| Description: | 2nd Half-Semester course. REL-196-01=ASI-196-01=HUM-196-01 "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) drama, a classic novel (The Tale of Genji), and some short stories by Murakami and Kawabata. |
