Description: FILM, LITERATURE & THE JAPANESE PAST ***** DISTRIBUTION COURSE GROUP 2 ***** Every day, we retell our past to find meaning in our present. Since 1945, authors and film directors in Japan have made sense of the horrors of war, the challenges of rapid economic growth, and the crisis of affluence through artistic reinterpretations of historical themes. In this course we will examine both the historical allusions and the uses to which they have been put in 20th century Japanese film and literature. Limited Enrollment. ***** Also offered as ASIA 369.
