  • Fashion in Japan: Art and History of the Kimono and Western Dress Culture in Japanese Arts, Design and Aesthetics Section 1
    Semester: SPRING 2020 Fashion in Japan: Art and History of the Kimono and Western Dress Culture in Japanese Arts, Design and Aesthetics Section 1 Instructor/Title DRUET Lucile 時限 Office/Building 902 / Main Building (Nakamiya Campus) 【Course Outline / Description】 From the origins of kimono to the anti-fashion design of Rei Kawakubo, this course will be exploring the parallel routes of traditional Japanese clothing (和服・wafuku) and Western fashion (洋服・yōfuku) in Japan. From showing social ranking to expressing one’s identity, analyzing clothing in Japan will be seen as an encompassing dynamic, coming from the need of covering one's body to an artistic and performative statement about one’s status, gender, Japanese culture, aesthetics, silhouettes and body consciousness. Employing a variety of materials (books, visual artworks, movies, magazines, illustrations etc.) this course will examine how kimono and Western fashion are embedded in Japanese society, history, popular culture and visual arts and how it connects with people’s sartorial habits, inside and outside the country. Section 2 【Course Objectives/Goals/Learning Outcomes】 Through an overview of the characteristics and history of kimono and western fashion in Japan, this course will help the students understand the aesthetic dimensions of clothing and fashion. With a particular focus on weaving, dyeing and tailoring techniques as well as artists, designers, performers, illustrators and authors’ works, the students will be able to grasp how creators are using kimono and western clothes for specific effects. The students will be invited to think about clothing as an intersection between tradition and modernity that generates cultural, philosophical and poetic communication.

Alston In Nest of Gentry (published in 1858) Turgenev gives us a scene set in the 1830s. Nicholas I, Autocrat of all the Russias, has been on the throne for a decade. Fedia Lavretsky, a student at the University of Moscow, is spending an evening in the seedy drawing room of General Korobin. The General's fortunes are in decline. His one marketable possession is his daughter, Varvara Pavlovna. Her beauty has been polished in an Insttute for Young Ladies. She can talk intelligently about the theater, and at a slack moment in the coversation, she sits at the piano and plays the latest Western music, Chopin!. A century later, a continent away, Tanizaki gives us a scene from Japan. The god-emperor Hirohito has been on the throne for a decade. The Makioka family is in decline. The family has brought its one marketable object, Yukiko, to an o-miai in Osaka's Oriental Hotel for preview by a prospective husband. The conversation turns to modern education. Both families at the table are amazed at the clever, young, up-to-date Japanese wives whose scientific training enables them at one and the same time to serve tea to a guest, feed the baby, and 2 listen on the radio to Chopin • From Nicholas I to Hirohito, no two nations have taken their "Chopin", their Western education, more seriously than the Russians and the Japanese.

  • Editor's Note Erdal Küçükyalçın
    Editor’s Note Erdal Küçükyalçın Dear Readers, Dark days for humanity are lingering. Everyday we receive disheart- ening news from all corners of the world. We all try to restrict our daily social mobility and keep our distance from others, including our closest relatives and friends. Our aim is not only to protect ourselves but also to prevent harming others. This is an unprecedented, unique phenomenon that shows how fragile and weak we humans are. In addition to quarantine measures, restric- tions on travel and transportation, bans on trade, I believe it is time to start thinking about long-term repercussions of this pandemic. This is a huge blow on global economy and it is more than obvious that band-aid financial support policies will soon prove not be enough to recover from this global-scale crisis. Reconsidering the distribution of wealth among nations and within nations will hopefully be the main issue in the near fu- ture. The present economic model is simply not sustainable anymore. We need to make empathy, solidarity and ethics, the common denominator of all future systems we will build in the post-corona era. Will humanity take its lessons from this warning by mother-nature? We will live and see… With these in mind, we are ready to share the third issue of Global Perspectives on Japan with you. We have collected a number of interesting articles under the title “Japanese Popular Culture and Literature”. The first article is “On the Question of Prince Abdulkerim Effendi’s -Be coming the Emperor of Turkestan with Japan’s Support” by Prof.

  • Servant Characters in Twentieth Century Japanese Literature
    Serving Stories: Servant Characters in Twentieth Century Japanese Literature by Kristin Leigh Sivak A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of East Asian Studies University of Toronto © Copyright by Kristin Leigh Sivak 2020 Serving Stories: Servant Characters in Twentieth Century Japanese Literature Kristin Leigh Sivak Doctor of Philosophy Department of East Asian Studies University of Toronto 2020 Abstract While the servants who appear in twentieth-century Japanese literature are often minor characters, they are far from insignificant. Rather, these servant characters in fact play a vital role in the narrative discourse seemingly out of proportion with the attention that their class, gender, and employment status—as well as a surface reading of the story—might lead us to expect. By exploring some of the different kinds of structural ‘work’ they do, then, as well as the ways in which their very literary nature grants them a degree of authority beyond that of their real-life corollaries, this dissertation aims to construct a narrative about a type of character whose impact on literary fiction well exceeds the bounds of the textual space they occupy. With this in mind, I take up an examination of servant characters in the works of three canonical authors who themselves experienced life with servants, Natsume Sōseki (1867-1916), Tanizaki Jun’ichirō (1886-1965), and Mishima Yukio (1925-1970). An analysis of servant characters offers an opportunity to explore issues of representation, power, and authority in modern Japanese fiction. From the ethical question of how to acknowledge those we cannot speak for, to examining the connections between domestic spaces and literary spaces, to uncovering the latent power of traditionally undervalued forms of labor, ii this dissertation proposes a narratological examination of the role of servants in twentieth- century Japanese fiction as a means for rethinking questions of representation and the plurality of perspectives in literature.
