JPTR 3391 - Women in Modern Japanese Literature

Effective Start Date: 10/01/2020
This course will study how women and femininity have been represented in modern Japan–roughly defined as Japan from the 1890s to the present–mostly through textual literature but also through other mediums including film, manga, and stage productions. We will also analyze how modern and contemporary Japanese treatments of gender and individual identity reflect and/or defy broader global discourses on these issues.
