Course Objectives
This course is a survey of post‒1945 Japanese literature. Our overall concern is with questions of how literature is an integral part of
society and culture. This concern includes, but expands beyond, consideration of aesthetics, narrative, and author. We read a range of
stories, poems, and novels to bring into focus questions of art, aesthetics, and how to read literature while also considering issues of
gender, identity, and the intersections of literature and social activism. Our course centers on close readings of selected texts.
到達目標 / Course Objectives
Students will learn how to read and critically discuss a wide range of literary texts. They will learn to appreciate and engage with
literature on a variety of levels.
