a variety of topics from The Cambridge History of Japanese Literature. The chapters are written by multiple authors who are experts of each of the given periods. The one-year long class is designed to introduce the development of pre-modern Japanese literature and the historical context that nourished Japanese cultural traditions.
Class policies and requirements are as followed.
1. PLEASE FINISH YOUR READING ASSIGNMENT based on the syllabus before every class meeting. Please prepare a hard copy or an electronic version of the assigned textbook. Due to the copy right issues, unfortunately I am not allowed to upload the PDF files of the textbook.
2. ATTEND CLASS MEETINGS: except for THE FIRST CLASS Meeting that will be made in a pre-recorded on-demand video, all classes meetings will be held in a face-to-face manner.
3. SUBMIT A SHORT ESSAY: After the class, please submit a short passage no longer than a double-spaced one page (100-200 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 on the coursework website; The submissions will be considered as part of your grade on participation and attendance.

メッセージ/Message
|
|
The chapters help us to grasp a general idea of the history of Japanese history of literature. The genres may vary, and the historical context in behind the literary traditions keeps changing in different time periods. When people talk about tradition, what do they really mean by this concept? A flexible approach and an open-minded attitude from a variety of points of views are required for one who wishes to further fathom the depth of the literary works.
