AIM:
In this seminar, we have dealt with a wide
range of topics related to modernity/modernization and urbanization within the
context of contemporary Asian societies, through critical concepts and
frameworks/methodologies from cultural theories and contemporary art, sociology/architecture,
and film studies (e.g., semiotics; post-structuralist,
modernity/post-modernity; auteur theory; genre; national cinema and
transnational cinema; e.g., ruins; nostalgia; time-image; flaneur,
stranger/hood, derive; public space).
In this essay, you are expected and given
space to elaborate on and interrogate topics/themes explored in our seminar sessions
and so forth, through analyzing films used within and beyond this seminar. You could (re)use materials/arguments from
your reading journals too. Make sure that your reader could follow your lead to
clarified and well-supported argument(s); you are not supposed to explain each
and every aspect of a certain film.

Note on Plagiarism:
Plagiarism:
A writer who presents the ideas of words of another as if they were the
writer’s own (that is, without proper citation) commits plagiarism. Plagiarism
is not tolerable in this course or at Nagoya University. You should avoid
making quotes or drawing on figures from nowhere—you must provide sources of
reference for quotation and/or citations you use in the paper. This applies to
images and media clips as well. Failure to observe this would risk being
charged of plagiarism. In this University, plagiarism is a disciplinary
offence. Any student who commits the offence is liable to disciplinary action.
