| Description: | REL 196-01 = ASI 196-01 = HUM 196-01: Religion and Literature: "Old Pond--Frog Jumps In": Religion in Japanese Literature. "Old pond--frog jumps in--sound of water." So runs the famous haiku by Basho. Is it religious? For the Japanese, yes. In Japan religion and art are arguably the same thing. In this course we'll ask how and why. We'll study Japanese ideas about art and religion (e.g. emptiness, solitude, "sublime beauty"), and how they appear in Japanese literature. We'll read selections from Japanese poetry (including haiku), No drama, novels both classic and modern (e.g. The Tale of Genji, Kawabata), and some short stories.
