LIT 096A - Gender and Sexuality in Japanese Popular Culture
This course engages with a variety of Japanese popular media, including manga, anime, film, theater, TV drama, and literature, with a particular focus on how gender, sexuality, and LGBTQ+ figures are historically situated in Japanese culture and society. We will learn about the social and cultural currents within Japanese modernity that gave rise to specific formations of gender and sexuality, and situate these works within this broader historical field.
