授業の概要

The course will help you to critically analyze the representation of identities in mass media and popular cultural texts such as: newspapers and magazines, cartoons (manga) and animation, children's books, television dramas and other TV programmes, movies, television commercials and newspaper advertising, and travel brochures. We will look at how men and women, gay and straight people, Japanese people and foreigners, young and old people, and other identities are shown in these texts. We will also think about these three issues: the way that some identities are represented as 'natural' or normal; whether representations of certain groups essentialize them (show them as all the same) or recognize diversity within them; and to what extent people consume and interpret media and popular culture actively and critically.

Each class will include explanation of a key topic or issue by the teacher, as well as discussions between students in small groups. In the second half of the course, you will do some research (with guidance from the teacher) on a cultural studies-related topic of interest to you, and give a presentation and lead a discussion on it with a small group of other students.

The teacher will use English and some Japanese in class. Students may discuss and present in English and/or Japanese.

科目目的

This course is an introduction to Cultural Studies. In it, you will analyse the ways that gender, sexuality, race, nationality and other identities are represented in the mass media and popular culture. Students may participate in the course in English, Japanese or both languages. A high level of English is not required to join this course, but taking the course can help you to develop your English.
