History of European Foreign Relations
A globalized world and Europe
After Columbus's voyages at the end of the 15th century, Europe set out on the world stage. This eventually paved the way for the Atlantic slave trade and promoted global integration. Moreover, through interactions with different people encountered in various places, they also formed a racial perspective that places themselves at the top. It offers a macro and dynamic perspective on a dynamic and dynamic history that connects to the archetypes of the modern world.

Contemporary European Social Theory
What is happening in modern Europe?
Usually, 'modern' is considered to begin after the war. The separating world before and after the war is, of course, World War II. However, as seen in the conflicts between Russia and Ukraine and Israel and Palestine, the postwar order is being greatly shaken. Taking this current situation into account, we will consider the events in European society.

French history
Exploring appearances different from the image
When you think of France, do you think of revolutions that advocated freedom and equality? In this course, we will take a comprehensive look at French history since the Revolution, focusing on 'gender' and 'religion.' These elements are aspects that are hard to see from the surface political shifts, but by focusing on them, we can grasp clues about today's French society.

French-speaking culture and society
Seeing a Diverse World Through French
Until the 1960s, France had vast colonies. There are regions like Africa, where French influence remains even after independence, while in the maritime world, there are regions that are not truly independent. We broadly view these regions related to France as the 'Francophone world,' unraveling our relationship with France while examining the unique cultures and societies of each region.

Cross-border culture theory
An artist's journey set in Venice, a strategic Mediterranean hub
Throughout history, artists have tended to love traveling. One reason was the desire for an environment where free ideas could spark, but in an era when access to information was limited, visiting culturally advanced areas was the only opportunity to learn about new artistic trends. The class focuses on the maritime city of Venice, examining how the active travels of artists have nurtured its unique art traditions.

German-speaking art
Deciphering Art Within a Cultural Context
What comes to mind when you hear Germany's Eisenach or Wartburg Castle? It involves Germany's leading composers such as Bach and Wagner, as well as the Reformer Luther, and it serves as the source for various artistic works. By studying the arts cross-sectionally, focusing on German-speaking music, you can develop a perspective that captures the dynamism of culture.

French art
Considering 'Classic' and 'Modernity' from 19th-Century French Art
Amid changes brought about by civil revolutions and the Industrial Revolution in 19th-century Europe, where civil society was forming, the nature of art also underwent significant changes. Focusing on artworks situated during this period of transformation, we will examine the characteristics of visual expression while examining historical contexts and ideological backgrounds, and learn multifaceted perspectives on art and perspectives.

European Myths and Legends
Rethinking the European Worldview from Myths and Legends
We will take an overview of several European myths and legends (including folklore), and pay attention to common elements, differences, and the backgrounds of inheritance. From there, the activities of those involved will emerge. You'll encounter a side view of European mythology, different from the worlds you're used to in games or anime.
