History of Economic Civilization In order to understand the great changes occurring in the modern world, it is inevitable to introduce not only a spatial axis but also a time axis. Whether it is politics, business, or culture, it is impossible to see through anything without understanding the great changes occurring in the world right now. The present age, where market economies and democracy, nation-states and corporations, and the elderly and the young collide, can be said to be the beginning of a decisive "great transformation" in modern civilization. The goal of this course is for students to grasp the modern world through the decoding grid of "economy," and then acquire a dual foothold that allows them to critically interpret it.
Contemporary Philosophy We will deal with, deepen our understanding of, and debate philosophical issues related to art in Western philosophy. We will understand and establish our own positions on issues such as: can judgments in art, such as "this painting is beautiful," require universality and necessity? What is the relationship between beauty and the sublime? Can only geniuses create art? Is art an imitation of nature or a play of the imagination? To what extent can art, such as tragedy, express humanity? Is art a tool to reveal truth? We will understand these issues mainly from Kant's "Critique of Judgment," Nietzsche's "The Birth of Tragedy" and "Thus Spoke Zarathustra," and Heidegger's "The Origin of the Work of Art."
Creative City Theory In this course, students will become players in the creative city and take the lead in research and creative activities, while also presenting their results at related academic conferences and in galleries around the city in Sibuya, Harajuku, and Aoyama areas.
Traditional Performing Arts We will be reading the works of Zeami, the master of Noh. The goal is to read the texts carefully, without falling into the trap of mere impressionistic criticism, and to delve into the depths of the Middle Ages, a period that had a major impact on the formation of Japanese sensibilities, while thinking from multiple angles about the universe of Noh as a total medium.
Performing Arts How did the "theatrical body" of the time respond to Japan's modernization? This is a historical study of the relationship between modernity and physicality, focusing on the development of the prehistory of the so-called "new drama."
Media Literacy "Media literacy" refers to the ability to read and write when engaging with various media, and the practice of doing so (please note that it is not the name of an academic field). In today's world, where electronic media and means of communication have become highly developed, it is an activity that has been attracting increasing attention, but what exactly is "media"? What are the characteristics and influence of "media" itself? If we do not understand this, we will end up interacting with media in the wrong way. Taking into account media research in various countries and the reality of media literacy education in Canada and other countries, we would like to explore constructive media research and guidelines for leading a quality media culture. We would also like to address various aspects and issues of media since 3/11.
Visual Media Theory Participants will be chosen based on their interests, either on human resource development in the film industry or on strategies for expanding overseas.
