A BriefIntroduction to JapanInstructor: Thomas Turner4 sessions: Mondays, Sept. 24, Oct. 1, 8, 1510:00 – 11:30 a.m.University Center Building (UCB) 265This course will cover the people, culture, politics and economyof Japan, from earliest times to the present. We’ll discuss Japan’sorigins, and how the mythology of those origins continuesto influence Japan to this day, and Japan’s history and itsinteractions with “the West.” We’ll also look at how sociologicalinfluences were imported and exported and how those influencesaffected both Japan as a nation and the world; Japanese socialnorms; “Japan, Inc.” and how Japan grew to dominate portions ofthe technological era. We’ll cover how Japanese popular culturehas become a global phenomenon, influencing our movies, musicand world view. It goes without saying that any course purportingto cover 3,000 years of history within a four-week period is goingto result in some rather broad brush strokes and will, as a result,omit detail here and there. We will find a balance of detail andinformation to make Japan’s Greatest Hits an interesting journey. Fast! Easy!
