East Asian Film and Media Studies 141. Japanese Language and Visual Media (Bridge Course)
| ||
| This is a bridge course designed around Japanese visual media with the dual goal of introducing methods and concepts current in the discipline of film studies while building increased proficiency in the Japanese language, especially in aural comprehension. The course will be conducted in Japanese so far as is practical, targeting students who have completed at least five semesters of Japanese language study. It seeks to build on student interest in genres of film with which they are familiar, deepening their critical understanding of the medium of film while introducing them to the analysis of visual media with which they are likely to be less familiar, either in terms of content or temporal period. | |
