Course Contents/Objectives/Teaching Method/Intended Learning Outcome
The aim of this course is to examine Japanese short fiction in the modern period by focussing on those texts containing encounters between representatives of Japan and what lies beyond its shores. These encounters are not confined to meetings between individuals but also include a “meeting of minds” when the protagonist or the text itself can be seen to have engaged with ideas or texts from beyond Japan.
All texts will be discussed on the basis of their English translations, and the language of discussion will be English. However, the original Japanese texts will also be made available for those able to make use of both. Native speakers of Japanese are particularly encouraged to use their knowledge of the original language to add to the discussion. In any case, it is imperative to the functioning of the class that all participants make time to read the stories beforehand and be prepared to talk about them in detail. Only those who have made this effort will be able to participate usefully in the discussion.
