| 授業の目的・方法 ／Course Objectives and method |
This course analyzes manga (Japanese comics) and anime (Japanese animation), in order to consider the relationship between humans and technology: how technology influences the human body and life; how the definition of “human” has been changing because of technology; and what kinds of problems are presented or hidden in the visual context. The course also incorporates a range of genres of manga and anime that target a variety of audiences, and for each text we consider the question of who consumes it and why. We will examine the distinctive media characteristics of manga and of anime, and their intermedial connections and contexts. We will practice analyzing manga and anime texts not simply as narratives but also as visual media. |

| 事前学修・事後学修 ／Preparation and review class |
Required Readings: Students are expected to come to each class having already read all the required readings and prepared to discuss them. The purpose of the reading assignments is to supplement and/or reinforce ideas and information covered in the lectures, and to prepare students to participate in discussion. Required readings include both primary materials (manga) and secondary materials (critical/analytical articles about manga, anime, or other relevant topics). When reading required manga excerpts or viewing anime clips, remember to think about them analytically—don't just read for pleasure (though I do hope you enjoy them). Recommended Readings: Recommended readings are usually the critical works that provide the ideas, concepts, and arguments discussed in the in-class lecture. Reading them before class will allow you to participate fully in the discussion. Required Readings and Recommended Readings—both manga and critical works—will be posted on manaba. |

A-range (90-100%): Exceptional work that engages deeply with the assignment, offering original and well-supported arguments. It excels in content, format, style, and organization. B-range (80-89.99%): Meets requirements with good engagement, but analysis is limited. Shows originality, but could be more persuasive. Contains occasional errors. C-range (70-79.99%): Fulfills basics but lacks depth. Argument may be vague or overly reliant on class materials. Writing issues affect clarity. D-range (60-69.99%): Barely meets requirements with minimal effort. Consistent problems in argumentation, analysis, and writing. F (below 60%): Fails due to missed exams, lack of effort, or misconduct. Plagiarism results in automatic failure. |
||
| 履修上の注意事項 ／Remarks |
All of the lectures, discussions, and assignments will be in English only. The midterm exam will be an in-class manga analysis of an excerpt from a manga previously covered in class. The in-class final exam will be during the last regular class in week 15. There will be no alternate or make-up exams without a doctor's note/medical receipt, so if you miss an exam, you will get zero points for that exam. If you miss 6 classes or more, you cannot take the final exam. However, if you provide the instructor with your doctor's note, the relevant absence will be excused. |
