概要

This course covers the history of the peoples living in the Japanese archipelago from prehistoric times to the nineteenth century. Though dominated by the political structure of the elite, the course also explores the cultural context which the elites shared with others.

目標

The goal of the course is to see history not as a linear process or natural progress that led a nation to modernity but one of struggle and change. We will investigate the country’s history through a variety of source materials and reexamine our images and ways of thinking of “Japan” in a critical and stimulating way.
