Section Title:
Itineraries in Waka Culture
Section Info:
Itineraries in waka culture: genre・texts・ritual・performance・art The course explores the incredibly rich and varied range of practices associated with waka (classical Japanese poetry). We will start by reviewing the canons of the genre at one of its times of maximum thriving (ca. 800-1200 C.E.), and then move on to consider ways of recording, disseminating, and displaying poems through letters, poetry collections, paintings, etc. We will explore waka’s deep connections with visual culture (calligraphy, screens, poet portraiture, illustrated books) and trace the emergence of poetic criticism through poetry contests (uta-awase) and poetic treatises (karon). We will also consider cases of cross-genre contamination, specifically with poetry in Chinese and Buddhist discourse. Throughout the course we will devote equal attention to the texts of the tradition and to its material aspects (vocalization, script, book formats, paintings). The course will be of interest to students of literature, art history, and religion. No knowledge of Japanese is required. This class meets with EALC 550 GPP.
