Course Description
"Chungomikura" is considered as one of the most well-known pieces of Japanese classical performing arts. This lecture compares the Korean translated version of "Kana Temoto Tadaomikura", which is also the origin of the name of "Chusaomikura", with Japanese original texts and notes. This lecture is given in Korean, as one needs to read Korean translations. In addition, discussion sessions are also in Korean. The course begins with an outline of puppet theater and kabuki, the performing arts at the premiere of Kana Temoto Tadaomikura, and introduces the current Bunraku and Kabuki. Then, based on the readings of each stage of "Kana Temotomoto Tadaomikura", there is an opportunity to view it while comparing the images of Kabuki and Bunraku.

Course Description
This course examines politics through the medium of film in Japan and in the U.S. Films can provide a perspective on how we view political, economic, social, and cultural issues. The readings provide history and context. Class time is devoted to discussion to explore questions such as: How is gender, class, and race reflected in the films? From social science perspectives, what do the films ‘get right' and what do they ‘get wrong'? What do the films teach us about politics, society, or popular culture? What do the films tell us about the culture of the times? Are the films still relevant today? Do films shape the way we view politics or does politics shape the way we view films? This course has two distinct (but overlapping sections): analyzing portrayals of gender, class, and race in classic Japanese films; and analyzing portrayals of candidates and politics in Hollywood and Japanese films. The class does not cover film aesthetics or film theory.
