Section Info: Sushi, samurai, Sony, Shinto, kimono, kamikaze, katana, karaoke (pronounced kara-okay), geisha, anime, manga, rickshaw, tsunami (all these words come from Japanese, by the way), modesty, etiquette, technology, Nintendo, Toyota, cherry blossoms, Zen Buddhism, and Mt. Fuji. These are some of the words you may associate with Japan and Japanese culture. Your association of Japan with these terms, however, is not an accident; it is a product of that past that continues to shape the present. This course is an historical and topical introduction to Japanese Culture in its many manifestations, which begins by examining the sources of Japanese culture and identity in the past and tracing their development to the present day. Although it is common to regard "Japan" as a homogenous society and "Japanese culture" as a monolithic and unchanging whole, our approach will demonstrate the heterogeneous, dynamic and ever-changing complexity of Japanese culture and society, mindful of the varying ways both Japanese and others have defined and re-defined who "the Japanese" are and what their culture was and is.
