EAST 144 - Girls’ Manga and Beyond This course may also count for the major in (consult the program or department major requirements) : Gender, Sexuality, and Feminist Studies Semester Offered: First Semester Full Course Credits: 4 Credits Attribute: 4 HU, CD
This course introduces major issues concerning gender and sexuality through a survey of girls’ manga, or comics (also known as shōjo manga), in Japan. What is the significance of manga “for girls” in terms of content, producers, and readers? How does manga resist or reproduce gender/sexual norms? We will trace the beginnings of Japanese girls’ culture in the early 20th century, read canonical manga from the 1970’s, and examine more recent manga, anime, and live-action works to consider how aesthetics and tropes have shaped Japanese popular culture more broadly. Enrollment Limit: 25 Instructor: G. Ting
