「国際総合日本学教育プログラム」（大学院レベル）

海外での「他者研究としての日本研究」と東京大学と日本における「自己研究としての日本研究」の交差・融合をめざす国際総合日本学（GJS）ネットワークは、研究と教育との二つの柱からなっています。研究者ネットワークの形成と研究情報の発信を行っていると共に、日本の政治・経済・文化・社会を理解するために必要となる知識を様々な学部が提供しています。このたび、GJSの研究と教育の一体化を目指し、大学院情報学環アジア情報社会コースでITASIA139として開講することになりました。GJSの定期的な講演会をベースにした、学内と学外の優れた学者による、1ターム（10週間）の授業です。

Course Title： ITASIA 139 “Intellectual Giants” in UTokyo: Critical Evaluation of Their Accomplishments in Contemporary Contexts

Instructors: Profs. Masaki Nakabayashi, Wolfgang Schwentker, Katsuo Nawa, Shigeto Sonoda.

Introduction：This graduate course is the first series of lectures that critically examine and evaluate the history of major intellectuals and scholars of or associated with the University of Tokyo in the modern period. By examining various intellectual legacies of one of the most important research and education institutions in Japan and the world, this course aims to generate critical understanding of modern knowledge production and circulation in relation to social change and cultural formation in Japan. By so doing, potential contribution of Japanese scholarship to the understanding of contemporary (global) issues will be explored.

Every year, a specific theme or period or a group of prominent intellectual figures will be identified for focused study and discussion, and scholars working on that specific topic are invited from within or outside of Japan to lecture and lead classroom discussions. For 2018, the lectures will focus on the question of “the social” and address the issues of how (Japanese) society has been understood by scholars of the University of Tokyo and what social implications their understanding has generated. We arranged six lectures by three sociologists and one anthropologist to approach this set of questions.
