他学部公開：グローバル：成績優秀：実務教員：
【Outline and objectives】Japan is a nation that has undergone huge changes in the last 150years, transforming from a feudal society ruled by warriors, to anexpansionistic imperial state, and then to a modern democracy witha paciﬁst constitution. This course explores how issues of militarism,paciﬁsm, and nationalism have shaped Japanese identity and history.One event that took place over 70 years ago ‒the Second World War‒ looms large over Japan’s current politics and society. This course willexplore how postwar Japan has struggled to come to grips with a warthat was fought in the name of a “Greater East Asian Co-prosperitySphere,” yet resulted in millions of deaths throughout Asia and leftJapan’s major cities in ruins. The war brought about years of AmericanOccupation and the adoption of a constitution that bans Japan fromofﬁcially maintaining a military or waging war.Through lectures,group discussions, and student presentations, we will gain a betterunderstanding of how these issues have inﬂuenced Japan’s society, itsdomestic politics, and its relationship with its Asian neighbors. Thiscourse is not a traditional history of Japan’s conduct in wars. Rather,it is an interdisciplinary examination of Japan’s war experience and itsimpact on postwar Japan. This course will trace Japan’s journey from amilitaristic autocracy to a paciﬁst democracy.
【Goal】By the end of the course students will be able to:•Demonstrate an understanding of social scientiﬁc approaches tohistorical memory, national identity, and nationalism•Express viewpoints on various perspectives of current controversiesin East Asia involving the remembrance of World War II•Evaluate the importance of the paciﬁst and anti-war movement inpostwar Japanese society & politics•Analyze the domestic and international signiﬁcance of the atomicbombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki•Integrate historical discussions into an understanding of the currentsecurity situation in East Asia, and Japanese political debates over re-militarization•Construct analytical essays and engage in discussions concerningmajor issues*Note : This course will be conducted fully online.

他学部公開：グローバル：成績優秀：実務教員：
【Outline and objectives】This course looks at Japanese society through the lens ofglobalization and its transnational relations with foreignersand foreign societies.On the one hand, Japan’s relativegeographical isolation as an archipelago that is surrounded bythe sea has cultivated a unique aesthetic culture that attractspeople across the world in recent times, as well as being oneof the driving forces behind its economic development. Yet atthe same time, this could also be a critical factor in generatinga peculiar social system and norms that sometimes generatea considerable gap with the “global standards.”Hence, intheory, the global process would be an agency that shape,reshape and alter the social structure in both positive andnegative ways.As such, how does globalization - the closerintegration of the countries and peoples of the world, especiallyafter the 1980s - affect the change in contemporary Japanesesociety?The course will explore this question throughreading and discussing the effect of transnationalism ‒bothinbound/import and outbound/export - on migration, work, civilsociety, tourism, education, family, culture, identity, language,Olympics among others. The course also introduces theoreticalapproaches to understand globalization and transnationalism. 
【Goal】The primary goal of this class is to gain an alternativeunderstanding of Japanese society that could not be seen onlyobserving from the perspective of the nation-state.Takingthe transnational and relational approach would then provideus with insights to understand the why and how, as wellas in what way Japan is changing in this contemporary era.Students are expected to gain skills and insights to criticallyanalyze Japanese globalization through comparative approachwith other countries from East Asian, North America, Europeamong other regions that you are familiar with.*Note : This course will be conducted fully online.
【Which item of the diploma policy will be obtained by taking thisclass?】
【Method(s)】The course follows a mixed lecture-seminar format, combiningformal presentations, short lectures, and group discussionsdesigned for ESOP students at Hosei.Each student isrequired to make a presentation on assigned readings duringthe semester.In the class, followed by the presentation,participants are expected to discuss the topics through criticalreadings of the materials.

【Outline and objectives】When you follow media outlets from different countries, you willnotice that very similar events or concepts can be elaborated uponin very different ways.Some issues are covered more widelywhereas some do not even make it to mainstream media outlets.Have you heard of "Las Tesis"? Do you know "Greta Thunberg"?Do you know the "#metoo" movement? What about the "#kutoo"campaign? How much do you know about the COVID-19 situationaround the world?Countries have dominant ideologies that are formulated throughinstitutions of power and diffused through mainstream media.Consequently, we are subject to stereotypical media representa-tions formulated by the dominant culture and ideology that we livein. This determines what we are informed about and in which way.This class is designed for students to have media literacy throughthe analysis of identity formation linked to race, ethnicity, andgender in Japan.Repetitive and stereotypical media representations have a signif-icant impact on how we think about different events, minoritygroups or subcultures. Lectures will combine theories from culturalstudies, media studies and gender studies to analyze stereotypicalrepresentations in mainstream media outlets in Japan.Through this class, students will gain academic skills to identifythese stereotypical media representations and to examine thesefrom a critical perspective.
【Goal】Each class will start with a theoretical introduction from eithercultural studies, media studies or gender, followed by discussionon the media chosen by students.The analysis of media will allow students to understand dynamicsof media representations in Japan and to differentiate betweenmainstream ideology versus minorities and subcultures.At the end of the semester, students will be equipped withenough knowledge to identify the discourse formulated by powerinstitutions that sustain dynamics of how minority groups anddisadvantaged groups are portrayed in the media and howmainstream ideas are reproduced and strengthened through mediarepresentations.

Robert SAKAI-IRVINE
Subtitle：Journalism and the Power of the Press in JapanCredit(s)：2｜Semester：春学期授業/Spring｜ Year：Day/Period：金 5/Fri.5
他学部公開：グローバル：成績優秀：実務教員：
【Outline and objectives】This course asks you to think about and discuss the principle ofpress freedom through its expression here in Japan. Over the 14weeks of the course, you will delve into the Japanese free press’sometimes troubled history and present reality, while grapplingwith questions that go to the heart of not just journalism, butto deﬁnitions of the "public good" and the health of democraticsystems.For example: Is state control of the news media everjustiﬁed? Looking at real-world situations for context, your ownresponses to that question may surprise you.Like any goodjournalist, be curious and critical.
【Goal】Using historical and present-day case studies, you will examinewhat press freedom actually means in practice, and the differentways it can be restricted.For example, does keeping secretsand imposing penalties for reporting them count as limiting pressfreedom? You will do this by:- examining the early days of print news in Japan, and the darkdays of the descent into war;- discussing types of information control, and present-day law andattitudes to ofﬁcial secrecy;- questioning, through actual examples, whether there are anyethical limits to freedom of the press and expression;- comparing coverage of the same issues in different publications;- a formal team debate on a question related to press freedom orfreedom of speech;- and talking about how news is covered from day to day, throughclass analysis of at least one real-time news article per week (ofyour choosing).
【Which item of the diploma policy will be obtained by taking thisclass?】
【Method(s)】In ClassEach class will start with a discussion on one or two articles (chosenby you the student) from the previous week, focussing not just onthe content of the news but on how it is presented and why.We will then move on to the topic of the day, starting the classdiscussion with points from that week’s readings and treating eachas a case study, and attempt to draw conclusions about the role andresponsibility of journalism in each situation.This is a heavily discussion-based course (as is reﬂected in thegrading structure), and you will get feedback on your commentsfrom the instructor in real time. While participation is necessary,quality of contribution is more important than volume;wellthought-out ideas are appreciated, and will be acknowledged inclass.After ClassBy the end of the Monday after each class, students will post theirpersonal thoughts on the topic discussed in the course discussionforum on Hoppii, and comment on at least one other student’sreﬂections, to keep the discussion fresh and moving forward. Theinstructor will also read and comment on the students’ posts.Final Paper and PresentationThe ﬁnal project is a research paper (approx.3,000 words)plus presentation to the class on a major issue of journalism,information literacy or freedom of expression. For the presentation,the instructor will be looking at the quality of the argument, strongevidence, and the student’s ability to answer questions on theirtopic.
Other Written WorkThe instructor will provide feedback on written work in the form ofextensive comments and constructive criticism, as well as a numbergrade.*Note : This course will be conducted fully online.

Subtitle：Read Between the Lines: Ethics and Journalism inJapanCredit(s)：2｜Semester：秋学期授業/Fall｜ Year：Day/Period：金 5/Fri.5
他学部公開：グローバル：成績優秀：実務教員：
【Outline and objectives】News plays a signiﬁcant role in forming what we all think we knowabout the world. Through the lens of print news here in Japan, Thiscourse asks students to question and discuss the ethics of reporting,tackling issues including anonymous sourcing, privacy vs. publicinterest, and cozying up to information sources. Hopefully, you willnever look at news articles the same way again.NOTE: You may enroll in this course without having takenJournalism in Japan I.
【Goal】To achieve the above, you will explore the ins and outs of newsreporting by:- exploring how print news media operates in Japan, especially thebig national dailies;- learning the basics of writing articles and penning a few of yourown, from a simple crime story to a major news feature;- looking at real-world examples from both the past and more recenttimes, and discussing ethical problems and solutions for each casewith classmates and the instructor;- and choosing real-time news stories to dissect in class, asking thebasic but important questions: What happened? And is it news?
【Which item of the diploma policy will be obtained by taking thisclass?】
【Method(s)】In ClassEach class will start with a discussion on one or two articles (chosenby you the student) from the previous week, focussing not just onthe content of the news but on how it is presented and why.We will then move on to the topic of the day, starting the classdiscussion with points from that week’s readings and treating eachas a case study, and attempt to draw conclusions about what itmeans to behave as an ethical journalist, editor or publication ineach situation.This is a heavily discussion-based course (as is reﬂected in thegrading structure), and you will get feedback on your commentsfrom the instructor in real time. While participation is necessary,quality of contribution is more important than volume;wellthought-out ideas are appreciated, and will be acknowledged inclass.ArticlesThe bulk of the written work for this course is made up of threenews articles the students will have to write based on providedinformation and, for the last two, their own research. The articleswill rise in complexity from basic news report to a news featureon a major social issue. The instructor will be looking for structure,efﬁcient presentation of information, and adherence to newswritingethics such as source accreditation.Other Written WorkThe instructor will provide feedback on written work in the form ofextensive comments and constructive criticism, as well as a numbergrade (where applicable).

【Changes following student comments】I will make sure to allow time for discussion on the article writingassignments after they have been handed back, to better preparestudents for the next assignment in the series.I have also changed the topic of Class 5 to Access Journalism, tobroaden the discussion of the issue out from kisha clubs.
【Others】This is a practically focussed sister class to JiJ I: Journalism andthe Power of the Press in Japan, though it may be taken on its ownwith no problem. Some foundation material is shared with Powerof the Press, but the core focus and tasks are different.
