授業の概要 Course Overview
Misson Statementとの関係性 / Connection to our Mission Statement
授業の目的（意義） / Importance of this course
This course intends to give students an understanding of how European and American views of Japan have changed through history, and how many of the same views still resonate today. It introduces students to Western perspectives of Japan through key globalized concepts and representations. These ideas deriving from globally circulated stereotypes will be studied in relation to their broader historical and ideological contexts. By the end of the course the students will gain a deeper appreciation of the dynamics and rich history of interactions between Japan and the West.

Through a multi-disciplinary approach, the course introduces students to methods which will help them uncover the processes and ideologies behind the formation of stereotypes about Japan and to understand their multi-faceted aspects. This aims primarily to provoke students to think critically about issues of cross-cultural communication, and to help them seek a firm grasp of the complex political and epistemological barriers to ethical and non-coercive cross-cultural communication.
