Class Objectives /Class Outline |
The island of Hawai’i is situated in contested cultural space between American, Hawaiian, and Japanese memories (among others). Basic Anthropological concepts can help us untangle the difficult cultural terrain of Hawai’I and its memorial sites. Pushing against the marketing of Hawai’i as a multicultural and ecological paradise, this course considers relationships between the Hawaiian Kingdom and Japan; Japanese immigration to Hawai’i during the plantation era; U.S. occupation of Hawai’i past and present; the establishment and bombing of Pearl Harbor; U.S. incarceration of Japanese-Americans; and Nisei military service in World War II. We consider how these complicated histories inform memorial and visual culture in Hawai’i today, from Nisei veterans’ memorials to tourism, U.S. military occupation, and the Hawaiian sovereignty movement. ・Using the lens of basic cultural anthropology, be able to introduce others to key issues from Hawaiian, Japanese and Japanese-American history and experiences in Hawai’i. ▪ Identify multiple influences on memorial culture in Hawai’i through the lens of Japanese or Japan-related experiences there. Use concepts from basic cultural anthropology to describe perspectives on, and critiques of, Hawaiian “multiculturalism,” tourism, and ecological development. ▪ Synthesize the above to provide your own scholarly and analytic approach to memorial sites in Hawai’i |
