Course Description

This course explores literary representations of childhood in modern Japan, expanding into how manga, anime, and film have also dealt with the topos. Through literary and visual texts that problematize spaces, memories, ideals, rights, and propagandic power of childhood, students will think through and discuss broader issues of age, gender, identity politics, generational trauma, history of social structures, and the future of human society.
