Study of Japanese films as an expression of Japanese culture. Viewing of films outside of class required.

This course is primarily a course in contemporary Japanese culture, but serves as a third year language course. The "texts" will consist of contemporary written materials (books, magazines, newspapers) and visual materials (tv programs, movies) and will exercise the four skills (reading, writing, listening, speaking) studied in the first four semesters of the language.

This course, taught in English, is designed as a general introduction to the culture of pre-modern Japan (up to the Meiji Restoration of 1868). Topics include: Shinto, Buddhism, and Confucianism in ancient Japan; feminine sensibilities in ancient literature; canons of medieval art; the culture of military strife; Christianity in pre-modern Japan; and encounters with the West.
