The course is open to undergraduate students (2nd year and above) and graduate students of the G30 JACS program. NUPACE
students and students from Japanese programs are welcome to participate. The course is held in English.
This course is not a lecture but a reading intensive seminar the outcome of which depends on everyone's level of preparation andparticipation.
On March 11, 2011 a gigantic earthquake hit northeastern Japan. Within minutes, the ensuing tsunamis destroyed a 500km
stretch of coastline, claiming more than 18,000 lives, and triggering the worst nuclear incident since Chernobyl at the Fukushima
Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant. Almost ten years later, reconstruction is well under way, but tens of thousands of people are still
unable to return home as vast stretches of land are contaminated by radioactivity. In this course, we will read about key facts
surrounding the triple disaster, and study the way writers have responded to it during the span of almost a decade. The texts are
discussed in close relation to their empirical contexts, helping students to better understand what continues to be one of the mostpressing issues in contemporary Japanese society, and consider the role of art in times of disaster.
While our main focus will be on works of literature published (and translated) after 3.11- Fukushima , we will make excursions
to other genres such as theatre, music, and film. The below schedule is tentative and subject to change.
W1-5: Background Readings
W6-10: Music, Manga, Theatre, Film, Art
W11-15: Poetry & ProseAll weekly readings will be made available in English as PDFs, etc. With few exceptions, the Japanese versions of the literary texts
are available from NU libraries.
