講義概要/Course description
This course is designed to provide students with an understanding of Japanese culture and society from an interdisciplinary perspective including anthropological, historical, and sociological approaches. Throughout the course, we will explore the evolution of Japanese cultural and social history, from ancient times up to the present day. Our exploration will cover a range of topics, including the basics of anthropology, the history of Japan, family life, business and entrepreneurship, literature, art, fashion, and modern culture. By examining these topics, students will develop critical thinking skills and gain valuable insights into how Japanese society has changed over time. Furthermore, we will employ an anthropological approach to deepen our understanding of Japanese culture. By doing so, students will learn to challenge popular images and stereotypes, as well as broaden their perspective on culture and society. This course provides a foundation for future studies of Japan and aims to inspire students to continue learning about the country's rich cultural and historical heritage. Ultimately, the course hopes to be a catalyst for further studies on Japan and provide students with a lifelong appreciation for and interest in Japan.
This course is aimed at International Program for Japan Studies (IPJS) and functions also as an elective course for international exchange students, regular degree students from abroad and within Japan.
The lecture schedule may change during the semester based on our progress as a class. Students are required to use the online course system (CoursePower) for communication and assignments.
