Literature of Japan

授業テーマ	日本の古典文学における時空間の扱い方について学ぶ Time and Space in Classical Japanese Literature In the field of classical Japanese literature, a unique way of utilizing time and space is exemplified in the literary text of Noh theatre and in Zeami’s treatises. This will be explored extensively and its application in modern context analyzed.
授業のねらい・到達目標	Objective: At the end of the courses, the students shall be able: 1. to identify the unique function of time and space in Noh theatre. 2. to discuss how contemporary writers adapted Noh’s classical use of time and space 3. to write a creative work, either a short story or a modern Noh play based on the Noh theatre’s classical interpretation of time and space.
授業の方法	This class shall start with an introduction of the classical Japanese literature of Noh. Zeami’s treatises and his two plays, 'Kantan' and 'Tomonaga' will be read and discussed extensively in relation to its birth and historical development, Some of the modern plays which adapted the concept of time and space in the classical Noh world (i.e. such as that of Yukio Mishima’s) will be read, their philosophical content, literary style explored and its application in modern context analyzed.
