授業概要 Culture is an idea, a concept, or a set of assumptions, or it is what a group of people make, or it means artistic creations, or it is what shapes and reflects a set of values. Culture, in other words, means many things to many people. In this course we will examine and analyze a variety of ways in which culture can be defined, considered, valued, and otherwise used as a way of understanding human life. Culture, therefore, is not a simple, straightforward thing. By the end of the course, it is hoped that students will never use or hear the word ‘culture’ without stopping to think about how the term is being used, and why.
授業のねらい・到達目標 The overall aim of this course is to broaden and deepen our understanding of culture. Students who successfully compete the course will be able to, in English: offer various definitions of culture; understand how the meaning of culture has changed over time and in different places; analyze how culture is made or understood; and present their own responses to our discussions of culture in short presentations and papers.

授業の形式 ゼミ
授業の方法 In the Spring semester, students will be asked to do weekly reading and writing assignments, with periodic roundtable discussions of the readings, and a final presentation. Written assignments include occasional 1-page responses and a final essay. Students are required to do the readings and complete the homework assignments in order to prepare for class. Students are expected to actively participate in class, as the teacher will ask many questions, and there will be group discussions requiring students to express their ideas. Perfect English is not required! Students who try their best, and commit themselves to active participation, will get the most out of this class. Feedback will be provided in class.
