授業の目的 【英語】
Goals of the Course | | | On March 11, 2011 a gigantic earthquake hit northeastern Japan. Within minutes, the ensuing tsunamis destroyed a 500km stretch of coastline, claiming more than 18,000 lives, and triggering the worst nuclear incident since Chernobyl at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant. Fifteen years later, we will return to the disaster site. We will learn about key events and study the way writers have responded to the disaster through their work. The texts are discussed in close relation to their empirical contexts, helping students to better understand what arguably continues to be one of the most pressing - if increasingly invisibilized - issues in contemporary Japanese society, and consider the role of art in times of disaster. |
