JPS122: Traditional Japanese Culture in Contemporary Society

This unit is designed to help students to develop their appreciation of the traditional cultural assets of Japan, and to understand how they continue to influence modern Japanese culture. It examines traditional Japanese culture from both historical and contemporary perspectives, and also looks at how traditional values and attitudes have been maintained in modern Japanese society and speculates on the nature of their influence in the future. Where possible, theoretical and historical examinations of Japanese culture are accompanied by a practical and/or performative introduction by guest lecturers. This unit is conducted in English. Assessment is based on a number of assignments, class presentations and tests.
