| ASST 4696 - Modern Japan: Empire, War, Society |
|
Was early modern Japan (1600-1867) static or dynamic? Do the roots of Japan's modern achievements (1868-1945) lie in her early modern culture? What happened to Japan after the 1868 Meiji Restoration, and why? Was modernity a blessing or a curse? We'll find answers to questions like these as we survey Japanese society, culture, and events and trends at home and abroad from the Tokugawa shogunate to the Pacific War. Assignments focus on writing a comparative review. Note: This course is cross-listed with History 4697. Students may only receive credit once for these courses: ASST 4696 or HIST 4697. Credit Hours: 3.000 Levels: Graduate, NonDegree Continuing Undergrad, Undergraduate Schedule Types: Base Lecture Division: Undergraduate Department: CLA:Asian Studies Course Attributes: Writing Intensive |
