~Seeing Japan from Outside~
Interactive event with Professor Toshiko Ellis
※Applications have been closed.

Let's talk about "Japan" and "Japanese language" with Professor Toshiko Ellis of the College of Arts and Sciences.
Professor Ellis is a scholar of Japanese literature and is currently spending her research sabbatical in the United States. She will give a short speech entitled, "Seeing Japan from Outside: Translation, Perception, Imagination."
Are Japanese language and Japanese literature the sole "property" of Japanese people? What happens when we look at Japanese language not as a national language (kokugo) but as a foreign language (gaikokugo)? How does it feel to read Japanese literature in English? This is a session to think about Japanese literature from a global context and reflect on notions that we often take for granted, such as "Japan," "Japanese" and "Japanese language."
After the talk by Professor Ellis, we will have a small group discussion, followed by question and answer session.
You will be able to apply for the category 4 “international activities” of the Go Global Gateway program.
