LIT 096A - Gender and Sexuality in Manga, Anime, and Japanese Popular Culture
This course examines the ways in which Japanese manga and anime represent various issues in Japan’s history and society. Students will analyze, examine, and discuss how major and minor works of manga and anime (and some live-action films) showcase Japanese views of gender, sexuality, social minorities, war, and national identity; and how these representations have been consumed and adopted by a global audience. This course also examines how these cultural practices conform to or challenge socially-given identity practices.
