【Course Objectives】

"When I enter university, I want to spend a lot of time studying what I like!” The objectives of this seminar are to have students who carried such an intention remember their original purpose and make friends through training camps and other seminar activities to lead a fulfilling university life where they can say that they, "really studied." Through political science and historical approaches, students will understand the discourse about "the war" and "the post war" in contemporary Japan, acquire relativistic points of view, and learn to form their own opinions through discussion. Moreover, students will learn techniques such as reporting and presenting based on a careful review of the textbook, writing reports after conducting interviews/research on their own ideas and initiative, and engaging in discussion.

【Course Contents】

This academic year, participants will be reading in turns over the course of a year the instructor's recently published book, "Sengo Nihon to wa Nan Datta no ka (What Was 'Postwar Japan'?)" edited by Masataka Matsuura. This seminar aims to have participants understand important issues for contemporary Japan surrounding "war" and "postwar" from multiple perspectives, including political science, economics, constitutional law, and history. To relativize the present day from a historical and comparative perspective, students will take turns reading and reporting on this book and other important texts and discuss by sharing their awareness of the issues and analytical framework. In addition to classroom lectures, the seminar will feature on-site training (camps and excursions) and study groups inviting journalists, diplomats, and authors of texts.
The main event of this seminar for this academic year, the camp, will be a visit to Hiroshima to reflect on "war" and "postwar". In preparation, students will watch Kono Sekai no Katasumi ni (In this Corner of the World) and Drive My Car, two highly acclaimed and topical films in Japan and abroad released in recent years. They will learn about their backgrounds and the significance of regeneration from "war (ruins)," and visit their "sacred sites" to deepen their study during the camp. Collaboration with local universities and others is also planned.
The camp promises not only be enjoyable, but also an unforgettable memory of your student days while also an opportunity to grow significantly through its preparation and implementation. The process of research, planning, arranging, coordinating, negotiating, and discussing is a mission for all participants. As such, preparation and active participation outside of the class schedule is compulsory. In the fall semester, after the camp is over, the students will study in depth the issues that they have grasped at the camp and elsewhere.
Participants are encouraged to propose plans and texts in addition to this. After all, the seminar is what the students make it.
