| Course description |
| This course ‘Art and Literature’ belongs largely to philosophy and specially to the academic realm which is called ‘aesthetics’. Aesthetics means historically knowledge of ‘sensibility’, the capacity by which we catch someone or something and by which we are affected when we come across such others (such as specific person, social event or pattern of weather). And how this sensibility is important for us is what we examine in this class. Whatever job we take, it is essential for us to have a opinion that does not betray our own way of life and is not mere mixture of readymade (so-called) public opinion; therefore we need to pay more attention to faculty of sensitivity (I will speak why in class). Concretely taking up past literature and art movements, I want to explore some hints for having our own opinions based by sensibility with you! |
| Expected Learning |
|
I expect you to learn the followings: To tell how sensibility works and what it means on the basis of historical or modern cases and your own experience To deepen your understandings about historical art and literature movements To get some hints for you to become creator of broadly-meant art and literature (not only as professional artist but also creator in daily life) |
