DEVELOPMENT OF THE JAPANESE LANGUAGE 2credits

（Spring）

日本語の発展 2 単位（春学期）Development of the Japanese Language　

Professor,Faculty of Economics SUZUKI, RYOKO経済学部教授鈴木亮子

Course Description：

Students in this course focus on a specific aspect of Japanese language in each session. We view language as an emergent, ever-changing entity with some degree of fixedness. After understanding the status quo of each aspect of the language, including the sound system, writing system, vocabulary, clause structure, and so on, we trace how the language has become the way it is. Through the reading of the assigned materials, we will familiarize ourselves with the historical, socio-cognitive, structural, and functional development of the Japanese language. We will also discuss how language develops in the minds of individual speakers.Textbooks：

There is no textbook for the class. In each session, the instructor will assign the reading(s) for the following week. Reference Books：

Assistant Professor,Center for Japanese Studies

KIM, ANGELA A.日本語・日本文化教育センター専任講師キム，アンジェラ


　Mastering the grammar of a particular language does not guarantee successful communication with a native speaker of that language. This is because language does not only function as a conveyance of information, but also has other functions such as expressing the language user’s attitude/emotions. The objective of this course is to encourage a more profound understanding of the functions of language that exist beyond referential meaning, with particular attention given to markers and their uses in conversations. An understanding of this aspect of language, and the function of particular markers, will lead to a deeper understanding of communication in general. 　This course comprises three main parts: (i) a general introduction to the non-referential function of language; (ii) the case of English briefly reviewing markers such as you know & I mean, like, and just; and (iii) the case of Japanese including an overview of sentence-final particles, and markers such as ne, yo, janai, kedo, datte, maa, yappari etc. Textbooks：

ENGLISH AND ENGLISH EDUCATION IN JAPAN IN THE AGE

OF GLOBALIZATION 2credits（Spring）

グローバル化時代の日本の英語と英語教育 2 単位

（春学期）The role played by the English language in contemporary Japan

Professor,Faculty of Letters NAKAMURA, YUJI文学部教授中村優治


This course examines the role played by the English language in contemporary Japan. Each class will examine this role from various perspectives and in various domains, and, taken together, they represent a wide-range survey of the linguistic, social and cultural issues that arise from the use of English in Japan. A major focus for many of the classes is the educational system, wherein the teaching and learning of English, as well as policies and planning regarding English, operate as a primary means of mediation between the language and society. The course has two main sections consisting of sub-classes. The first main section, which focuses on the relationship between the English language and educational policy and practice, is categorized as English in the Educational System. Sub-classes will look at the positioning of English within the curriculum, as well as debates over language pedagogy and different educational strategies. Also covered in this sub-class are the attitudes and expectations of students and educational professionals who have an investment in the language. The second main section investigates English in Society and Culture. This section primarily examines the uses and meanings English has in popular culture and the public sphere (the linguistic landscape). The way culture constructs particular concepts of English and draws

associations between the language and other cultural factors, and the relationship the language has to cultural and ethnic identity will be examined.Textbooks：

ENGLISH AND ENGLISH LANGUAGE EDUCATION IN EAST

ASIA 2credits（Fall）

東アジア地域の英語と英語教育 2 単位（秋学期）English and ELT in East Asia

Professor,Faculty of Letters NAKAMURA, YUJI文学部教授中村優治


East Asia consists of a vast array of societies which are each at different historical and economic conjunctures in their developmental trajectories. However, in all their encounters with the West, English has become an indispensable resource which they seek for themselves and their younger generations; often infused with a desire for development, modernity, and human resource capital for successful participation in the global economy. The teaching of the English Language in schools and universities in East Asia today adds value to the education of students. While some languages may atrophy, others grow and dominate. With the advent of the Internet, English has enjoyed unprecedented growth. As East Asia as a region, develops closer political and business relationships, there is a need for a better command of a language of wider communication, which is undoubtedly English. At the school level, the bilingual education policy in the Philippines is one model of bi-literacy. In Japan, a modified model of ELT is emerging in its school system with young primary school children being exposed to English under the rubric of “international understanding.” This course aims to show the many facets of the English Language Teaching (ELT) phenomenon in East Asia and to highlight current trends and developments in ELT. Much has already said about the impact of globalization on the spread of English worldwide and there are very interesting educational initiatives being implemented within each country and in the region. The tension arising from the conflict between traditional values and new knowledge is one example.

目覚め 2 単位（春学期）Modern Japanese Literature

Professor,Faculty of Letters ARMOUR, ANDREW J.文学部教授アーマー，アンドルーＪ.


　Japanese prose literature of the modern period will be discussed in this lecture course. In “Journey Through the Floating World” last summer, we covered the pre-modern literature of the Tokugawa period, an era that came to an abrupt end with the Meiji Restoration of 1868. The resulting political and social upheaval had a traumatic effect on many aspects of Japanese life, and literature was no exception. Some savored the sharp break with the past, while others looked back on their own cultural heritage for inspiration and continuity. We will focus on the development of the modern novel though the works of such writers as Mori Ôgai, Natsume Sôseki, Akutagawa Ryûnosuke, Kawabata Yasunari, Tanizaki Jun'ichirô and Mishima Yukio. Modern film adaptations will also be introduced.Textbooks：

INTRODUCTION TO JAPANESE CINEMA 1 2credits

（Spring）

日本映画入門１ 2 単位（春学期）Introduction to Japanese Cinema I: Until the 1960s

Professor,Faculty of Economics AINGE, MICHAEL W.経済学部教授エインジ，マイケルＷ.


　This course will examine Japanese cinema from the 1930s until the 1960s, from the perspectives of cultural history, authorship, and film art. Though by no means comprehensive due to time restrictions, this course will provide students with an overview of the first three decades of Japanese talkies, including exposure to the major directors and film genres of the period. Additionally, students will learn the basic critical and technical concepts necessary to discuss film intelligently. They will learn to progress beyond declarations of personal taste (“I liked/hated this film,” or“It was boring.”), and form critical evaluations based on description, interpretation and careful analysis. Needless to say, issues related to Japanese culture and history will inform our study: as themes relating to the modernity vs. tradition--especially the challenge to traditional ideals of femininity, the family, and individualism--are treated in the films, these will no doubt constitute an important part of class discussions.Textbooks：

日本映画入門２ 2 単位（秋学期）Introduction to Japanese Cinema II: since the 1960s

Professor,Faculty of Economics AINGE, MICHAEL W.経済学部教授エインジ，マイケルＷ.


　This course will examine Japanese cinema from the 1960s to the present. Though by no means comprehensive due to time restrictions, this

course will provide students with an overview of the last half-century of Japanese film, including the major directors and film genres of those decades. Additionally, students will learn the basic critical and technical concepts necessary to discuss film intelligently. They will learn to progress beyond declarations of personal taste (“I liked/hated this film,” “It was boring.”) and perform critical evaluations based on description, interpretation and analyses. Japanese cinema has been a forum for presenting and representing social problems such as the relation of the individual to society, the changing meaning of ‘Japanese identity’, and the relation of tradition and the past to the present, and globalization. How have Japanese film artists perceived and expressed the problems of identity, and how can these be interpreted?

SYSTEMATICS THROUGH MUSIC AND POETRY OF JAPAN

AND INDIA 2credits（Spring）

音楽と詩における体系性：日印比較 2 単位（春学期）Applied studies in creative thinking, expression and problem solving

Lecturer HOFFMAN, T.M.講師ホッフマン，ティ　エム


Expressive ideas in music are given form through organizational principles resembling phonetics, grammar and syntax in language. Western musicians use a shared written notation to perform together, Japanese use various unique notations designed for the respective instruments, and Indians improvise based on methodology of melody and rhythm. These distinctions illustrate varying degrees of dependence on visual vs. aural, and specific vs. universal. Research proves that skill in language (spoken & written) and overall creative problem solving can be enhanced through experiencing the creative process in music. We will examine structural features of Japanese and Indian language and music and apply them in the process of improvisation and composition in prose, poetry, music and in other contexts. Exercises in rhythm and melody will illustrate sophisticated concepts of time and space, and participants will be assisted in composing and improvising upon their own creations in music+poetry. We will also apply our systematics to examine contemporary issues in society and sciences covered in contemporary media, using interdisciplinary techniques such as PMA (picture map analysis) and our evolving theories and techniques. No prior training in music or linguistics required. Textbooks：

JAPANESE SOUND CULTURE IN THE GLOBAL CONTEXT

2credits（Fall）

日本と世界の音文化 2 単位（秋学期）Music and language in Japan and other cultures

Lecturer HOFFMAN, T.M.講師ホッフマン，ティ　エム


We will become familiar with the aural worlds of Japan and other cultures, comparing various natural environments, language and music with a view to discovering both distinctions and universalities that help us understand other disciplines and regions. We will identify influences from classical China, India and Greece, and trace their evolution into realms of health, religion, society, politics, and material worlds of traditional and contemporary culture. Examining principles and examples of instruments, rhythm, melody, improvisation and composition, we will approach music and language as both art and science, and discuss interface with mathematics, economics and social sciences. We will try to be aware of cultural and economic development, regional identity and globalization, and gender and other factors facing the makers and consumers of sound culture in Japan and abroad, and examine the role of sound culture in intercultural communication and international relations.　Our adventure begins with a survey of the nature of sound and its use as a means of communication and expression, then we travel through the sound cultures of Asia and beyond with the aid of audio-visual materials, live music demonstrations, and whatever other resources are available. Students will be encouraged to actively participate and to share their perceptions and experiences. Every week we will see/hear/enjoy lots of special music!Textbooks：

JAPANESE PSYCHOLOGY IN CONTEMPORARY JAPAN

2credits（Spring）

日本人の心理学 2 単位（春学期）How Japanese people deal with anger: from cross cultural psychology perspectives

Lecturer TEZUKA, CHIZUKO講師手塚千鶴子


This course is designed to explore how Japanese manage interpersonal conflict both among themselves and in interaction with foreigners, and its implications for Japanese society which is becoming more multicultural in this accelerated globalization age. Though a Western notion of conflict claims that conflict is inevitable yet not necessarily bad, the Japanese society has been described to believe in its self-image as a conflict-free society and to abhor and avoid interpersonal conflicts at any cost. With this apparent contrast in mind, students will learn characteristics of Japanese conflict management strategies, how they deal with anger, and reasons for them from cross cultural and social psychological perspectives. Students are also encouraged to reexamine their own beliefs/attitudes towards anger/conflict by engaging in lots of discussion/argument and getting challenged by different viewpoints and thinking within a hopefully culturally diverse class environment. This diversity also brings challenges for both Japanese and international students in trying to creatively deal with intercultural conflicts in their own life, which can lead to personal growth if tackled properly. In this course, students will be asked to participate in various learning activities including psychological tests, drawing/collage, and possibly role play besides discussion and reflection papers.Textbooks：

JAPANESE PERCEPTION OF THE ATOMIC BOMBING


日本人は原爆をどううけとめてきたか 2 単位（春学期）in pursuit of a constructive dialogue



This course has two objectives. The first one is to give students an overview of the distinctive features of Japanese perception/memories of the atomic bombing embedded within a larger context of Japanese memories of the World War II through such diverse resources as hibakusha cinemas, the atomic bombing literature, testimonies of ordinary hibakusha and the debate over the central cenotaph of Peace Memorial Park. The American counterpart will be presented to highlight the starkly different perception of U.S.A. on the atomic bombing. The second objective is to encourage students to explore ways to develop a constructive dialogue among Japan, U.S.A. and Asian countries on one of the intellectually stimulating but emotionally heavy topics in this nuclear age by providing extensive reading and case studies of the unique efforts made by the concerned Japanese and American citizens around the time of the Enola Gay controversy to engage more people across national borders in active discussion of this topic. Hopefully the students will expand and deepen their understanding of this important topic by learning about multiple perspectives in an integrating way at the end of this course.Textbooks：

JAPANESE PSYCHOTHERAPIES IN THE GLOBALIZING

WORLD 2credits（Fall）

グローバル社会における日本の心理療法 2 単位（秋学期）from transcultural psychology perspectives



This course has three interrelated purposes. The first purpose is to assist students to learn about fundamental features of indigenous Japanese psychotherapies/counseling, and the Japanese versions of expressive art therapies which has become all the more popular in the contemporary Japan not only in clinical but also in education fields as an important way to explore how Japanese culture and psychology is reflected in them. The second purpose is to give students opportunity to experience a few of them briefly in class both as an experiential learning and as a meaningful tool for self-reflection to assist them to deepen their self-understanding and to thrive in campus life here at Keio. The third purpose is for students to explore intellectually the transcultural issues and challenges facing indigenous Japanese psychotherapies/counseling like Naikan and Morita as they have increasingly but yet on a small scale getting exported to other countries in the globalizing world. What kind of changes need to be made to make it more acceptable and effective for people from other cultures? What are universal elements which make it effective across cultural borders? Those are important questions to be discussed. Textbooks：

No designated textbook and handouts will be distributed, taken from books, academic journals, conference papers and essays of those who experienced Japanese psychotherapies.Reference Books：

CROSSING BORDERS:ADAPTING TO JAPAN AND

ADAPTING TO THE WORLD 2credits（Spring）

日本文化への適応、世界への適応 2 単位（春学期）Learning from Life Abroad: Adapting to Japan and Adapting to the World

Lecturer SHAULES, JOSEPH講師ショールズ，ジョセフ


This class is designed for anyone who is interested in living abroad. It focuses on the process of adapting to life in another country. We learn about the experiences of foreigners getting used to life in Japan and of Japanese adapting to life in other countries. We will learn that there are stages of cultural adaptation: resistance, acceptance and adaptation. We will see that experiences abroad can be either deep or shallow. We will learn about the impact of living abroad on our values and identity. We will see that simply living abroad does not guarantee a positive experience. The ultimate goal of this course is for students to better understand their own cultural learning process, so that they can get the most out of their experiences in Japan or any other country. Class will be discussion-based and students will compare their experiences to those of other students.Textbooks：

DEEP CULTURE DIFFERENCE : UNDERSTANDING JAPAN

THROUGH CROSS-CULTURAL COMPARISON 2credits

（Fall）

異文化比較を通じての日本理解 2 単位（秋学期）Understanding Japan through Cross-Cultural Comparison

Lecturer SHAULES, JOSEPH講師ショールズ，ジョセフ


Culture has a visible side – food, clothing, architecture – and a hidden side of unconscious beliefs, values and assumptions. In this class we will explore this "cognitive programming" by comparing deep culture patterns in Japan with those of other places. We will focus on how intercultural experiences affect us at the level of the "cognitive unconscious", and do cultural comparison in key areas of deep culture. The ultimate goals of this course are for students to 1) learn about deep culture patterns in Japan and other countries, 2) gain a deeper understanding of culture’s unconscious influence over us, 3) learn how get more out of our intercultural experiences, and 4) reflect on our own cultural values and assumptions. The focus is on how cultural difference is experienced, not simply how to describe it from a historical or social perspective.

The first session will introduce students to the study of family and relationships. This will include the introduction of key theoretical concepts used across the course

2 Concepts and IdeasThis session will continue introducing key ideas and concepts.

3 Young people and the familyThis session will examine teenagers and young people and the issuesthat arise for them in their families. It will also consider what happens as they move out of home.

4 Romance and MarriageThis session considers some of the central issues in contemporaryAustralia and Japan around the production of new families. It willconsider falling in love, gay and straight marriage. It will consider therole of the state in controlling 'love'.

5 Children and their careThis session examines young children in families. It will exploreissues such as divorce and children. Following a theme of the courseit will ask questions about the role of the government in organisingchildren's upbringing.

6 Declining fertility ratesBoth Australia and Japan are experiencing declines in women's fertility rates. This session will examine what this means for individual women but also for ideas about the ideal family and couples without children

APPROACHES TOWARDS ANIMALS IN EAST ASIA - A

CULTURAL AND HISTORICAL COMPARISON WITH THE

WEST 2credits（Spring）

東アジアにおける動物との接し方―西洋との歴史的、文化的

比較を通して 2 単位（春学期）

Assistant Professor,Faculty of Economics

MITSUDA, TATSUYA経済学部専任講師光田達矢


Compassion towards animals, or the lack of it, is a hotly-emotive issue of international scope, especially between Western and East Asian countries. Recent spats over Japanese whaling, Korean dog-eating or Chinese disregard for animal welfare in food production have all focused minds on the need to understand why views of animals seemingly differ in East and West.

To do so, this course takes a cultural, historical, and comparative approach in finding out how our relationship with the non-human other has evolved over the past. Factors such as industrialization, urbanization, modernization and secularization will be covered, as well as themes such as pet-keeping, food customs, hunting, animal rituals, and protection movements. To keep things manageable, the course will concentrate mainly on comparing and contrasting Japanese and European experiences with animals.

Please note that the course will be taught not as a series of lectures but in seminar-type format in which the students will actively engage in collaborative reading, presentation, fieldwork, and discussion.Textbooks：

RELIGIONS IN JAPAN 2credits（Spring）

日本における宗教 2 単位（春学期）

Professor,Faculty of Letters NAKORCHEVSKI, ANDRIY文学部教授ナコルチェフスキー，アンドリイ


This course is designed to introduce students to the history, teachings and practice of Japanese religions, mainly Shinto, Buddhism in its various forms and so called folk believes. First we will try to get a better understanding of religion as a universal phenomenon and then examine its local representations in Japan in historical perspective through discussing their basic theoretical and practical aspects. We will also examine representative samples of primary texts in translation, watch documentaries and do some field research by visiting shrines and temples in central Tokyo.Students will be required to make a short presentation on an assigned topic at least once during the semester and submit a final paper.Textbooks：

We will use the book of Ellwood, Robert. Introducing Japanese Religion. Routledge. 2007 (can be downloaded for a fee here http://www.jbeonlinebooks.org/eBooks/japanese/) as a basic textbook and some additional reading will be assigned for each week and tested in the class.Reference Books：

JAPANESE BUDDHISM AND SOCIAL SUFFERING 2credits

（Spring）

日本仏教と現代社会 2 単位（春学期）Priests and Temples Reviving Human Relationship and Civil Society

Lecturer WATTS, JONATHAN S.講師ワッツ，ジョナサンＳ.


This course will look at Buddhism in Japan in a very different way – through the actions of Buddhist priests and followers to confront the real life problems and suffering of people in Japan today. We will look at such issues as: 1) human relationships in terms of: a) dying and grieving, and b) alienation and suicide; 2) economic development in terms of: a) social and economic gaps, aging society, community breakdown and depopulation of the countryside, b) alternatives to globalization and Buddhist economics, and c) alternative energy and the environment; 3) politics in terms of: a) nuclear power and peace, and b) Buddhist complicity with war and work for peace. The creative solutions some individual Buddhists are developing in response to these problems mark an attempt to revive Japanese Buddhism, which has been primarily associated with funerals and tourism. These efforts are trying to remake the temple as a center of community in an increasingly alienated society.

There will be a variety of teaching methods from homework, readings, group processes, in-class videos, guest speakers, and field trips. This course will attempt to be as interactive as possible, so students should be ready to reflect on the issues personally as they experience them as residents of Japan, and to express these reflections not only intellectually but emotionally as well.Textbooks：

Assistant Professor,Faculty of Business and Commerce

KURASHIGE, JEFFREY Y.商学部専任講師クラシゲ，ジェフリー


This course will examine the “pre-modern period” of Japan from its origins in the Jomon Period through to the end of the 16th century by focusing upon the emergence of the imperial state, court rulership, and the rise of the warrior class. Though dominated by the rulership, religions, and lifestyles of courtiers and warriors, the course also explores the cultural context within which elites, commoners, and those in between lived and prospered. The approach is thus primarily socio-cultural, aiming to enhance the student’ understanding not only of the Japan of the past, but also of the present. By the end of the course, students will be familiar with the most important aspects of the classical Heian age, the dual (or tripartite) polity of Kamakura, the warrior rule of the Muromachi era, and the subsequent era of civil warfare.Textbooks：

Note: Class size will be limited to 25 students PER SEMESTER. The class will be “built” around discussion of the required readings, so a limited class size will enable all students to participate. In order that all interested students will be able to take the course, this class will be repeated in the same form during the Fall semester for those students who are unable to enroll during the Spring.

General Expectations: This course is very demanding, but I believe that it will help push each of the participants to grow both as scholars and as citizens of the international community. Students are expected to be attentive and contribute to in-class discussions, and express their ideas and opinions in a respectful manner. Classroom discussion of the provided reading materials is a central part of the class. Thus, students must be ready to read, write, and express their opinions each week.

GENDER, CULTURE AND MODERNITY IN INTERWAR JAPAN


大正文化と日本の近代 2 単位（春学期）Gender, Culture and Modernity in Interwar Japan

Professor,Faculty of Economics NOTTER, DAVID M.経済学部教授ノッター，デビッドＭ.


Much of Japanese 'modern life' as we know it -- including the 'salaryman', the housewife, the middle-class family and its home in the suburbs, not to mention department stores and the nature of modern-day consumerism -- took shape in the prewar period within a span of time that stretches from the early years of the Taisho era to the beginning of the Showa era, an age known as the 'interwar period'. In this class we will examine the new 'modern' forms of social life that define this period; we will focus especially on the new ideals of family, gender roles and culture that emerged among the new middle class in urban areas.

A SOCIAL HISTORY OF POST-WAR JAPAN 2credits（Fall）

戦後日本の社会史 2 単位（秋学期）

Lecturer KINMONTH, EARL H.講師キンモンス，アールＨ.


　More than a half-century has elapsed since the end of the Pacific War. For most university students, this war is part of a distant past and references to prewar and postwar carry no special significance. In contrast, for those old enough to have experienced the Pacific War or its immediate aftermath, the terms prewar and postwar are very evocative and are part of the historical consciousness of many Japanese. This course attempts to answer three basic questions: 1) why is a distinction made between prewar and postwar Japan; 2) how was Japan changed by the Pacific War; 3) what has changed in the fifty-plus years the end of the war.　The course also deals with the issue of inaccurate, distorted, and sometimes completely unfounded reporting on social issues and patterns in both foreign and domestic news media.Textbooks：

Lecturer HOLLEY, DAVID R.講師ホーリー，デイヴィッドＲ.


　This course will examine the foundations of today’s Japan that were established during the U.S. occupation, with its early left-leaning idealism and subsequent shift to conservatism. The class will examine what life was like for Japanese in the early post-war years, the nature of the U.S. occupation, the relationship between Gen. Douglas MacArthur and Emperor Hirohito, the creation of Japan’s constitution and other issues that still affect Japan today.

CHRISTIANITY IN JAPANESE HISTORY 2credits（Fall）

日本キリスト教史 2 単位（秋学期）A case study of cross-cultural contactProfessor,Faculty of Economics BALLHATCHET, HELEN J.

経済学部教授ボールハチェット，ヘレンＪ.


　Christianity in Japan presents us with a number of paradoxes. For example, although the majority of Japanese today choose Christian-style weddings, the actual number of Christians amounts to less than one or two per cent of the total population (as opposed to 25 per cent in its close cultural neighbour, South Korea). This ‘failure’ contrasts with the relatively greater growth of Christianity in the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries, even though the total number of missionaries was much smaller and the linguistic and logistical barriers greater. Perhaps the greatest paradox occurred after Christianity was virtually eliminated through an increasingly severe campaign of persecution from 1614 onwards. Small groups in isolated communities succeeded in preserving recognisably Christian beliefs and practices. However, many of these groups refused to accept the authority of Roman Catholic missionaries when they returned to Japan in the second half of the nineteenth century.　 In the course we will consider these and other issues, using a combination of primary and secondary materials. By studying the activities and ideas of missionaries, Japanese Christians, and Japanese who did not become Christian, students will gain general understanding of the dynamics of cross-cultural contact. They will also learn about the nature of history through interpreting primary materials and studying different approaches to the history of Christianity in Japan.Textbooks：

　There will be a selection of assigned readings for each class. They will be available for downloading from keio.jp, with notes on each reading available on my web site (http://web.hc.keio.ac.jp/~hjb/).

　I hope to attract students from a variety of backgrounds. This is because the course will gain from the combined viewpoints of people from areas which have sent Christianity missionaries to Japan, such as Portugal and the United States, and of people from areas which have played host to Christian missionaries, both in Asia (including Japan itself) and elsewhere.　I will expect students to attend all classes, on time, to do the assigned readings, and to participate in class discussions. However, if the end-of-term paper and presentation are of a poor quality (for example if they are plagiarised or depend on non-academic sources), students will fail the course even if they have fulfilled these minimum requirements.　Sessions will be organized into a combination of formal lectures and interactive seminars.Method of Evaluation：

READING COLONIALISM IN (SOUTH) EAST ASIA 2credits

（Fall）

東・東南アジアにおける植民地主義を読む 2 単位（秋学期）Reading Colonialism in (South) East Asia

Lecturer CHANDRA, ELIZABETH講師チャンドラ，エリザベス


This course considers the knotty issues of race and gender in the history of colonialism in East and Southeast Asia. Unlike conventional investigations of colonial history, this course will rely on fiction as the primary source. Literary works such as novels and short stories have proven capable of conveying sketches and moments of life, which state archives, church records, civil registry, and other official records failed to capture. This is because fiction has the capacity to re-present the complexity of human emotion, the nuances of culture, the textures of power, and the fine curves of a political landscape.

The colonial experience is a context that calls for such “sensitive” historical inquiries. The gap between our Western intellectual tradition and the colonized people’s particular scheme of culture underscores the necessity of “alternative” sources to get a better view of the colonial history. The fact that most records from the colonial period were produced by, and speak from the point of view of, those in “power”


17

further complicates the historical reconstruction of experiences under colonial rules.

In this course we will examine novels, short stories, and films written by or told from the point of view of colonized persons and various colonial agents. We will attempt to look at a variety of colonial experiences – from Burma, the Philippines, Thailand, Indonesia, Indochina, to Korea and Taiwan – as diverse and intimate as the domestic order, racial negotiation, sexual taboo, cross-cultural humor, displacement, paranoia, and nostalgia.

JAPAN IN THE FOREIGN IMAGINATION 2credits（Spring）

英国と米国のマスコミに描かれた日本 2 単位（春学期）

Lecturer KINMONTH, EARL H.講師キンモンス，アールＨ.


This course examines foreign (primarily Anglo-American) views of Japan, both contemporary and historical. Knowing the common and often highly distorted images of Japan and the Japanese, both positive and negative, presented in foreign mass media and popular culture is important to both Japanese and foreign students. These images have been and continue to be significant in Japan's diplomatic and economic relations with other countries. Moreover, the mechanisms that distort the foreign view of Japan also work to distort the Japanese view of foreign countries. Teaching students how to recognize distorted images of foreign countries and peoples is a major goal of this course.　Lectures are supplemented by video and audio materials in addition to examples drawn from relevant foreign journalism about Japan. Textbooks：

No textbook is used. Examples of foreign writing and foreign broadcasts pertaining to Japan will be made available via the web site for the course maintained by the instructor. Significant writing pertaining to each topic will be introduced and discussed in the lectures. Reference Books：

FOREIGN RELATIONS OF JAPAN 2credits（Spring）

日本の対外関係 2 単位（春学期）Japanese Diplomacy toward International Community

Lecturer ABE, TADAHIRO講師安部忠宏


　At the beginning of the 21st century, it was expected that we could finally materialize real peace and prosperity in the international community where the global security structure under the cold-war regime had been turned into the post-Cold-War regime. The reality, however, proved to be to the contrary so far: The international community is exposed to various types of newly emerged threats and problems impeding the achievement of global/regional peace and prosperity, such as international terrorism, illegal development of nuclear arms, nuclear proliferation, regional conflicts, regional territorial disputes, human atrocity, infringement of human rights, environmental degradation and financial/budgetary crisis, in addition to the traditional type of economic and security problems. Because of these evolvements, each countries of the international community is more required to work together, because of the complexity of the problems, in order to tackle such issues in an appropriate and effective manner. 　The international relations(IR) are floating still within the age of uncertainty. Under these circumstances, it is indispensable for us to understand the IR by taking endogenous factors into consideration so that we can work out better solutions: We need to think about our future in a comprehensive manner, based on an accurate knowledge on the reality with some historical implications of the multi-dimensional, multi-faceted international relations, built upon various sorts of causalities among various players and factors evolving economies, politics and security considerations. Japan, an unique player as a pacifist nation in the Asia-Pacific region, has been sincerely trying to be a part of the international efforts, made in line with these understanding, aiming at realizing peace and prosperity in the global community. However, it gradually recognized during the process that its national interests has been exposed to various infringements from exogenous players because of the lack of adequate responsiveness, partly deriving from its unilateral pacifism, to the problems in the international/regional community where power plays vital roles in seeking solution.　So, in this course, we may study the current international relations from wider perspectives, including the Japanese foreign policy; its historical experiences, concrete policies and measures taken with regard to the respective international/regional issues and problems.

The purpose of this course is to examine the emerging policy agenda, human security, in East Asian context. Human security, though known primarily for its famous but ambiguous twin goals of freedom from threat and freedom from want, in fact touches upon many dimensions of human (collective and individual) life. As such the seeds for what has developed into “Human Security” are in nearly all policies aiming at modernizing political, economic and even cultural life. Therefore, we explore characteristics of modernization in both developed and developing societies in order to evaluate the significance of human security policy. Textbooks：

I am planning to rely on a set of textbooks as such. I rely freely on the material easy to access for the students.Reference Books：

Many key Human Security documents and statistical data related to human security are accessible through Internet.

CONSTRUCTING JAPAN -INDIA PARTNERSHIP 2credits

（Spring）

日本とインドのパートナーシップを構築する 2 単位（春学期）Indian-Japanese Perspectives and Policies

Lecturer WILLIAMS, MUKESH K.講師ウィリアムス，ムケーシュ


In recent years there has been a new upsurge in Japan-India partnership evidenced through university exchange programs in social sciences and technology, Economic Partnership Agreements (EPAs) in the areas of industrial manufacture and household electronics, and IT business connected to software services and e-learning. This has opened the way for both countries to benefit mutually through exchanges of intellectual capital, innovative skills and manufactured products. Yet much of the business and cultural protocols of the two countries remain somewhat inaccessible to policy makers, business enterprises, and the public at large. Indians see Japan as a rich but linguistically difficult to do business with, while the Japanese see India as intellectually advanced but quite bureaucratic and ethnically diverse. There is a need to bridge the gap within the Japanese academic community by translating cultures, social practices, business protocols, IT-related procedures and academic standards. Given the above-mentioned urgencies, the course will trace the cultural similarities and spiritual affinities between the two countries beginning in the sixth century with the arrival of Indian saint Bodhisena to Nara, moving to the cotton and silk merchants to Yokohama and Kobe in the early twentieth century, to the coming of freedom fighters like Rash Behari Bose and Subhash Chandra Bose in the early and mid twentieth century, and ending with the recent influx of IT professionals in the twenty-first century. The course will further study the new financial assistance by Japan to India and economic cooperation between the two countries such as ODA, FDI, EPA, Maruti-Suzuki Automobile Partnership, Delhi Metro Project, Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor Project (DMIC), and other projects related to mobile technology, disaster management, civilian nuclear technology and optic fiber networks. The course will also introduce students to borrowings between Devanagri and Hiragana syllabary and useful Indian and Japanese phrases for effective business and social communication.

This course will use an interdisciplinary approach to explore the shifting contours of India's and Japan’s past by focusing on the economies, nuclear policies, hard/soft identities, literatures and languages. It will not provide a simplistic solution by employing a unified “grand” narrative but explore multiple narratives to reveal the unity and fragmentariness of the Indian and Japanese experiences. Beginning with an examination of the histories of an Indian past, the course will proceed through lectures by representatives of the Indian and Japanese communities and the academia, to develop a more comprehensive perspective of India and the historical and cultural connections that inform Japan’s policies to India today.

The class will be conducted in English and reading and writing will be primarily in English.Grades are also based on attendance and classroom participation.Textbooks：

JAPAN-AMERICA SHARED HISTORIES 2credits（Fall）

日米関係史 2 単位（秋学期）Japan-America Shared Narratives

Lecturer WILLIAMS, MUKESH K.講師ウィリアムス，ムケーシュ


The US arose as the most powerful nation after World War II while Japan emerged as one of the most prosperous countries in the 1980s. Japan and the US share a history that spans centuries, though the relationship has seen many ups and downs. Both nations now cooperate in the areas of military security, information sharing, corporate management, global technology, professional networking, digital and print media, socio-economic systems, venture capitalism, ecological sustainability and cross-cultural awareness. Both nations also possess a strong work ethic which is responsible for their industrial development and national greatness. Though over the centuries there have been significant interactions between these two countries, it is only after the defeat of Japan in World War II and the signing of the San Francisco Peace Treaty in 1951, that Japan-US relationship enters a new phase. Since the late 1950s US presence in the Asia Pacific region increased and Japanese industrialization gained a fillip with IMF loans. In the 1980s trade relations between the two countries became rough due to Japanese protectionism but gradually it thawed. After the breakup of the Soviet bloc in 1989 the perceived threat from Russia diminished, but in recent years this has been replaced by the growing assertiveness of China. Today both nations are beset with political, economic and demographic problems they still provide leadership and direction to the rest of the world. The attempt in the class will be to combine the strategies and methodologies of American Studies and Japanese Studies to understand the trajectories both nations have taken after World War II. We will try to understand key concepts relating to freedom, welfare, civil rights, sovereignty, representation, democracy and religion in order to create a composite intellectual and political culture based on the methodologies of cultural studies and social sciences. Students will get an opportunity to:1. acquire presentation and negotiation skills,2. learn new concepts, methods and vocabularies,3. understand stereotypes of knowledge and reason/develop critical thinking to understand bias, manipulation, prejudice, discrimination andhegemony,4. synthesize diverse opinions and perspectives from within and outsideJapan and America,5. develop skills to write/think purposefully and strategically, and6. acquire the habit to pursue knowledge independently and scientifically.Textbooks：

NATIONALISM: FROM INCEPTION TO SOUTHEAST ASIA


ナショナリズム―その起源から東南アジアでの展開 2 単位

（春学期）Nationalism: From Inception to Southeast Asia

Lecturer CHANDRA, ELIZABETH講師チャンドラ，エリザベス


This course aims to familiarize students with existing scholarship in the study of nationalism, with emphasis in the formation of nation-states up until the so-called “third wave nations” of Southeast Asia. It traces the development of the concept of nationalism in conjunction with the emergence of nation-states from arguably its inception in the New World to its expansion all over the world, especially in modern Japan and the colonized territories of Southeast Asia.

During the course of the semester, we will address questions related to the formation and spread of the nation-state form such as: Where do we locate its conceptual origins? Is it really, as many scholars say, a modern creation? When and how, for instance, did Japan become a nation-state? What makes formerly colonized nations different, for instance, from Japan? How do we make sense of the nation from a gendered point of view? Is the experience of nationhood different in countries with a strong patriarchal culture like Japan? Finally, in the age of globalization and world economy, is the nation-state becoming obsolete? Will Asia see supra national communities like the EU, or instead the sharpening of national borders and sentiments (such that we see in exchanges over disputed territories in East Asia or in the rise of right-leaning parties in Europe)?

This course is designed to be an interdisciplinary undertaking, as we will deal with writings by historians, political scientists, philosophers, and anthropologists. To take advantage of the international background of participants of this class, students are especially encouraged to bring into discussions the experience of nationalism in their country.Reference Books：

　The objective of this course is to discuss and understand the recent developments in the Japanese economy and its policies. 　The course will provide opportunities for students, especially for those coming from abroad, to review and understand various economic issues that have arisen in Japan in the last three decades. It will also provide opportunities for Japanese students to look at their own economy from a global perspective. The focus of the discussion will be less on theoretical and empirical aspects and more on understanding the economic, political, social as well as historical background of the current economic issues that are in the minds of the Japanese people today.

Students are expected to participate actively in classroom discussions. This course is expected to provide a rare opportunity to engage in discussions on the Japanese economy in English, among a mixture of Japanese and non-Japanese students.Method of Evaluation：

Professor,Graduate School of Business and Commerce

KASHIWAGI, SHIGEO商学研究科教授柏木茂雄（フジタ・チェアシップ基金）


　The objective of this course is to discuss and deepen the understanding on policy implications of economic integration, especially in Asia.　The course will provide opportunities for students to examine various aspects of policy issues that have arisen from the emergence of many global issues and the increased economic integration. Students will have the opportunity to review the challenges imposed on policymakers from globalization and explore ways to enhance international cooperation to meet these challenges, especially in the Asian context. Students will also discuss the emerging economic integration in Asia in comparison with the developments that took place in Europe. Discussions will be made from practical and policy perspectives rather than from theoretical viewpoints. Classroom discussions will enable students to familiarize themselves with the issues that are being discussed at various international meetings and to engage in more informed and effective discussions on these issues.

Textbooks：

　There will be no textbooks. Handouts and/or copies of background material will be distributed from time to time. Students are expected to make presentations on topics assigned to them based on relevant papers and to engage in active classroom discussions, which are conducted entirely in English.Course Plan：

　This course will be a combination of lectures and seminar-type class discussions conducted in English.　Classroom discussions for this course are expected to be a continuation of the discussions that take place during the class on "International Economy" offered in the spring semester by the same lecturer. Both courses will follow a similar approach but there will be no overlap and the spring semester course should not be regarded as a prerequisite for the fall semester course. It would be preferable and advisable for students to have strong interest in and basic knowledge of international economics. Method of Evaluation：

　Evaluation will be based on attendance, class participation and presentation of a term paper to be prepared on a relevant topic towards the end of the semester.

This course has two unique features. First, using case-study methods, we discuss issues and challenges that Japanese corporations face in today’s business environments. Second, in this course, which is partially open to students of the School of Business and Commerce, you work in small team settings throughout the semester. I expect a team to be composed of one Japanese junior student, one Japanese senior student, and two international students in the exchange program. This course offers you great opportunities to interactively learn management and business in Japan and to expose yourself to learning environments with great diversity. In order to take this course, you need to agree with the following five rules: (1) you have to complete all of the assignments before coming to class, (2) because some tasks will be team-assignments, you occasionally need to find time to meet your teammates before class, (3) I have rights to limit the number of international students in this course to approximately 20 and decide whether you are able to register this class after the first meeting, (4) you will need to pay for a package of business cases that we use in this course if your registration is permitted, and (5) I expect you not only to be active in leading discussions but also to be respectful for others’ ideas and arguments. Your show-up in the first meeting is mandatory, in which if the number of students who consider taking this course is over 20, I will give you small assignments to make decisions about your eligibility of registration. Some knowledge about management and strategy is preferable, but not pre-requisite. Method of Evaluation：

THE GLOBALIZATION OF JAPAN AND JAPANESE

BUSINESS 2credits（Fall）

日本のグローバル化と日本企業 2 単位（秋学期）The Globalization of Japan and Japanese Business

Lecturer STAPLES, ANDREW講師ステイプルズ，アンドリュー


Japan, through foreign direct investment (FDI), exports and other forms of cross border activity, has been one if the key drivers of globalization in the contemporary era. Over the past forty years, Japanese firms have invested in every major economic region of the world and Japanese brands have become commonplace. At the same time, it is increasingly clear that globalization is not a one way process and the challenge for Japan and Japanese firms is to both seize the opportunities that globalization presents while simultaneously dealing with the associated risks and difficulties. Accordingly this course surveys Japan's engagement with the global economy through the corporate sector and ask how Japanese firms, and more broadly Japan as an investment destination, is coping with globalization.

This course is presented in three key segments: the first presents an opportunity to critically engage with the contested concept of globalization while the second and third components examine Japan as a globalizer (through FDI) and the third surveys the impact of globalization on Japan. The focus here is on the corporate sector rather than more political or social aspects of global engagement.

On completion of this course students will have acquired:　Knowledge and understanding of issues relating to the globalization of Japan and Japanese business; A practical understanding of key analytical approaches to international business; Firsthand knowledge of business and management through interaction with senior corporate executives; Research, analysis and presentation skills.Textbooks：

There is no set text for this course but a suggested reading list will be made available. Up to date content from the media will feature prominently and participants are encouraged to engage with both Japanese and overseas sources of information. Guidance will be provided.Reference Books：

1 Globalization, global business and Japan 1What is globalization, what does it mean for business and what does it mean for Japan? These first two sessions provide the context and analytical framework for the remainder of the course. Session 1 focuses on the concept of globalization itself and the relevance of this for business and management.

2 Globalization, global business and Japan 2Continuing our examination of globalization, this session focuses attention on Japan's experience as a globalizer and highlights the more recent challenges of becoming globalized.

3 Understanding FDIThis class introduces and reviews the significant body of work that has evolved over the years in an attempt to understand the phenomenon of FDI and answer the basic question of why firms operate overseas. Particular attention will be given to John Dunning's ‘eclectic paradigm’ and its application to Japanese FDI.

4 Japanese outbound investment - overview and framework,Japanese investment in North America.Japanese firms have been major investors overseas, particularly from the mid-1980s onwards, and Japan is regularly one of the top 5 overseas investors. This session surveys major trends historical trends and also looks at Japanese FDI in North America. The following sessions analyze Japan’s outbound FDI from various perspectives starting with a macro-level analysis of FDI trends. We will also consider the implications of FDI for Japanese firms and Japan in terms of human resource management, operations and industrial upgrading.

5 Japanese investment in EuropeContinuing our regional examination of Japanese FDI, this session focuses on the Japanese firm in Europe.

6 Japanese investment in East AsiaContinuing our regional examination of Japanese FDI, this session focuses on the Japanese firm in East Asia.

7 Japanese investment in ROWContinuing our regional examination of Japanese FDI, this session focuses on the Japanese firm outside the three core areas of economic activity (North America, East Asia and Europe).

8 Abenomics and the new wave of Japanese FDI


31

In addition to promoting inward investment to Japan (see below), Abenomics seeks to promote outbound investment by Japanese firms. Infrastructure related investment to emerging economies are particularly supported. How successful will this strategy be?

9 Japan as an investment destination - overview and framework Inward FDI and economic revitalization in Japan. In recent years Japan, along with many other East Asian countries including, notably Korea, has become a keen promoter of inward FDI, which is now seen as having an important role to play in the ‘revitalization’ of the Japanese economy. But how attractive is Japan as an investment location?

10 Inward investment promotion and economic revitalizationGuest speaker from JETRO(TBC)

11 The foreign firm in Japan 1 What has been the experiences of foreign firms in Japan and what are the broader implications of increasing foreign participation in the Japanese economy? This session will utilize a case study to be distributed in advance.

12 The foreign firm in Japan 2 Guest speaker from foreign affiliated firm (TBC)

13 Abenomics and inward investment in Japan Prime Minister Abe is trying to attract a new wave of investment to Japan, particularly in hi-tech sectors. Will he succeed?
