Description



This is a hybrid course. It is available to both undergraduate and postgraduate students. The course content, delivery and assessment will be identical for both groups of students.

Subject Area: Japanese Studies

This course presents an opportunity for students to study a variety of modern and contemporary Japanese literary classics. By focusing on a language-based reading of Japanese literature, the course provides students with a challenge to examine how literary works are constituted as a verbal art by exploring the manner in which the patterns of language function to contribute in the creation of the literary form. A wide range of Japanese literary text genres and styles will be presented. In addition to these texts, the course also includes a consideration of verbal art in both drama and film. Students are required to analyse one literary work as verbal art using the framework presented in the course.
