HAIKU
Introduction to the haiku, one of the world's great verseforms, in its original Japanese context. Debunks the notion of the haiku as a traditional form of Zen Japanese micropoetry, instead arguing that it was an "invented tradition," a late nineteenth-century Japanese response to modernization and westernization. Not open to students with credit for E ASIAN 367 prior to Fall 2018
