科目名 Theme Studies  Stories of War and Displacement
担当教員 Sponseller, Aaron C.
授業の目的、または到達目標 To develop an awareness of issues related to displacement through film and literature, with particular emphasis on displacement within Japan and in the Japanese diaspora (Japanese migrants to other countries).
Learning Goals:
・Can identify several major international instances of displacement from the 20th century to the present
・Can describe major causes for displacement abroad
・Can articulate aspects of society that foster a sense of displacement among minority populations
・Can discuss displacement domestically and internationally as it relates to modern Japan
授業の概要 This course will examine issues in migration and displacement by drawing upon film and literature from the 20th century to the present. Students will develop an understanding of the causes of external displacement (emigration and immigration) and internal displacement. Course materials will include films (fiction and documentary) and literature (novels and short stories) from around the world. Students should develop an appreciation for how these issues relate to Japan today by looking at the experiences of the Japanese diaspora (migrants from Japan) and those of minority groups in Japan (including immigrants, historically discriminated groups, and Japanese with mixed-heritage).
