Introduction to Japanese History, Society and Culture through Film

  • Japanese Society
  • Japanese History
  • Japanese Culture
  • Film Studies
  • Anime Studies

Students watch one film before each class. In the lecture videos, the instructor picks up and breaks down some scenes in that film for students' deeper understanding of Japanese society, history, and culture. The lecture video utilizes audiovisual materials such as historical records, news footage, and YouTube video to make the introductory course suitable for those who have never been to Japan. This course also goes over the film directors and the aesthetic qualities of movies to introduce students to film and visual studies.
