Notes

【Course Objectives】

Through the intensive reading of literary texts, students will cultivate a personally/socially imaginative understanding of those who have different values and backgrounds from their own. In doing so, they will enhance self-expression skills in both Japanese and English.

【Course Contents】

This is a single-semester course offered in conjunction with Seminar B13 (two 100-minute sessions per week, 4 credits). Please note that it is not possible to register for only 2 credits.
Over the past few decades, Edith Wharton's body of work has undergone a significant re-evaluation through the lens of feminist criticism, being recognized as texts that challenge the norms of gender and sexuality. This seminar focuses on works in which Wharton’s resistance to the institution of marriage and heteronormativity aligns with her Gothic imagination. Specifically, we will engage in close readings of the novella Ethan Frome (1911), where a dark shadow of death looms over a deviating marital relationship, along with several ghost stories that Wharton continued to write intermittently throughout her career.
In each weekly session, a pre-assigned presentation team (typically two students) provides an overview of the assigned text based on their prepared handout. First, the entire class clarifies any linguistic or grammatical questions. Following this, all students are asked to write an on-the-spot response to a specific question (related to the interpretation of the text) that the presenters have prepared in consultation with the instructor. Group discussions are then held based on these written responses. The questions, written responses, and group discussions alternate between English and Japanese every other week. Furthermore, based on these discussions, a whole-class debate is conducted in Japanese. The weekly written responses will be returned to each student with the instructor's comments by the following week's class.
