◆Course Outline
In this course, we will consider the modern and contemporary history of Hiroshima from the perspective of gender, from its development as a military city, through the destruction and loss of life caused by the atomic bomb, to its reconstruction as the "International City of Peace, Hiroshima". It aims to examine war and peace in Hiroshima from a variety of perspectives, focusing on the connection between representations of peace and war damage and femininity and motherhood, as well as the perpetrating aspects of Hiroshima that are obscured by this connection.
