Goals of the Course | | | This course will study the transformation of the cultural and social system in modern Japan by examining the development and spread of electrical technology. Appearing in many guises such as lights, the telegraph and motors, electrical technology has propelled modern life and generated new cultures around the world. The ways in which technology is incorporated within and adapted by each culture and society is not the same everywhere. There are local variations in the application of technology which may be attributed to the dynamics of culture, society and technology. During the course, these rich themes are used to explore and illuminate salient characteristics and the historical transformation of modern Japan. |
