NUPACE2004-2005NAGOYA UNIVERSITY PROGRAM FOR ACADEMIC EXCHANGE

1


As president of Nagoya University, I

would like to take this opportunity to

extend a heartfelt welcome to those of

you wishing to participate in the Nagoya

University Program for Academic

Exchange (NUPACE).

We live in a special era. Not only have

we come face to face with a new centu-

ry, but also the advent of a new millen-

nium. The east-west divide has crum-

bled along with the meltdown of the

Cold War, and global paradigms in

every field, be it politics, economics or

the industrial structure, have altered irre-

versibly. The youth of today should fol-

low neither the old order nor conform to

outdated concepts; you must realise that

you are fortunate in being alive at a time

ideally-suited to creating a new and bet-

ter world.

So that you may contribute construc-

tively to this era, it is of paramount

importance for you to lay an internation-

al foundation early in your life, prefer-

ably by experiencing life abroad, and to

develop those qualities that enable you

to comprehend a pluralistic, intercultural

environment.

You have been brought up in your

own individual culture of which you are

proud, and in which you probably wish

to make your home. That is only natur-

al. A person who has lost his or her

national or tribal identity will not earn

respect. Of significance, however, is that

the present and the future belong to an

international era. If I were to define

‘internationalisation’ to you, I would

emphasise mutual understanding,

respect, and co-operation based on these

qualities. Bearing this in mind, come to

Japan, come to Nagoya University and

add a new dimension both to your acad-

emic career and life.

Japan’s traditional culture and indus-

try have fused in modern-day Nagoya to

form a unique and harmonious blend. It

is an atmosphere most conducive to a

rewarding exchange. I trust that you will

do your utmost, not only to become

acquainted with the Japanese language

and culture, but also to develop your

academic work in a broader sense. I

wish you the best in your future career.

Minoru Matsuo PhDPresident, Nagoya University

Greetings from the President

The Chubu region, located in the heart of Japan, has played a central role in this nation’s history and has for long pros-

pered under a flourishing culture and economy. The area is particularly renowned as the home of Oda Nobunaga,

Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Tokugawa Ieyasu, the three military leaders who unified Japan over four hundred years ago,

thereby bringing an end to the Century of Warring States. Nagoya Castle, built by Tokugawa Ieyasu and famous for the

golden dolphins found on its donjon, serves as the landmark of the region. Its castle town, Nagoya, has thrived.

In contemporary Japan, this vibrant metropolis occupies an important political and economical position. Nagoya consti-

tutes the nerve centre of the Chubu Industrial Zone, an amalgamation of both traditional and modern industries, notable

amongst which is the automobile industry.

Although Nagoya University’s history can be dated back to 1871, when a medical school and hospital were founded on

the site of a local feudal government house, it was in 1939 that the university was formally established as Japan’s seventh

imperial university. Since 1949, after its re-emergence in the reformed post-war education system, Nagoya University has

not only developed as the pre-eminent educational establishment in the Chubu region, it has also flourished as one of the

foremost national universities in Japan.

Currently, Nagoya University consists of nine undergraduate schools, thirteen graduate schools, two research institutes

and twenty research centres. Approximately 16,500 students are enrolled at the university, over 1,100 of whom form a

lively international community. The teaching, research and administrative staff numbers about 3,400.

Whilst fostering an academic tradition of freedom and tolerance, today’s Nagoya University is constantly reinventing

itself in its quest to meet the challenges of the 21st century.

Introduction to CriticalDiscourse Analysis (spring; 2 credits; 1 class per week; courseco-ordinator: Edward HAIG)

Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) is a newinterdisciplinary approach to the study of socialproblems such as globalisation, the environ-ment, gender issues and racism. As one of the

most radical (and controversial) fields in thehumanities, CDA differs from conventionalsociolinguistic approaches to social issues inthat it goes beyond mere description of textualphenomena to the interpretation and evaluationof the complex relationships between language,discourse, ideology and power. The course willconsist of four parts. First we will consider thetheoretical basis of CDA, locating this new

approach in relation to earlier and alternativeapproaches. Second, students will be introducedto some of the main methods of CDA. Third,working in groups, students will use CDA toconduct a brief investigation into an issue oftheir choice, concluding with a group presenta-tion. Finally, in light of their experience, stu-dents will be asked to reflect critically on thestrengths and weaknesses of CDA itself.
