授業の目的 【日本語】
Goals of the Course(JPN) | | 観光をキーワードとするこの授業では、日本文化の表象、また異文化接触について論じます。観光客、すなわち「他者」の目に映る日本、「他者」向けに映し出される日本、日本からみた「他者」の一種としての観光客について論じます。
文化人類学・言語学・社会学を中心に学際的なアプローチを採用し、ホストとゲストのインターアクションのみならず、両者がそのインターアクションについて語るストーリー対する理解を深めることを目的とします。また、参加者一人ひとりの観光行動と情報収集について内省することによって、個人の観光行動を観察する習慣を身に着け、旅行中の学びにつなげることを副次的な目的とします。 |

授業の目的 【英語】
Goals of the Course | | The course aims to enhance our understanding of Japanese culture and society through the prism of tourism research approaches and theories.
It examines the range of ways in which tourism practices, host culture, and host-guest interactions are represented in media, advertising, tour guides, social media, and travel writing and how this storytelling contributes to social imagination from a historical perspective and in modern-days.
We will use the semiotic approach to analyze the language used to promote and introduce tourist destinations, and the signs and images used to define destinations or describe the visitors’ expectations and experiences.
The main objectives are:
(1) To get acquainted with the basic concepts of tourism studies, research strategies, and data interpretation by contemplating the cultural, social, linguistic, and economic dimensions of tourism in Japan.
(2) To explore the national image of Japan as a tourist destination as well as regional images and the role of linguistic and visual materials in creating these images.
(3) To reflect on our own patterns of behavior as tourists or travelers. |
