According to the article what was the message about the position of Japan in the global hierarchy as envisioned by the organizers of the exposition

Week 4 Discussion 1:

Japan Facing West Discussion Topic The article by Judith Snodgrass (“Japan Faces the West…”) describes Japan’s exhibit at the 1893 Columbian Exposition in Chicago. The exposition included exhibits from countries around the globe, and is described as intending to demonstrate a sort of evolution or hierarchy of civilizations. Discuss evidence of this ranking, as well as Japan’s response to it, in your answers to the following 2 questions. 1) According to the article, what was the message about the position of Japan in the global hierarchy as envisioned by the organizers of the exposition? Give at least one example from the article.

2) How might Japan’s exhibit at the exposition seem to challenge Western views of Japan at the time? Give specific examples from the article in your answer. Week 4 Discussion 2: The Western gaze in Japan Discussion Topic In contrast to the Snodgrass article, which showed Japan going to the West––of sending a representation of itself to an Expo in 1893, our reading from Lafcadio Hearn, circa 1894, is representative of Westerners looking at Japan in Japan.

Taking both the excerpts from Hearn and from Donald Richie as a basis, what can we say about this enterprise of foreigners putting Japan under the microscope, in a manner of speaking? The scope of possible answers is meant to be broad, and can include the early 19th century as well as contemporary times, and can include reflections on those doing the looking as well as those being examined. You may also use information from other course materials in addition to the Hearn and Richie excerpts.

Representationalism and the Transparency of Experience

Blurry Vision: In section III of his paper “Representationalism and the Transparency of Experience”, Tye considers a couple related counter examples to the basic representationalist thesis. After explaining the basic representationalist thesis, focus on explaining the objection Tye is here summarizing: “Block asks us to imagine that we are watching a movie screen that fills our whole field of vision. The images on the screen are themselves blurry and look that way. Here Block claims we have clear impressions of blurry images. In the second example, we are reading a program in the movie theater and we then look up at the screen. The images on the screen now may or may not be blurry(as far as we are aware), but we have a blurry impression of them. Block is dubious that the representationalist can capture satisfactorily the difference between having clear impressions of blurry images and blurry impressions of clear images”(Tye 2002, p. 147). After explaining the objection, explain and evaluate Tye’s response. You may rely on other parts of the relevant papers in order to complete the assignment, but do not bring in material from other sources. Include a brief introduction, but there is no need for a conclusion

Field Observation 1

Observe real people in a social/acquaintances setting and take notes about their behavior. Submit a 1-2 page journal entry that summarizes what you’ve observed and discuss your observations, using one of the theoretical frameworks in your textbooks. In other words, share your observations then explain what they mean using concepts from your course readings. The field of gender studies employs theories from many academic disciplines including communication, linguistics, psychology, and sociology, and scholars of gender studies have developed their own theories as well. Each theory provides a slightly different perspective of the whole field, but together, they give us a composite understanding of what gender is and how people deal with it. To understand why there are so many theories, think of a photographer who snaps the same image from a variety of angles. While each shot captures the same basic content, the pictures are different and reveal different ideas and ways of understanding that content. The theories discussed below are by no means the only theories used within gender studies. These are only some of the most prominent theories used. As you familiarize yourself with these theories, please keep in mind that no single theory can explain everything. Many of these theories complement each other, and some are used to understand one very specific aspect of gender identity. This lesson will focus on the four categories of gender behavior and development: Biological theories Interpersonal and psychological theories Cultural theories Critical theories

Gender inequality and how to solve it

Historical Conversations Project Prompt The HCP asks you to do four things: (1) define and describe a significant political/social/cultural problem; [[[[I already choose the gender inequality as the topic]]]]]](2) justify and frame this problem to convince your audience that the problem you’re addressing and the questions you’re asking are alive and relevant right now; (3) summarize and critically evaluate various conversations and debates made by credible scholars and organizations about your topic; and (4) use evidence from the past and present to show a contemporary issue in historical perspective. One of the main purposes of this first project is to expose you to various topics, arguments, histories, and background knowledge that will enable you engage with each other over the course of the quarter. The HCP will also require you to locate, evaluate, select, arrange, and integrate sources into a multi-modal composition (in other words, a written paper with at least two visual elements). As a genre of communication—and in the case of this assignment, one that frames a problem, delivers arguments, uses evidence, and speaks to a broad audience—a multi-modal composition can be a synthesis of various rhetorical positions that work together to deepen argumentative positions and claims. As you are putting this project together, remember: In capturing a “historical conversation,” you are not so much making an argument as documenting one. In the process, you will need to capture the historical context in which this ongoing argument is taking place. Requirements: MLA formatting (using Times New Roman, font size 12) Two “multimodal” elements (charts, graphs, photography, etc.) 6 sources (at least) that range in kind (academic, popular, governmental, etc.), purpose (argumentative, informative) In addition to meeting the requirements listed above, you will be graded on the following: In general, project demonstrates mastery of chosen topic (or “social problem”) through serious engagement with—and presentation of—a variety of sources Arguments that arise in the various sources are skillfully brought into dialogue with one another through the introduction of a few key concepts (e.g., class, mobility, opportunity, etc.) In order to facilitate such dialogue, your project should negotiate between similarities (“both authors are writing about ____,” for instance) and differences (“while X emphasizes ____, Y takes ____ to be the primary factor in growing inequality”). In this process, pay special attention to how different authors define or otherwise identify key concepts, social agency (who or what is responsible for social problems), and societal objectives. In general, it is helpful to look for two levels of disagreement: (1) descriptive disagreement (about what is the case) and (2) normative disagreement (about what ought to be the case). The project’s social problem is historicized—that is to say, it is captured in its historical specificity For example: instead of suggesting that social inequality is always a problem, your project should locate the problem of inequality (or a specific subtopic relating to inequality, such as school zoning laws) in historical terms. As we have seen in the material covered in class, this is generally traced back to the 1970s—shifts in the economy, for instance, that lead to shifts in social policy and forms of social stratification. The project navigates between the general and particular and finds a balance between the two levels In other words, key concepts such a mobility and opportunity (“the general” above) are linked up to specific instances or examples (“the particular”). Think of how Putnam’s book accomplishes this by framing his discussions in each chapter through particular stories and then moving to more general discussions of statistics, etc. Overall organization and coherence (the sources, information, and multi-modal elements gathered in the research process are thoughtfully presented in the final project) Sentence-level grammar proficiency The following content is partner provided
