Syllabus: “Japanese”, “Modern”, “Literature”: Exploring Japan’s Modernity
through Literary Discourse
Instructor: Irina Holca ([email protected])
Class meetings: Wed 4th period, Fri, 3rd period
Course description:
This course will focus on two main themes and several sub-themes, in order to
explore developments and trends in modern Japanese literature and culture. In the
first half of the course we will read literary works dealing with the encounters between
Japan and the world from the beginning of the Meiji period to the present. Next, we
will turn our attention to literary works illustrating the way modernization redefines
human relations, and focus on topics such as family, friendship, love, etc. This
course will also provide background information and analytical methodologies which
will help you put literary texts into perspective, while questioning the dichotomies
“Japan-West”, “modern-traditional”, and looking at “literature” as their locus of
dialogue.
Course requirements:
You are expected to attend classes regularly, read all assigned materials in time,
think about them carefully, and participate actively in class discussions. Most
materials will be in English, with the occasional short excerpt in the Japanese original.
At the end of each class, you will be asked to submit short analytical comments and/
or critical questions (150-200 words) about the material covered in class. You will
also have to write two papers (2000-2500 words) related to each of the two main
topics of the course. For these papers you can, for example, choose one of the works
discussed in class and analyze it in more detail, or choose to analyze a completely
different work related to the two themes. Both papers are due at the end of the
semester (deadline: 05/20). Guidance about topic choice and essay development will
be offered on demand. Formatting instructions will be made available at the
beginning of the course.

Konan Japanese Translation Spring 2015 This course will examine both the theory and practice of translation, particularly translation from Japanese to English. Students will read articles (some online, e.g., www.translationdirectory.com/translation_theory.htm, but some supplied by the instructor) and examine how the concepts and theories presented in the articles are realized in existing translations. Students will also do translations in a variety of fields, ranging from literature to newspapers to social and natural science articles to tourist promotional material. Practice translations will be submitted without identifying marks and the different student translations will be discussed in class by all participants. Goals: -Be able to identify and define the purpose of a given translation. -Depending on the purpose and field, produce an appropriate translation ranging from literal to idiomatic. -Identify structural and cultural differences affecting Japanese-English translations (e.g., recipes in English use the imperative but do not in Japanese; Japanese obligatorily distinguishes older and younger siblings but English does not). Texts: Online or supplied by instructor. Products: 1) Three short papers identifying the application of theoretical concepts in existing J-E translations (“short papers”) 2) Translations assigned for and discussed in class (“translations”). 3) One longer, annotated translation of a text chosen by the student (“long translation”). This is equivalent to a term paper. Grading: Translations 30% Class Discussions 20% Short Papers 30% Long Translation 20%

Socio-economic Studies of Contemporary Japan
Course Description
By having a closer look at recently-coined words, terms and expressions in
Japanese, this course will give students a broad overview about contemporary Japan’s
socio-economic transformation from a multi-disciplinary approach, which includes
economics, sociology, linguistics and cultural studies. It is intended to help students
gain a basic understanding of contemporary Japanese economy and society.
This course will investigate the intricate interrelationship between economy and
the socio-cultural dimension in contemporary Japan. One important question that will
be addressed in this course is whether and how socio-cultural understanding can
contribute to the proper analysis of economic issues in Japan.
This course will meet twice per week. The majority of class time will be spent on
interactive lectures and active class discussion. Audio-visual materials will supplement
lecture.
Course Objectives
1. developing students’ international learning experiences and diversity awareness
2. developing a wide range of knowledge of Japan
3. helping students to learn about the methods and theories of the various disciplines
contributing to the study of Japan
4. deepening students’ understanding of the ways in which economy, society and
culture have interacted with each other in modern Japan
5. encouraging students to compare Japan with their own countries
6. stimulating students’ academic interest in various aspects of Japan
Grading Policy
Reading materials (in electronic format) and question paper will be available in
advance. Students are required to attend class having read the materials and answered
all questions on question paper. Students need to submit answer sheet for each lesson,
explain their answers to the class, make presentations about what they read and
participate in class discussions. The quality of answer sheets, presentations and
contributions to class discussions will be a part of final grades.
Attendance will be taken and students who fail to attend regularly will
automatically receive a failing grade (see “Attendance Policy” below).
At the end of the course, students are required to submit a term paper consisting of
UHM equivalent: SOC 357
2
more than 10 pages. The subject of the term paper should be related to the topics of the
course.
Answer Sheets: 30%
Class Participation (including attendance and discussion): 20%
Presentation: 20%
Term Paper: 30 %
Attendance Policy
Students are expected to attend all class sessions. Students are allowed only two
unexcused absences during the semester without penalty. A third unexcused absence
will reduce your grade in the course by 10 points (equivalent to one letter grade in the
American system). A fourth unexcused absence will reduce your grade by another 10
points. More than four unexcused absences will result automatically in a failing grade
for the course.
Legitimate excuses for absence are normally limited to illnesses or accidents that
require medical attention. All legitimate absences must be supported with
documentation, such as a note from a medical professional, a receipt from a hospital or
clinic, etc. Please appeal to the Resident Director if you feel you have reasons why an
absence should be excused without documentation.
