| JAPA 194-01 Love and Death in 18th-20th Century Japanese Literature | |||
| TR | 09:40 am-11:10 am | HUM 110 | Sachiko Dorsey |
| *Cross-listed with ASIA 194-01* In late 17th to early 18th century Japan, a series of plays featuring lovers committing double suicides became very popular. So popular was this trend that people started to emulate this act, which led the government to issue a ban on performing such plays. This was a particular moment in Japanese history, in which the mercantile economy gave tremendous power to merchants, who were ranked at the very bottom of the social hierarchical order. It also was a time when popular culture of everyday people took center stage. Starting at this point in history, we will see how the rise in the popularity of such narratives reflected social changes that were taking place, and examine these texts closely to understand what happened when gender, class and family collided. We will then study similar narratives in subsequent periods, and see how the waves of sudden westernization challenged or shaped preexisting beliefs. Another important topic we will investigate is the question of "modernity" in Japan. We will revisit the once-dominant claim that there was no concept of “love” in “premodern” Japan, as such notion was introduced by Western cultures after the Meiji Restoration. We will then see if the “seeds” of modernity can be found in the narratives of love and death prior to it, and how these "seeds" impacted individual experiences as the Western influences came to take roots in Japanese society. |

| JAPA 294-01 Bad Women:Portrayal of Female Villains in Japanese Literature and Culture | |||
| TR | 01:20 pm-02:50 pm | HUM 110 | Sachiko Dorsey |
| *Cross-listed with ASIA 294-01* In this course, we will start with folklores, where women are, or become transformed into, fearsome creatures. We will then move on to different kinds of narratives ranging from popular culture, literature and films to recent media coverage. As part of all this, we will investigate how these characters are portrayed, and what it reveals about social anxiety over women who transgress boundaries (and what these boundaries are). We will also examine the process, in which these women are marginalized and demonized, and how it may relate to the changes and unrest Japanese society was or is undergoing. No Japanese background is needed. |
