Notes: An extra media fee of 4,400 yen is required. Topical Section Description: This course will explore how love and suffering have been portrayed in films from Japan, South Korea, and Chinese-speaking countries. We will start by examining major theories of melodrama that have been developed in the West, especially in relation to the psychoanalytic concepts of repression, hysteria, trauma, and fantasy. We will then consider how Asian films expand and challenge Western definitions of melodrama. We will examine traditional, revisionist, and subversive uses of melodrama, focusing on cinematic style and on the representation of family relationships, gender, sexuality, romantic love, and the social impact of accelerated modernization. We will also consider ways of deepening emotional responses to films through critical writing. Films to be screened will be drawn from the 1930s to the present and from works by Mizoguchi Kenji, Naruse Mikio, Kim Ki-young, Yu Hyun-mok, Shin Sang-ok, Fei Mu, Xie Jin, Chen Kaige, Zhang Yimou, Stanley Kwan, Wong Kar-wai, Edward Yang, and other directors.
