【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】

Whether in marriage or as romantic partners, the concept of monogamy dictates that humans should be bound in one-on-one relationships. In contrast, the mode of building multiple intimate relationships simultaneously is referred to as polyamory, a concept rapidly gaining acceptance in contemporary America. This perspective holds particular significance for women who may feel constrained by marital institutions and heteronormative standards. In American literature, many female writers have (at least implicitly) explored this theme over the years. To gain insight into this undercurrent, we will examine a selection of short stories written by feminist author Kate Chopin, renowned for The Awakening, and venture into the 1950s with Anais Nin's A Spy in the House of Love.

Every other week, assigned teams will prepare a couple of questions about interpretive possibilities of the assigned text 4 days prior to the class meeting, and class participants will answer one of the questions in written form on Canvas LMS by the day before the class meeting. During class hours, assigned teams will distribute handouts for the class containing a summary and detailed linguistic explications of the assigned text. Then, students will participate in a group discussion about one of the two questions, followed by a class debate about each question. Written answers to the questions will be returned to each student the following week with the instructor's comments.
