Course Overview

In this course, we will examine how racial slavery has been understood in the development of early American history from multiple perspectives. As is well known, a system of slavery that brutally exploited Africans as a labor force was introduced into the Americas from the sixteenth century onward, but the British North American colonies after the late seventeenth century were distinctive in that this system was transformed into “racial slavery.” How did the practice of marking off particular groups under the category of “race” and transmitting enslaved status hereditarily become established and institutionalized? How did it shape economic activity and social order in the British North American colonies, and in what ways did it orient the formation of the United States that would later emerge? In this course, we will explore these questions with reference to recent debates in the scholarly literature.

Numbering Code: LET-HUM2586J Course Code: 2026 FallTerm weekly Mon3 Ito Classroom E/J科目 (日本語, English)

Course Overview

Ernest Hemingway is one of the defining authors of the twentieth century and a central figure in American modernist literature. He is known for many works, including The Sun Also Rises, A Farewell to Arms, For Whom the Bell Tolls, and The Old Man and the Sea, yet the view that his finest achievements lie in his early short fiction is widely shared among scholars. In this seminar, offered as separate courses in the first and second semesters, students will engage with Hemingway's short stories written primarily in the 1920s—including "Indian Camp" and "Big Two-Hearted River"—and undertake close readings of these masterpieces of American prose, crafted with consummate skill by the young Hemingway. The course has two main objectives. The first is to read the works with rigorous attention to detail and to discuss in class what issues have been at stake in the critical history surrounding them and what new interpretations might be possible. Through this process, students will learn the importance of close reading not only in relation to Hemingway but to literary works more broadly. The second objective is to translate selected passages from the works and discuss as a group what constitutes an appropriate rendering in Japanese. Through this translation work, students will pursue a deeper understanding of the texts while also gaining an introduction to translation studies, a field that has increasingly established itself as an independent area of scholarly inquiry in recent years.

The intellectual history of the Song and Ming periods developed through the complex interweaving of Zhu Xi learning (Lixue, the Learning of Principle) and the Lu–Wang school (Xinxue, the Learning of the Mind). The relationship between these two traditions has been debated in various ways since the Ming dynasty under the rubrics of the “Zhu–Lu Debate” and “Zhu–Lu Discourse.” In this seminar, we will closely read primary sources related to the Zhu–Lu Debate in order to examine how the relationship between Zhu Xi learning (Lixue) and the Lu–Wang school (Xinxue) has been historically understood, thereby deepening our comprehension of Song–Ming intellectual history.

Course Overview

This semester, we will give a lesson on the construction of "Clan Archive Studies" in the field of the Hirado Domain in the early modern period. Hirado was an international trading port where Christianity was quickly propagated and the Dutch and English factories existed in the early modern period. Since the establishment of the so-called "鎖国(Sakoku)", the whaling industry and the development of agricultural land led by the clan have risen. On the cultural side, a ceramic industry centered on the "三河内（Mikawachi）" area also took place, and a tea ceremony called "鎮信流（Chin-Shin-Ryu）" was also developed. Furthermore, from the middle of the 18th century to the end of the Edo period, literary daimyo such as "松浦静山(Matsura Seizan)" and "松浦熈(Matsura Hirom)" appeared. The existence of such daimyo has led to the creation of long daimyo essays such as "平戸藩楽歳堂文庫(Hirado-han Rakusaido-Bunko)", "甲子夜話(Kasshi Yawa)" (Volume 278), and "亀岡随筆(Kameoka Zuihitsu)" (Volume 80), which are characteristic of foreign book collections.In addition, "楠本端山(Kusumoto Tanzan)", a scholar of the Hirado Domain, collected a huge amount of Chinese books with his younger brother, "碩水(Sekisui)". Currently, Kyushu University holds a large number of documents and Chinese books that have been handed down to the "楠本（Kusumoto)" family. Against the background of the above history, various documents created and managed in the Hirado domain are included in the "Clan Archive". On top of that, (1) quantitative grasp of the recorded materials that make up the domain archive, (2) extraction of record recognition of the recording subject (lord, domain scholar, scholar, townsman, fisherman, etc.), (3) characteristics of archives in the Hirado domain Aim to elucidate.

Course Overview

This course reads the recent French book Qu'est-ce que la philosophie indienne ? by Vincent Eltschinger and Isabelle Ratié. Students will use a Japanese translation prepared by the instructor, so knowledge of French is not required. The class explores major debates in Indian philosophy—such as the self, consciousness, knowledge, language, and God—through close reading and discussion. The pace will be slow because the course focuses on the actual philosophical arguments rather than a general historical overview. Students will submit a short written response at the end of each class, and the course will also consider how AI tools can be used in the study of Indian philosophy and Sanskrit sources.
