Course Overview |
This course explores Murasaki Shikibu’s The Tale of Genji, a lengthy and complex work of fiction that depicts the lives of aristocrats at the Heian court. We will read all fifty-four chapters of the tale and consider how it illuminates a variety of topics including authorship, gender and sexuality, narrative, intertextuality, the politics of culture, reception and translation, and the ontology of text. Students will gain a lasting familiarity with Genji—not only the eleventh-century text itself, but also its numerous transpositions into other media such as picture scrolls, wood-block prints, museum exhibits, films, and manga. Genji furthermore has a long, vibrant, international, and multilingual reception history, which we will explore by reading secondary writings from a variety of different times and places, both inside and outside the modern academy. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
