Semester Full Year Description In 1940 Japan was a vibrant, modernising power in the world replete with possibilities embedded in its industrial technology, social organisation and global intellectual engagement. Five years later, with its cities ruined, its economy wrecked, its population exhausted, hungry and despairing, Japan was defeated. Its subsequent rise to become an economic superpower is legendary. However, Japan is haunted by ‘contested war memories’ and by the ghosts of the countless millions of myriad nationalities left dead, maimed, displaced or psychologically scarred in the wake of war inflicted upon Asia by a Japanese leadership bent on fighting to the bitter end. This module examines the reasons for Japan’s slide into war, the Japanese people’s experience of war and its on-going legacy in Asia and Japan through a variety of media including secondary literature, documentary evidence, witness testimony, film and popular culture including animated film (anime). Students are warned that some of this material contains graphic and distressing imagery and description. There are 8 major themes: At the crossroads: The 1930s On the brink 1940-1. Experiencing war, defeat and occupation. The reckoning: Criminals, victims, collaborators and resisters. Reform and reconstruction. Hiroshima and Nagasaki in history, memory and popular culture. Hirohito and war responsibility. Contested memories: Textbooks, the ‘Nanking Massacre’ and Comfort Women. Method and frequency of class: ActivityNo. of Duration Sessions Seminar 1 per wk. 2hr0min Tutorial 1 per wk. 1hr0min Introductory lectures will be held in the first two weeks and three seminars in the year will be dedicated to showing and discussing film and anime.
