Features of Major Subjects
Master's Program
| Subject Name | Features |
| Representation and Culture | Representational culture studies in Japan is a relatively new field, having started in 1987. It centers on the concept of "representation" and comprehensively studies various cultural phenomena across disciplines. It is an interdisciplinary field of study that analyzes and examines a wide range of aspects of culture and art. |
| cultural policy theory | This lecture will cover the historical background and institutional characteristics of arts and culture policy in Japan, a crucial area of cultural policy. The first half will trace the historical development of Japanese cultural policy from the Meiji era to the end of the 20th century, and the second half will provide an overview of the situation since the enactment of the Basic Law for the Promotion of Culture and Arts, as well as the system of public facilities that serve as the basis for local governments to establish cultural facilities. Finally, we will confirm that cultural policy is an important policy that is involved in the formation of the foundation of a democratic society. |
| Traditional Performing Arts | We will be reading the works of Zeami, the master of Noh. The goal is to read the texts carefully, without falling into the trap of mere impressionistic criticism, and to delve into the depths of the Middle Ages, a period that had a major impact on the formation of Japanese sensibilities, while thinking from multiple angles about the universe of Noh as a total medium. |
| Performing Arts | How did the "theatrical body" of the time respond to Japan's modernization? This is a historical study of the relationship between modernity and physicality, focusing on the development of the prehistory of the so-called "new drama." |
| Media Literacy | "Media literacy" refers to the ability to read and write when engaging with various media, and the practice of doing so (please note that it is not the name of an academic field). In today's world, where electronic media and means of communication have become highly developed, it is an activity that has been attracting increasing attention, but what exactly is "media"? What are the characteristics and influence of "media" itself? If we do not understand this, we will end up interacting with media in the wrong way. Taking into account media research in various countries and the reality of media literacy education in Canada and other countries, we would like to explore constructive media research and guidelines for leading a quality media culture. We would also like to address various aspects and issues of media since 3/11. |
| Visual Media Theory | Participants will be chosen based on their interests, either on human resource development in the film industry or on strategies for expanding overseas. |
