Course Contents/Objectives/Teaching Method/Intended Learning Outcome
In this course, we will take a close look at the way Japan was, and continues to be, perceived in Europe and North America. Course members will analyze a series of historical documents from European and North American sources and investigate how the view of Japan has developed in these countries over time. At the center of this investigation are three questions:
- Which images and stereotypes about Japan can be found in these documents?
- How much did these images and stereotypes change with time?
- How much did they stay the same?
In addition, the course members will analyze and give group presentations about certain key periods in the history of Japan's encounter with Euroamerica.
