JA 23H JAPANESE ANIME AND MANGA HONORS

3 Units - 3 hours lecture
Transfers: CSU, UC
Recommended Preparation: RD 370, ESL 301, or WR 301
This course examines, analyzes, and discusses central themes and topics in Japanese culture and society through the lens of Japanese animation (anime) and printed cartoons/graphic novels (manga). Students also look into the work of key anime and manga artists to gain an insight into the evolution of these genres and how they have impacted the development of global popular culture. This JA 23H is enriched with a guided research project to synthesize the lesson contents and apply the newly gained knowledge and skills to the analysis of an anime/manga phenomenon of student’s choice. The class is taught in English. Credit offered in JA 23 or JA 23H, but not for both. NR
