Section Info:
This course will focus on the themes of love, sex and death in modern Japanese literature as well as the relationship between these themes and general concepts of “culture,” “history” and “modernity.” Is love a universal, immutable human emotion or one that varies with cultural tradition and historical period? How did earlier Japanese conceptions of sex and sexuality change with Westernization or with modernization in the 20th century? What role have death and suicide played in the romantic stories of love? The course offers students a survey of major Japanese literary works and a theoretical introduction to the field of cultural studies.
