概要
Hiroshima is not merely a site memorializing its tragic experience of atomic bombing in the last century, but a vigorous city in the new century, where students from different countries can come together to study and discuss various important issues related to world peace. The need to rethink the legacy of Hiroshima has been increasing, as the current situation of the world has created serious new threats to peace. In this course, lectures will be given by eleven specialists in peace research and Japanese studies, with particular reference to issues related to: (1) Japanese culture and histroy (e.g. tradition in modern Japanese history), (2) cross-cultural misunderstandings (focusing on media and communication styles), (3) postwar Japan (e.g. Japanese pacifism and bomb memories), (4) terror and violence (e.g. political violence in the Muslim world), and (5) globalization and approaches to pease(e.g. causes of war and methods to peace).
Besides these lectures, the course will feature several special programs, including visits to the Atomic-bomb Dome and Peace Memorial Museum, participation in the Peace Memorial Ceremony (August 6th), and discussion with atomic bomb survivors.
講義のねらい
The aim of this course is to provide students with a general understanding of the nature and attributes of war and peace by illuminating various aspects of the Pacific War and the postwar society of Japan and, at the same time, to explore more contemporary issues related to world peace in the era of globalization. The course is designed primarily for second and third year undergraduate students, who are expected to gain a deeper knowledge and understanding of the importance of peace-making by participating in lectures, discussions, and featured programs.
