授業の目的 【英語】
Goals of the Course
This course is intended as a general overview of modern Japanese literature, covering the period between 1868 and the present. We begin by discussing the concept of “literature“, and by considering what makes it “modern“ and “Japanese“ before moving on to learn about a number of literary forms and political ideologies that inform(ed) literary production. The readings are discussed in close relation to their respective social and political contexts, providing students with good background knowledge of specific aspects of modern Japanese society. Finally, the course aims to familiarize students with various critical and theoretical approaches useful in any reading of literature.

授業の内容や構成
Course Content / Plan
Although every effort is made to minimize the reading load, the study of literature necessarily involves a significant amount of actual reading. Students should therefore be prepared to spend time reading a different piece of fiction ranging from short stories to long novels every week.

Below is a tentative outline:
W1 Introduction
W2 The invention of “Japanese literature”
W3 How to read literature
W4 Emerging from the shadows—modern women writers
W5 Elite men abroad—class, race, and the birth of the nation
W6 Autobiographical reading and writing modes
W7 Establishing a new genre--Shishōsetsu I
W8 Living a genre--Shishōsetsu II
W9 Literature as empowerment I (early feminism)
W10 Literature as empowerment II (proletarian literature)
W11 Wartime Conversion
W12 Writing the Student Movement
W13 Writing precarity, writing misogyny I
W14 Writing precarity, writing misogyny II
W15 Final exam
