授業の目的 【英語】
Goals of the Course [ENG] | | | 【Standardized across all programs】 The goal of this course is to understand culture and art from the perspective of representation. “Representation” means something that is present in the mind or consciousness; specifically, it is the shape or figure that appears through letters, images, sounds, etc. Therefore, not only various works of art, literature, music, and films, but also media such as letters, images, and sounds are the target of this course. We will also examine how these representations have been expressed and received in relation to the times, society and culture. |

Objectives of the Course [ENG] | | | Overall, departing from our observations upon Asian metropolises/societies, students are expected to debate and discuss cinematic/visual/cultural texts in relation to the urban condition on local, regional, and global scales. Through the lectures, students are expected to learn how to approach and critique the cultural space of cities by utilizing key concepts drawn from various theoretical perspectives, such as cultural studies, visual culture, and sociology |

Study Load (Self-directed Learning Outside Course Hours) | | | the study load will largely depend on the students' commitment to pre-reading and previewing materials. Since homework viewing is not a weekly task, students should prioritize pre-lecture preparation to fully engage with the material during class. This preparatory work, combined with class participation and assignments, will form the core of the course's intellectual challenge and learning experience. The estimated study load, while variable, could still be significant due to the intensive format and depth of the content. |
