課程概述

Course Description:
With its long history of development, Japanese anime and manga have grown tremendously in both depth and width. Apart from the works based on mainstream fashion and market values, there are works with significant border-crossing features, even challenging the existing categories (as database consumption is still dominating the industry of popular culture). This course aims to investigate works of Japanese manga and anime that seek to cross the borders of culture, nationality, gender, and genre. With a focus on media mix, cross-dressing, and LGBTQ, the selection of works will be analysed and discussed in the backdrop of recent anime and manga studies, so as to find out their meaning and significance.

課程目標

Course Objectives:
This course is designed to introduce the fundamental concepts and scholarship of Japanese animations and comics, with a purpose to develop students’ sensitivity to and critical assessment of the cross-cultural phenomenon of globalisation. It is hoped that students who take this course will learn to distill profound cultural issues from Japanimation and similar popular visual texts, as well as a deeper understanding of the latest research trend in this field.

課程要求

Requirements:
Students are required to finish the assigned readings prior to the class. They also have to present at least once in class on the assigned readings (PPT slides or handouts required). A 3500-word course word essay is required as a final report in the end of the semester.
