About this course
This course critically examines Japanese popular culture such as popular music (J-pop), pop art, film, manga (Japanese comics), anime, TV shows, and fan/participatory activities. We will explore what these texts show us about the changing nature of Japanese society and culture in local, national and global contexts, from a number of different interdisciplinary and theoretical perspectives. (Students will receive credit for AAS 4906, CMP 4906, or JPS 4906. These courses may substitute for each other in the F-replacement policy).The course may be used as an elective within the Asian and Asian and Asian American Studies minor, not as the capstone course.
