Course Moderator: Hideyuki Yamamoto (Professor of American Literature, Graduate School of Humanities, Kobe University)

Course Schedule（開講スケジュール）:Day 1: August 8 (Tuesday)―8 月 8 日（火）・1th Period―1 限(8:50～10:20)“Culture and the Recognition of Emotion”

Keiko Ishii

Previous studies have suggested that different practices across cultures encourage divergent
modes of attention and perception. Whereas North Americans tend to attend more analytically toa focal object while ignoring its context, East Asians including Japanese tend to attend more
holistically to both a focal object and its context. In line with these studies on culture andcognition, I have investigated whether and to what extent culturally specific practices and valuesinfluence individual's sensitivity to emotional cues. In this lecture, I introduce the findings anddiscuss implications for future work on culture and emotion.

・2nd Period―2 限(10:40～12:10)“Rediscovery of Yourself”
For more than 40 years, Kobe Japan Australia Society has been providing an invaluable
program that offers young Japanese in their 20's the opportunity to leave the confines ofJapanese conventions to broaden their horizons and rediscover their love of their Japanesefoundations. The one year experience of working as an intern on the Japanese language assistantprogram in Australian schools enables them to become reacquainted with their own country, its
culture and linguistic nuances by seeing Japan through the eyes of others.

・3rd Period―3 限(13:20～14:50)“Early Japanese Pilgrimage and Modern Japanese Travel Behaviour”
The ambiguous nature of Japanese religion means that pilgrimage and travel have long beensynonymous in Japan, and an understanding of the development of pilgrimage is vital to anunderstanding of present-day Japanese travel habits. In this lecture I will examine various
features of pilgrimage (the senbetsu-miyage custom, meisho and meibutsu, kinen andphotographs) that still remain important aspects of Japanese travel habits nowadays.

・4th Period―4 限(15:10～16:40)“Commensality and the History of Rice”
Eating being one of the basic acts indispensable to survival, the amount of literature andresearch related to food—both its production and consumption, as necessity, pleasure, or duty tosome higher beings—is most likely the largest within the topics that have concerned humanity.
The present lecture will focus on the meaning and role of rice, both as a staple food and something
to be offered to the gods, in an analysis that will touch upon eating as a social act, commensality
with the gods, reunion with deceased ancestors, or the simple act of survival.

Day 2: August 9 (Wednesday)―８月９日（水）・1st Period―1 限(8:50～10:20)“Violations of Socially Shared Norms Enhance Moral Emotions”

Yohsuke Ohtsubo
Associate Professor of Psychology, Graduate
School of Humanities, Kobe University

Large-scale cooperation among unrelated individuals distinguishes human societies fromsocieties of other social species. Empirical evidence indicates that large-scale cooperation is
maintained by punishment against non-cooperators. However, why people punish non-cooperators
is a very difficult evolutionary puzzle. A recent evolutionary game analysis revealed thatpunishment can evolve if punishers coordinate their punitive behaviors. We have recently showedthat moral emotions, such as moral outrage, is sensitive to the information of how others would
react to a particular norm violation, and this may be an underlying psychological mechanism ofcoordinated punishment.

・2nd Period―2 限(10:40～12:10)“Pop Culture and Cultural Industry: For Humanities to Survive”

Kiyomitsu Yui

In this lecture a way to survive our contemporary harsh and turmoil age for Humanities isexplored. Starting with a rough sketch of fundamental shift of our society the talk will proceed tothe analysis of 'the age of culture' and its global nature. The materials from Japanese pop culture
will be used for the illustration. Especially the traveling pop culture from Japan to the world will
be focused.

・3rd Period―3 限(13:20～14:50)“Aesthetics of Japanese Modern Nostalgia”

Kantaro Ohashi

This lecture aims at pointing out several aspects of Japanese modern culture toward nostalgia
and interpreting their aesthetic-political meaning. In fact, there are so many cultural products
such as films, music, or artworks that evoke "our nostalgic" feeling. After referring to westernideas on that subject, for example, that of Adorno and Horkheimer or that of French critic Babara
Cassin, we try to understand the proper scope and effects of nostalgia in modern Japan.

・4th Period―4 限(15:10～16:40)“ “What are you anyway?”: North-American Hapas and Their Identity
Puzzle”

Alina Anton
Associate Professor of American Studies, Graduate
School of Humanities, Kobe University

Driven by an innate tendency to categorize, to fit what we encounter in a schema in order tosave time and effort, we (or our brains) need only a split second to identify and label what we see.
But what happens when what we see does not fit in previously established patterns? How do weclassify, for instance, a black face with Asian eyes? Or an Asian face with Western eyes? The
lecture will explore this question of (ascribed) identity and self-definition that mixed-heritage
people are faced with, on an almost regular basis, with a particular focus on hapa individuals(multiracials of partial Asian/Pacific Islander descent) in North America.
