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.
