Section Title:
War&Peace: JAPN Culture
Section Info:
Topic: War and Peace in Japanese Culture. Who were the samurai and what was warfare like in the 12th century? What were the values of the warrior class and how were they represented in Japanese writing? What was the world reaction to Japan?s defeat of Russia in 1905? Why does Japan have a peace constitution? How does Japan commemorate the World War 2 and how is it remembered in Japan today? This course will look at the changing ways the Japanese have imagined war and peace throughout their history. We will consider early images of samurai warriors in medieval narratives and Edo period theater as a way to understand Japanese values in the pre-modern period. The main focus of the class will be the World War 2, the most traumatic and transformative conflict in Japanese history. Topics to be covered include war propaganda and ideologies, war atrocities and their commemoration, the A bomb and Japanese literature, trauma and memory, revisionist views of war and peace movements today. To understand these topics, we will explore a wide variety of sources: novels, memoirs, essays, films, journalism, anime, manga, etc.
