Course Description
This course examines Japanese short fiction in the modern period, by focusing on texts containing encounters between representatives of Japan and what lies beyond its shores. These encounters are not confined to meetings between individuals but also includes a "meeting of minds" when the protagonist or the text itself can be seen to have engaged with something from beyond Japan.
All texts are discussed on the basis of their English-language translations and the language of discussion is English. However, the original Japanese texts are available and native speakers of Japanese are particularly encouraged to use their knowledge of the original language to contribute to the discussion.
