Japan in the American Imagination 青い目に映るニッポン
11002139

This course will examine representations of Japan in modern American media (journalism, film, television, comics, etc.), drawing connections between the various representations and the historical moment of their production, defined primarily in terms of the evolutionary stage in postwar Japan-U.S. relations. A second key component of the course will be the function of orientalism in shaping American images. There will also be some consideration of Japanese representations of America and the West. As much of the course deals with film, students will be expected to watch the films either privately or in class viewings scheduled outside of class time.      




  Students with questions or wishing to discuss the course with me are welcome to visit me in my KUIS office (1-327).
