【Course Objectives】

This course takes up relevant examples to grant students the opportunity to inculcate an in-depth understanding of the interchange and clash of different cultures and to appreciate the phenomenon of cultural fusion. Additionally, students will learn the various conceptual aspects of cultural transformation and will be encouraged to formulate their own ideas on the subject.

【Course Contents】

Many writers, ancient and modern, have crossed different languages and cultures as migrants, refugees and travellers. The number of such writers will continue to grow. In this class, we will focus on the texts of writers primarily associated with the French-speaking world, examining their interactions with various cultures, their perspectives on themselves and others, and the works they created.
Claudel moved constantly around the world as a diplomat and was French ambassador to Japan in the 1920s; in the 1900s, Kafu Nagai stayed in Lyon as a banker. About 100 years ago, staying in a foreign country had a very different meaning than today. By reading and interpreting the writings of a Frenchman and a Japanese man who related what they saw and felt in the other's country at that time, we will look at the origins of intercultural exchange.
In class, we will read the texts carefully, integrating discussion as much as possible and sharing our knowledge of the social and historical context of the texts. No specific knowledge of French is required for this course.
