6【Outline and objectives】
When you follow media outlets from different countries, you will
notice that very similar events or concepts can be elaborated uponin very different ways. Some issues that are covered widely andpositively in one country could be ignored or covered negatively inmainstream media of other countries.
This is because societies have dominant ideologies that areformulated through institutions of power and diffused throughmainstream media outlets.
Consequently, we are subject to stereotypical media representations formulated by the dominant culture and ideology that we livein.
Repetitive and stereotypical media representations have a significant impact on how we think about ourselves and "others" even if
we do not a;ways realize or question these.
Lectures throughout the semester will combine theories from
cultural studies, media studies, and gender studies to analyze
stereotypical representations in mainstream media outlets ofJapan. Through this class, students will gain academic skills to
identify stereotypical media representations and to question orchallenge these with a critical perspectives.
【Goal】
Each class will be focused on media chosen by students andtheoretical introduction from either cultural studies, media studies
or gender studies to analyze the media.
The analysis of various media will allow class discussion on
mainstream ideas, what is over represented and what is under
represented in the media and why.
At the end of the semester, students will be equipped withenough knowledge to identify the discourse formulated by power
institutions that sustain dynamics of how minority groups
and disadvantaged groups are portrayed in mainstream media.
Although difficult to find, sharing positive representations ofminority cultures and subcultures in the media are encouraged.
【Which item of the diploma policy will be obtained by taking thisclass?】【Method(s)】Students are required to participate in class discussion and share
their views and ideas with their classmates while respecting
different views and cultures. All students are required to actively
participate in discussion throughout the semester.
General feedback will be provided at each class whereas individual
feedback on weekly homework will be provided through Google
Classroom system.
There will be two discussion sessions throughout the semester
during which students will have the opportunity to work in small
groups and discuss theories learned in class before the mid term
exam as well as the final exam.

5【Outline and objectives】
The last decades of the 20th century witnessed a great shift
in the landscape of East Asian media and popular culture.
Border-crossing visual cultural flows in conjunction with transAsian co-production among East Asian countries have not only
strengthened the imaginary bond of "Asia," but also havecultivated a wider pan-Asian identity. This course will engage
the interdisciplinary field of visual media and popular culture
studies of East Asia. In this course, students will learn about
the trans-Asian flow of Hong Kong films since the 1950s, thedissemination of Japanese popular culture during the 1970s-90s,
and the recent popularity of Korean Wave.

Students will also develop an understanding of the processes thatenabled Asian entertainers to become part of the larger Western
media flows. Students will develop a critical awareness of how
visual media and cultural globalization has engaged with the East
Asian region and how the local visual media flow has influenced theglobal.
By the end of the course, students will be able to• understand the historical development of visual media flows
within East Asia
• learn through examples of East Asian visual media flows
how culture and socio-political forces help shape hybridizedtrans-national identities• cultivate a better understanding how East Asian visual cultural
flows border cross and interact with globalization

その他属性：【Outline and objectives】
This course looks at Japanese society through the lens ofglobalization and its transnational relations with foreigners andforeign societies. On the one hand, Japan’s relative geographicalisolation as an archipelago surrounded by the sea has cultivateda unique aesthetic culture that attracts people across the world inrecent times, as well as being one of the driving forces behind its
economic development. Yet, at the same time, this could also be a
critical factor in generating a peculiar social system and norms thatsometimes generate a considerable gap with the “global standards.”
Hence, in theory, the global process would be an agency thatshapes, reshapes, and alters the social structure in both positive
and negative ways. As such, how does globalization - the closer
integration of the countries and peoples of the world, especiallyafter the 1980s - affect the change in contemporary Japanesesociety? The course will explore this question through reading anddiscussing the effect of transnationalism ‒ both inbound/importand outbound/export - on migration, work, civil society, tourism,
education, family, culture, identity, language, Olympics, among
others. The course also introduces theoretical approaches tounderstand globalization and transnationalism.

【Goal】The primary goal of this class is to gain an alternative
understanding of Japanese society that could not be seen only
observing from the perspective of the nation-state. Taking thetransnational and relational approach would then provide us withinsights into why and how Japan is changing in this contemporary
era. Students are expected to gain skills and knowledge to criticallyanalyze Japanese globalization through a comparative approachwith other countries from East Asia, North America, Europe,among other regions that you are familiar with.

【Outline and objectives】
We will draw on a "social constructionist" framework and examine
how certain social problems have been discovered, defined,
and dealt with in post-war Japan. We begin the course byproviding an overview of sociological approaches, in particular, asocial constructionist approach to social problems, and criticallyexamining Nihonjin-ron (theories of Japanese-ness) to provide
frameworks for approaching Japanese social problems. We willthen discuss specific Japanese social problems around the family,
education, youth, gender, work, and aging Japan.
The aim of this course is to take critical perspectives into
representations of Japanese social problems, particularly in the
media, through taking a constructionist approach.
【Goal】
By the end of the course, students will be able to explain the"social constructionist" framework and apply it for making senseof Japanese social problems in post-war Japan. It is expected thatstudents will develop a nuanced understanding of contemporary
Japanese society through critically examining the social problems
from sociological/ anthropological perspectives.
【Which item of the diploma policy will be obtained by taking thisclass?】【Method(s)】Classes will primarily be based on discussions rather than lectures.
It is therefore expected that students come to class having done theassigned reading and ready to discuss them. There will be somereading or thinking notes due for each class to aid students in classdiscussion and their final assignment. Every student will makea presentation or write a paper on a chosen topic. Feedback will
be given on the Learning Management System for assignments
submitted on the Learning Management System, and in class forwork done in class (e.g. presentations).

【Outline and objectives】
Japan is a nation that has undergone huge changes in the last
150 years, transforming from a feudal society ruled by warriors, toan expansionistic imperial state, and then to a modern democracywith a pacifist constitution. This course explores how issuesof militarism, pacifism, and nationalism have shaped Japanese
identity and history.
One event that took place over 70 years ago ‒ the Second WorldWar ‒ looms large over Japan’s current politics and society. This
course will explore how postwar Japan has struggled to come togrips with a war that was fought in the name of a “Greater East
Asian Co-prosperity Sphere,” yet resulted in millions of deaths
throughout Asia and left Japan’s major cities in ruins. The war
brought about years of American Occupation and the adoption of aconstitution that bans Japan from officially maintaining a militaryor waging war. Through lectures, group discussions, and student
presentations, we will gain a better understanding of how theseissues have influenced Japan’s society, its domestic politics, andits relationship with its Asian neighbors. This course is not a
traditional history of Japan’s conduct in wars. Rather, it is aninterdisciplinary examination of Japan’s war experience and its
impact on postwar Japan. This course will trace Japan’s journeyfrom a militaristic autocracy to a pacifist democracy.
【Goal】
By the end of the course students will be able to:• Demonstrate an understanding of social scientific approaches tohistorical memory, national identity, and nationalism• Express viewpoints on various perspectives of current controversies in East Asia involving the remembrance of World War II• Evaluate the importance of the pacifist and anti-war movementin postwar Japanese society & politics• Analyze the domestic and international significance of theatomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki• Integrate historical discussions into an understanding of thecurrent security situation in East Asia, and Japanese politicaldebates over re-militarization• Construct analytical essays and engage in discussions concerning major issues【Which item of the diploma policy will be obtained by taking thisclass?】【Method(s)】Class sessions will consist of lectures and discussions(in-class andvia online forum posts).
All assignments will be submitted in electronic format via the

on assignments on the Hoppii system.

Credit(s)：2 ｜ Semester：春学期授業/Spring ｜ Year：
Day/Period：金 5/Fri.5
その他属性：【Outline and objectives】
This course asks you to think about and discuss the principle ofpress freedom through its expression here in Japan. Over the 14
weeks of the course, you will delve into the Japanese free press’
sometimes troubled history and present reality, while grapplingwith questions that go to the heart of not just journalism, but
to definitions of the "public good" and the health of democraticsystems. For example: Is state control of the news media everjustified? Looking at real-world situations for context, your own
responses to that question may surprise you. Like any goodjournalist, be curious and critical.
【Goal】
Using historical and present-day case studies, you will examine
what press freedom actually means in practice, and the different
ways it can be restricted. For example, does keeping secrets
and imposing penalties for reporting them count as limiting press
freedom? You will do this by:- examining the early days of print news in Japan, and the darkdays of the descent into war;- discussing types of information control, and present-day law andattitudes to official secrecy;- questioning, through actual examples, whether there are any
ethical limits to freedom of the press and expression;- comparing coverage of the same issues in different publications;- a midterm essay and end-of-term team debate on a question
related to press freedom or freedom of speech;- and talking about how news is covered from day to day, throughclass analysis of at least one real-time news article per week (ofyour choosing).
【Which item of the diploma policy will be obtained by taking thisclass?】【Method(s)】In Class
Each class will start with a discussion on one or two articles (chosen
by you the student) from the previous week, focussing not just on
the content of the news but on how it is presented and why.
We will then move on to the topic of the day, starting the classdiscussion with points from that week’s readings and treating eachas a case study, and attempt to draw conclusions about the role andresponsibility of journalism in each situation.
This is a heavily discussion-based course (as is reflected in thegrading structure), and you will get feedback on your commentsfrom the instructor in real time. While participation is necessary,
quality of contribution is more important than volume; wellthought-out ideas are appreciated, and will be acknowledged inclass.
After Class
By the end of the Monday after each class, students will post theirpersonal thoughts on the topic discussed in the course discussion
forum on Hoppii, and comment on at least one other student’s
reflections, to keep the discussion fresh and moving forward. The
instructor will also read and comment on the students’ posts.
Final Paper and Presentation
The final project is a research paper (approx. 3,000 words)
plus presentation to the class on a major issue of journalism,
information literacy or freedom of expression. For the presentation,
the instructor will be looking at the quality of the argument, strong
evidence, and the student’s ability to answer questions on their
topic. The instructor will provide topic suggestions on request.

Q&A for the term paper【Work to be done outside of class (preparation, etc.)】
This course is given in English. No advanced skills in Japanese
language are required. However, students may be interested ingetting additional information by searching for Japanese articles.
Students, who may need occasional help in Japanese language, areencouraged to take advantage of web-based translation services
such as Google as your self-help tool. They are not perfect but often
useful.
Students are encouraged to make a good use of Hosei’s course management system and additional web-based tools to share findings
and exchange ideas as part of their individual learning activities aswell as to gain efficiency while working on assignments. No priorknowledge is required for getting started.
The average study time outside of class per week would be roughly
4 hours.

Submitted term paper will be evaluated based upon its 1) format,2) logical development, 3) relevance, 4) quality of references and5) originality. By "relevance" your work should be an attempt tosomehow characterize contemporary Japan with focused analysis
on The Internet and network communications.
【Changes following student comments】
I suggest students take enough time to enable themselves to signon the campus network and find the "Hoppii" student portal before
attending the class.
I have revised the schedule and made clear that lecture subjects
and group work themes are on separate horizons for betterclassroom management. Please note that our group work themes
are easy enough requiring no prior knowledge of subjects coveredin the class. However, please don’t miss out the possible learning
outcome of what seemingly easy everyday topics could bring out.
You learn a lot through group activities by exchanging and sharing
your ideas and experience with your class mates, which turned out
effective in the past years.
I would also emphasize the value of reading assignment suggested
in the class to better prepared for group activities.
【Equipment student needs to prepare】
You don’t have to be technology-savvy, but we use Internet a lot in
the classroom as well as at home.
Each enrolled student should bring his/her own laptop
PC(*) or tablet with WiFi connectivity for individualclassroom use. Smart phones are not allowed as a classroom
tool due to their limited functionality. The instructor would
ask you to shut down smart phones to avoid WiFi gets tied up with
non-classroom use.
We will make use of various on-line resources, some of which are
only available for and limited to campus use. So please make surethat you have access to Hosei campus network with your student
ID before attending the first week class.
(*)Windows laptop PCs are available at the Hosei University
Ichigaya Computing and Networking Center for on-campus use.

In the "Hospitality in Practice" session, a role play was
included to learn how to handle complaints as part of
the hospitality communication. However, it seemed that
the Japanese-style procedure did not fit for many of theinternational students. Therefore, in the next year’s program, I
would like to incorporate elements of complaint handling froma global perspective while encouraging students to understandthe characteristics of Japanese communication styles.

The purpose of this course is to develop an understanding of
the history of pre-modern Japan, a period usually understood as
ranging from the Paleolithic age to the end of the Edo period(1603-1868). We will give attention to political, economic, social,environment, and cultural developments, as well as reflect onhistory as a discipline. To gain such an understanding, we will
read and discuss primary and secondary sources. Through ourreadings and discussion, we will consider questions such as: Why
study history? How is history written? What are the originsof the Japanese people? What are distinctive Japanese cultural
practices and rituals? How and why did they develop? Who were
the samurai? Why did the Tokugawa shogunate enact a seclusion
policy? How did Edo (Tokyo) develop into a major city?
【Goal】
1. Develop an understanding of the political, economic, social, andcultural dimensions of the history of pre-modern Japan.
2. Practice writing reflective and thoughtful essays on historical
topics.
3. Engage in serious thinking and discussion about historical topics
and history itself.
【Which item of the diploma policy will be obtained by taking thisclass?】【Method(s)】In this course, there will be a (10-20 pages) reading assignment
every week, and the class will be based on the reading assignments.
In other words, at the beginning of class, we review the previous
class and give/share the feedback on the worksheets. Then I will
explain the readings and we have a discussion about them.
In the second half of the course, there is a plan to have the students
do active learning several times.

910【Outline and objectives】
From an external view, Japan is often seen as a country withobedient citizens that lack aggressive social movements and a"strong" civil society. Conversely, in a positive sense, Japan is
imagined as a society in harmony and conformity without thetumultuous political disorder. Yet, in fact, in various critical
moments in its history, the country has experienced large-scaleand vehement uprisings that had impacted the transformation ofsociety and politics one way or the other. This course will provide
an overview of Japanese social movements from the post-war
period until the current. The course introduces rich narrativesof Japanese movements, particularly in three critical time phases;
the mass uprisings in the 1960s, the new social movementsin the 1980s to 2000s, and contemporary movements after the
3.11 triple disaster in 2011. It also covers social movementswith different aims and characteristics, from democratization,
youth movements, peace, terrorism, feminism and sexuality,
racial minority politics to environmental movements. By looking
historically and comparatively of the Japanese social movements,
the course will provide profound knowledge and critical perspectivein understanding the development and the characteristics ofJapanese society and its social structure.
【Goal】
By the end of this course, students will be able to critically analyze
the unique characteristics of Japanese social movements with somecomparative insights with social movements in America, Europe,Asia, or other areas that you are familiar with. The course alsooffers an alternative perspective on post-war and contemporary
Japan, which may differ significantly from the economic or politicalresearch focusing on government authorities, large corporations,and powerful elites.
【Which item of the diploma policy will be obtained by taking thisclass?】【Method(s)】The course follows a mixed lecture-seminar format, combining
short lectures, discussions, and group work designed for ESOP
students at Hosei. In the class, followed by the instructor’s lecture,
participants are expected to discuss the topics through a criticalreading of the materials. There will be a group project to work on.
Each group will make a short presentation on the final week(s) of
the class, and students will write a final assignment individuallybased on the findings from the group work.
The instructor will provide feedback on the presentations during
the class. Students can also access the instructor during officehours (prior appointment needed).

This course focusses on practical and applied aspects of marketingand innovation. Students will explore major concepts in marketing applying methods and frameworks utilized by marketing
practitioners. As well, we examine Japan through the marketing
lens: how is marketing different, Japan’s impact on the marketingoutside Japan, and how foreign firms access and appeal to theJapanese marketplace.
This course uses several case studies requiring participation anddiscussion. A mixture of Ivey Business School Cases, selected
articles and practical experiential interactions is used in an effort
to increase student awareness of real-world marketing concepts
and issues, encourage creative and critical thinking and decision
making.
【Goal】
On successful completion of this course a student should be able to:
1. Demonstrate an understanding of a range of contemporary
marketing issues, theories, practices and models relating broadly
and to the Japanese market;
2. Evaluate and critique contemporary marketing practices andunderstand the best methods of implementation to maximize
business performance;
3. Demonstrate proficiency in presenting, analyzing, discussing,evaluating and making decisions regarding contemporary marketing initiatives within an organization;

methods. Group collaboration and discussion provide opportunity
for communicating and justifying one’s viewpoint.
An array of case studies will be used through out. Reading (cases

【Changes following student comments】
Some case studies were revised or replaced; the order of course
topics and the order of cases was changed due to student feedback.
It was really helpful - we talked it out in the final session of Spring
2022
The Suntory case was moved toward the end - it is too complex tostart with and the Dominos case was added as students suggested
examining (more) foreign brands in Japan. the Victorinox casewas removed. it was good for product line expansion but was not"Japanese" enough - felt out of place.
【Equipment student needs to prepare】
A computer or mobile device capable of running Zoom. - in the eventthat classes are required move online.

Subtitle：Read Between the Lines: Ethics and Journalism inJapanCredit(s)：2 ｜ Semester：秋学期授業/Fall ｜ Year：
Day/Period：金 5/Fri.5
その他属性：【Outline and objectives】
News plays a significant role in forming what we all think we know
about the world. Through the lens of print news here in Japan, This
course asks students to question and discuss the ethics of reporting,tackling issues including anonymous sourcing, privacy vs. public
interest, and cozying up to information sources. Hopefully, you will
never look at news articles the same way again.
NOTE: You may enroll in this course without having taken
Journalism in Japan I.
【Goal】To achieve the above, you will explore the ins and outs of news
reporting by:- exploring how print news media operates in Japan, especially the
big national dailies;- learning the basics of writing articles and penning a few of yourown, from a simple crime story to a major news feature;- looking at real-world examples from both the past and more recent
times, and discussing ethical problems and solutions for each casewith classmates and the instructor;- and choosing real-time news stories to dissect in class, asking thebasic but important questions: What happened? And is it news?
【Which item of the diploma policy will be obtained by taking thisclass?】【Method(s)】In Class
Each class will start with a discussion on one or two articles (chosen
by you the student) from the previous week, focussing not just on
the content of the news but on how it is presented and why.
We will then move on to the topic of the day, starting the classdiscussion with points from that week’s readings and treating eachas a case study, and attempt to draw conclusions about what itmeans to behave as an ethical journalist, editor or publication ineach situation.
This is a heavily discussion-based course (as is reflected in thegrading structure), and you will get feedback on your commentsfrom the instructor in real time. While participation is necessary,
quality of contribution is more important than volume; wellthought-out ideas are appreciated, and will be acknowledged inclass.
ArticlesThe bulk of the written work for this course is made up of threenews articles the students will have to write based on provided
information and, for the last two, their own research. The articles
will rise in complexity from a basic news report to a news feature
on a major social issue. The instructor will be looking for structure,efficient presentation of information, and adherence to newswriting
ethics such as source accreditation.
Other Written Work
The instructor will provide feedback on written work in the form ofextensive comments and constructive criticism, as well as a number
grade (where applicable).

Contents【Work to be done outside of class (preparation, etc.)】
This course is given in English. No advanced skills in Japanese
language are required. However, students may be interested ingetting additional information by searching for Japanese articles.
Students, who may need occasional help in Japanese language, areencouraged to take advantage of web-based translation services
such as Google as your self-help tool. They are not perfect but often
useful.
Students are encouraged to make a good use of Hosei’s course management system and additional web-based tools to share findings
and exchange ideas as part of their individual learning activities aswell as to gain efficiency while working on assignments. No priorknowledge is required for getting started.
The average study time outside of class per week would be roughly
4 hours.

We often encountered technical problems in accessing campus
network via WiFi in 2016, for which I have been working on
improving the availability and in considering alternative means foraccessibility.
We did not enjoy full benefit of group learning in 2016 in its earlyattempt, not seeing enough collaboration among Japanese students
and international students. To improve classroom management, I
have revised the schedule and made clear that lecture subjects andgroup work themes are on separate horizons. Please note that ourgroup work themes are easy enough requiring no prior knowledgeof subjects covered in the class. However, please don’t miss out
the possible learning outcome of what seemingly easy everyday
topics could bring out. You learn a lot through group activities byexchanging and sharing your ideas and experience with your classmates, which turned out effective in the 2017 course.
I would also emphasize the value of reading assignment suggested
in the class to better prepared for group activities, for which I do
not feel I was most successful in the 2018 class.
In the academic year of 2019, group work activities did not
sufficiently find relevance in the classroom discussions comparedto the previous years. We should be able to improve on thisproblem with a better organization through a more elaborated
review process for 2020.
【Equipment student needs to prepare】
You don’t have to be technology-savvy, but we use Internet a lot in
the classroom as well as at home.
Each enrolled student should bring his/her own laptop
PC(*) or tablet with WiFi connectivity for individualclassroom use. Smart phones are not allowed as a classroom
tool due to their limited functionality. The instructor would
ask you to shut down smart phones to avoid WiFi gets tied up with
non-classroom use.
We will make use of various on-line resources, some of which are
only available for and limited to campus use. So please make surethat you have access to Hosei campus network with your student
ID before attending the first week class.
(*)Windows laptop PCs are available at the Campus Computing
Center for on-campus use.
【Others】
We will use web-based tools such as e-Portfolio and "h’etudes"
course management system as our communication vehicle.

【Textbooks】
Reading materials will be made available on-line.
【References】
Reading materials will be made available on-line.
For ICT policy making of Japan, look for English pages of Ministryof Internal Affairs and Communications:

To retrieve English translations of Japanese laws, use the following
service by Japanese government:

Many useful articles and figures are available from archived"Internet White Paper" since 1996 till 2016, although you need to
grab Japanese text and get help from crude translation services
such as Google:

Class participation with reaction paper: 20%
Review quiz: 20%
Homework: 30%
Term paper: 30%
Submitted term paper will be evaluated based upon its 1) format,2) logical development, 3) relevance, 4) quality of references and5) originality. By "relevance" your work should be an attempt tosomehow characterize contemporary Japan with focused analysis
on The Internet and network communications.
【Changes following student comments】
I suggest students take enough time to enable themselves to signon the campus network and registered on the Hosei Learning
Management System before attending the class.
