【Course Objectives】

"Dark Tourism" is tourism associated with travel to sites of genocide,conflicts, large-scale human rights abuses,struggle and sadness in disaster-hit regions. We will position these phenomena in a wide range of contexts such as history, politics, society, ethics, and culture, deepen students' understanding of internal and external events, and contribute to the prevention.

【Course Contents】

The travel to sites associated with death, violence and misery, both in Japan and overseas, is not new. However, these phenomena were given the name "dark tourism" and have been the subject of academic research since the 1990s.
In this course, the concept of "dark tourism" is comprehensively studied, and we will ask who save (or destroy) the site as a tourist resource and for what purpose we should do so. What does it mean to consume and commercialize tragic death? We will try to understand these questions in social, ethical, cultural, historical, and political contexts. Then, each student will choose a "dark tourism site" and present it as a case study.
