Description
Subject Area: Japanese Studies
This course provides 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.
This course is taught in Japanese.
