3220 LACS-238-01 Japanese Culture 1.00 LEC Izumi, Katsuya TR: 9:25AM-10:40AM TBA GLB2  
  Enrollment limited to 19 Waitlist available: N Mode of Instruction: In Person  
    Cross-listing: FILM-238-01, JAPN-238-01
  In this course, students will engage critically with the Japanese culture. Through animation films directed by Miyazaki Hayao, Kon Satoshi, and others, and modern Japanese short stories, we will examine the ideas of "basic" and perhaps "typical" Japanese cultural aspects and elements, as defined in Roger J. Davies and Osamu Ikeno's The Japanese Mind: Understanding Contemporary Japanese Culture. Students are expected to think about these aspects and elements, watching animation films and reading short stories. Most importantly, however, students are required to analyze the Japanese works from a critical perspective and to write "argumentative essays" on them. By close-reading the texts (both films and literary works), students will develop sensitivities toward what flows underneath cultural representations The coursework includes multiple drafts of term papers.

We will examine films that deal with immigration and the current refugee crisis in the Mediterranean, but also with LGBT culture and other human rights, as well as with Italians' attitudes toward diverse groups and cultures. How does Italian film historically reflect the 'other' in Italian culture and how is film being shaped by diversity? Films include: "Paisà" (Rossellini, 1946), "Una giornata particolare" (Scola, 1977), "Mine vaganti" (Ozpetek, 2010), "Terraferma" (Crialese, 2011).

  Prerequisite: C- or better in Hispanic Studies 270 and one of the following: Hispanic Studies 261, 262, 263, or 264, or permission of instructor.
  This course aims towards a 21st century reading of the Colombian Gabriel García Márquez’s ONE HUNDRED YEARS OF SOLITUDE (1967) and of other of his novels –El coronel no tiene quien le escriba, Crónica de una muerte anunciada, El amor en los tiempos del cólera--, and short stories –“Los funerales de la Mamá Grande," “La cándida Eréndira,” “La siesta del martes,” "El ahogado más hermoso del mundo." We will ponder how to (re)interpret in our current century the literary production of this 1982 Nobel Prize winner by re-contextualizing topics explored by García Márquez in his fictional writings such as the postcolonial, love, patriarchy, feminism, sexuality, identity, the magical, and authoritarianism in light of recent theoretical, sociopolitical, and ecological approaches. We will discuss film productions of some of these narrative texts, in particular the December 2024 NETFLIX series based on One Hundred Years of Solitude as a way to consider various mediums of artistic communication and the concept of adaptation. The course will explore the challenging transformation of García Márquez’s complex narrative structures into the visual language of film.

  From its beginnings in the early 20th C to the present, Italian Cinema has represented the social and cultural identity of the 'other' and 'otherness', that is, racial, ethnic, and sexual diversity. This course will study the representation of the different kinds of diversity in Italian film, from Neorealism to recent Italian cinema. We will examine films that deal with immigration and the current refugee crisis in the Mediterranean, but also with LGBT culture and other human rights, as well as with Italians' attitudes toward diverse groups and cultures. How does Italian film historically reflect the 'other' in Italian culture and how is film being shaped by diversity? Films include: "Paisà" (Rossellini, 1946), "Una giornata particolare" (Scola, 1977), "Mine vaganti" (Ozpetek, 2010), "Terraferma" (Crialese, 2011).

  Enrollment limited to 19 Waitlist available: Y Mode of Instruction: In Person  
  Prerequisite: Japanese 201 or equivalent.
  This course will help students develop skills and habits that are necessary to read regularly and extensively, for content and enjoyment, in Japanese. Students will choose their own texts according to their language level. They are encouraged to read different genres (poems, picture books, fantasies, biographies, histories, comic books, etc.) and are required to increase the length and complexity of their reading materials. By the end of the semester, students are also expected to develop a reading plan that continues into the following winter or summer break. The course is thus intended to support and supplement Elementary, Intermediate, and Advanced Japanese classes. As a supplementary course, this course does not fulfill any Japanese major or minor requirements and is repeatable for credit.

  In this course, students will engage critically with the Japanese culture. Through animation films directed by Miyazaki Hayao, Kon Satoshi, and others, and modern Japanese short stories, we will examine the ideas of "basic" and perhaps "typical" Japanese cultural aspects and elements, as defined in Roger J. Davies and Osamu Ikeno's The Japanese Mind: Understanding Contemporary Japanese Culture. Students are expected to think about these aspects and elements, watching animation films and reading short stories. Most importantly, however, students are required to analyze the Japanese works from a critical perspective and to write "argumentative essays" on them. By close-reading the texts (both films and literary works), students will develop sensitivities toward what flows underneath cultural representations The coursework includes multiple drafts of term papers.
