From the wide-eyed children of ani me to the crazy street fashions of Harajuku~ images of kids and teens in Japanese popular culture are now distributed and consumed around the world. How then are those young audiences depicted and addressed within Japanese popular culture? What aspects of childhood or teen irlentity are repeated across generations?

In addition to analyzing representations of children and teens, students will also gain fatniliarity with Japanese film history and genres, and develop the critical vocabulary of film analysis.
Fihns will include I Was Born But, c-:razed Fruit, A c-:ruel Story qf Youth, Battle Royale, All About Lily C-:hou C.... hou. Nobody Kno1-vs, Grave qfthe Fireflies, and Akira.

Your ongoing support for the Coalition of Immokalee Workers (CIW) led to Taco BelL signing on to be the first in the restaurant/supermarket industry to lend support to the CIW and help improve low wages and poor worldng conditions for Florida's tomato farm workers. By paying apenny more per pound for Florida-grown tomatoes, and purchasing tomatoes from farmers who pass this penny on directly to Florida's tomato farm workers, the wages and way of life for these dedicated workers will dramatically improve. Taco Bell is also joining the CIW in asldng for industry-wide support of these efforts since we're actually the smallest purchaser of Florida tomatoes among all the m~or companies, purchasing 10 million pounds in 2004 for less than 1% of the state's total tomato production. Additionally, Taco Bell has modified its Supplier Code of Conduct and is assisting the CIW in developing legislative strategy to create new laws that will benefit all Florida tomato farm workers and farms.
