科目名 Theme Studies I  Images of the Japanese in American Films
担当教員 池田 淑子
授業の目的、または到達目標 To understand the construction of images of Japan and the Japanese in American films.
授業の概要 This class explores the ways in which the present images of the Japanese have developed from the conventional stereotypes in the past in order to understand the intricate relationship between the images of the Japanese and the Americans themselves. The class will watch the films (outside the class), read the articles about them, and interpret the filmic images of the Japanese and Americans from WWⅡ to the present. We will examine their cultural contexts that create such images. While exploring these images, the class will seek to also improve reading, writing, discussion and presentation skills.
