The Department of Cultural Interaction Studies seeks to further broaden the scope of Sophia University’s founding goal of “contributing to the exchange of Eastern and Western cultures,” by looking into the history of cultural interaction and seeking the phases of how new cultures form.
With the advance of globalization, there is an increasing need to look at contact and negotiation among multiple cultures from a broader perspective. At the same time, there is a need to deepen research from a broader perspective in the worlds of literary studies and journalism. Furthermore, there is a need to reconsider the significance of translation as an essential means of cross-cultural negotiation.
Curriculum
We aim to examine the various cultural negotiations surrounding literature beyond the conventional framework and to capture the dynamic nature of cultural negotiations and contact between different cultures. To achieve this goal, we will examine the reality of cross-cultural negotiations from all angles and focus on exploring the elements necessary for a new culture to emerge.
In addition, the Program in Cultural Interaction will link the areas of each department already in the Graduate School of Humanities under the academic pillar of “Cultural Interaction”. We will proactively collaborate with other programs in the Graduate School of Humanities to promote a more pluralistic understanding of culture.
