【Course Objectives】

This course aims to comprehensively examine the changes in post-war Japanese society, primarily from the 1960s to the 1990s, through various phenomena, including subcultures. By doing so, students will develop the ability to: (1) formulate hypotheses about the nature and characteristics of Japanese society; (2) cultivate an analytical perspective on the causal relationships within history; and (3) acquire alternative viewpoints and ways of interpreting events.

【Course Contents】

"What kind of society do we live in today? In the complex modern society and global circumstances, Japan is sometimes referred to as "Galapagos," suggesting a unique atmosphere that differs from other countries in various ways. Are there distinctive thought patterns underlying Japanese society?
To unravel this, why not shift our awareness to the past and attempt a dialogue with the present? We will contemplate the transformations in post-war Japanese society, with a particular focus on the changes from the 1960s to the 1990s. This endeavor involves experiencing various cultural elements, including subcultures, through remaining images and words, attempting to decode the "atmosphere" of the times.
Let's embark on a journey of thought to decipher the "self-image" and "unconscious" of post-war Japanese people, grasping clues to contemplate the society that lies ahead. I hope that together, we can derive new meanings from seemingly ordinary scenes and share experiences that may alter our perspective on history and society, even if only slightly."
