The Politics of Memory in Modern Japan | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 講義概要 /Course description |
This course will explore issues of memory-making and memory-shaping in modern Japan. After a survey of theories of historical and social memory, we will analyze the main institutions of memory and commemoration in modern Japan, their functions and historical development, as well as important Japanese “realms of memory”, their representation in Japanese culture and controversies surrounding memorialization projects in Japanese society and politics. Apart from examining case studies of Japanese memory institutions, we will also take a comparative look at controversies about historical memory in other countries, above all, in Germany, South Korea, Spain, France and Italy. The course shall raise the students’ awareness of the importance of issues of historical memory in recent decades and problems emerging from “memory wars” in modern societies. It will also explore the background of the use and abuse of history and its implications for political developments in Japan as well as in international relations. What are the political, ideological and aesthetic presuppositions of memory-making and of representations of history? Who are the major actors in memory-making in modern Japan? What can we say about the relation of the individual and the state through the analysis of the politics of memory? Excursions to memorial institutions near the university form an integral part of the course. In addition, individual fieldwork on other memorials or museums is strongly encouraged. |
