JPN 405: SEMINAR IN ASIAN STUDIES: TOKYO, SHANGHAI, PARIS
001 TTh 4:00 - 5:15 Instructor: Slaymaker
This course will examine three of the world’s greatest cities. These cities share a rich history of mutual influence and imagination, with artists from each area creating work that represents the other. We will examine how city life has been theorized, and then how it has been imagined, in the Japanese, Chinese, and French traditions. We will also explore the experience of the city-space in three different cultural contexts and across three different historical moments (1920s and 1930s, 1950s and 1960s, 1980s-present). This will allow us to think of the particularities of each city while also providing a context to draw linkages provided in cross-cultural flows. Much of this exploration will rely on print (i.e. fiction) but we also rely heavily on visual representations (i.e. art and film).
