?In this course we will analyze texts that are written about Japan. The course will incorporate a range of genres and time periods, and will cover texts produced both domestically and internationally. For each text we will consider the questions of how the texts present ?Japan,? who the intended audience is, and how these two factors offer insight into the motives and worldview of the people who wrote them. We will learn about the distinctive rhetorical trends that have emerged over time in writings about Japan, and the social connections and contexts that led to them. We will practice analyzing these texts not simply as unbiased accounts, but as texts that are written to do something in the way it presents Japan to the reader.
