講義概要
／Course description |
This course focuses on Japanese literature and the art of fiction and poetry. We will introduce selected representative works of Japanese fiction and poetry, with an emphasis on the modern period (Meiji and after), though a few pre-modern works will be included to examine literary links in the Japanese tradition. While we enjoy a text for its content (i.e. the plot and its social and cultural context), we also want to study how the content is presented (i.e. the form). Thus one important emphasis of this course is how to read a literary text: we will learn about imagery, metaphors, narrative voice, characterization, allusions, narrative persona, etc. as we study Japanese literature. This course should enable you to acquire the rudimentary critical language to make evaluative judgment of a literary text as well as introductory knowledge of Japanese fiction and poetry. |
