  • JAPN 248 Literature and Beauty in Modern Japan 6 credits

    This course introduces modern Japanese literature from the late 19th century to the 1960s, examining its evolution through the lens of “Beauty” as both an aesthetic and cultural concept. We will explore how literature emerged as a fine art, engaging with modern Western aesthetic theories to interrogate notions of “modernness” and its intersection with ethical concerns. In addition to studying major writers and works, we will analyze literature’s response to historical contexts, addressing themes such as class division, alienation, scientific progress, colonialism, urbanization, and war.

    In Translation. No prior knowledge of Japanese language or culture is required.

  • MUSC 213 J-Pop: Listening to Music in Modern Japan 6 credits

    Japanese popular music encompasses a wide variety of genres, from World War II propaganda tunes to anime soundtracks. But how does this music relate to the history of modern Japan? What is “modern” (or post-modern) about this specific music? This class will examine the creation and consumption of Japanese popular music from around 1945 to present, focusing on how popular music worked in the cultural and political milieu. Through the study of Japanese folk, jazz, rock, hip-hop, bubble gum pop, and film music, students will engage with broader historical trajectories in society. We will discuss music as it relates to issues of race, gender, and pop culture in Japan and around the world.
