Japanese Theater

Is there a political message to Demon Pond? For example, can you see a political message in the standoff between the villagers on the one hand and Akira/Yuri/Gakuen on the other? How might it correlate with the historical situation in 1911 (rise of nationalism with the successful Sino-Japan and Russian-Japan wars, creation of the Thought Police (Links to an external site.) to suppress radical intellectuals and artists). Provide concrete examples of dialogue to support your position. Why do you think so many directors feel that the story is relevant to contemporary issues?
Consider the conflict between villagers and Akira/Yuri/Gakuen
p. 154: Kôzô:
“Friends, Friends! Let’s be sensible. Stop all this tomfoolery. A woman’s a woman. How d’ye think she takes a bath? Bah, what nonsense. Listen, like it or not, it’s the duty of any man worth his salt, if it be for his country, to stick his wife* and go off to war. That, my friend, is the spirit of our fatherland–Bushidô [Way of the Warrior], in other words. You too would be willing to lay down your life for your fellow man to save your village, ‘cuz it’s all for the state, our fatherland. Compared to that, what’s so hard about letting the missus ride an ox for the night? I’ve got an open mind, I’ll tolerate a sniveler or two, but someone with a quick temper’d take you for traitors.”
*Movie translation: “kill your wife before going off to war so as to not be distracted”
But note that the play does not simply assert the primacy of ninjo (passion) over giri (obligation): consider that the dragon princess Yuki is also dealing with a giri-ninjo conflict.

Assignment 2: Thesis-Driven Essay
900-1100 words
Foregrounded LOs: #thesis, #organization, #evidencebased, #composition, #sourcequality, #professionalism
For this assignment, you will write a well-supported, well-organized thesis-driven essay on the following prompt: “National identities are complicated because…” (This prompt should get you thinking about the specifics of how national identities are complicated; the thesis statement does not need to necessarily start out this way.)
DO:
**Make complex, quality claims **engaging with Appiah’s text and bringing in evidence from your own background.
**Use Appiah **as both a model and a text with which to interact as is appropriate.
An outline and a reverse outline, keeping in mind the principles of #organization.
Research: You should consult with at least 3 sources (at least two of which are academic).
Include an annotated bibliography (see below). Format the entire paper correctly.
Proofread and revise, revise, revise.
DO NOT:
Quote big chunks of text: paraphrase others’ arguments when possible; quote minimally.
**Collaborate with others – **this is an individual assignment. Even if there are other students from your country, your family and experiences are unique. You can discuss the project with others and ask for feedback, but you must write your own individual paper.
Start at the last minute!
ALSO:
Be sure to draw attention to your most prominent applications of LOs (especially those mentioned in the “LOs to be graded” section below) by adding footnotes.
In the footnote text (at the bottom of the page), provide the hashtag of the LO and at least a 2-3 sentence explanation of your application. Help the professor understand exactly why this constitutes a strong application.
Remember: the use of #thesis should be within the paper itself; the footnote is merely there to show how you believe you applied it well in the text. For each LO, footnote what you believe your strongest application of the LO is.
Footnote text does not count toward the target length of the assignment, and all applications of the (not just those that are footnoted) will count toward your grade.
Including footnotes is an important part of reflecting on your learning. It should be an occasion for #professionalism. Help the professor understand exactly why this constitutes a strong application. For samples of effective annotations, refer to the footnotes that go along with each LO example (in Why/Use of pre-class readings) written in square brackets.
