【Course Contents】

This course explores the transcultural and transnational elements of Japan from a cross-border social sciences perspective. By looking at diverse images and experiences of Japan within and beyond the geographical boundaries of the nation, we will historize and deconstruct the myth of Japan as a homogenous and monocultural society. Some of the issues we will explore include: the processes of making and imagining the modern nation, the global diffusion of Japanese culture, migration, mobility, and identity.

Taught in English, the course is designed to help students develop critical thinking, reading, discussion, and research skills. Each class will focus on a topic, exposing students to a range of sociological themes and concepts and their applications in the study of Japan. Students will take part in a cross-cultural exploration of ideas and works by Japanese and non-Japanese scholars through in-class lectures, group discussions, homework readings, and other activities.
