Instances of selfhood in The Tale of Genji and beyond
身と心の位相 ——源氏物語を起点として
The Global Japanese Studies model unit is pleased to announce the following online event centered on The Tale of Genji.
■Objectives■
Since ancient times, Japanese people have utilized two key concepts, “mi” and “kokoro,” to understand the nature of their lives. These two terms are the focal point of this roundtable, wherein we attempt to trace the trajectory of personal self-awareness from ancient to modern times as discerned in selected literary works.
