Women, Gender and Sexuality
講義概要
/Course description
What is the nature of woman?  And by what conventions are women depicted in literature.  Viewed from the perspective of a society that values the idea of equality between men and women, these questions can be deceptively simple.  Whether venerated for their purity, parodied for their irrationality, or condemned for their sexuality, the diversity of qualities attributed to women is equaled only by the diversity of their roles in narrative.  

The literature of Japan is no exception.  In the poems and tales of the 10th century, women are bound to their homes, prisoners of gender roles and sexual politics.  In the Buddhist anecdotes of the 13th century, “woman” is a synonym for sexuality, which functions only to obstruct male (and female) enlightenment.  In the urban literature of the 17th century, women become commodities in a marketplace of desire.  And in the western-influenced genres of the modern era, women function as a source of obsession and obligation, both of which torment the innocence and idealism of men.  Surveying the classics of Japanese literature from the earliest times to the mid 20th century, the goal of this course is to examine the myriad representations of women in Japan and the cultures that gave rise to them.
