JAPN Cult/Hist/Lit
Section Info:
Recycling the classics: A Multimedia History of Adaptation in Japanese Cultural History Adaptation is common in many cultures but in few other cases has the past been so consistently and compulsively re-used as in Japanese cultural history. This course explores how and why the classics have been adapted in writing, art, film, animation, and material practices from medieval times to the present day. We will look at a broad range of primary works in different media and learn to use concepts such as adaptation, parody, canonization, nation building, etc. in cultural analysis.
