{"ModuleCode":"GEM1046","ModuleTitle":"Home","Department":"Japanese Studies","ModuleDescription":"Few words in the English language (or any language) are as evocative and emotionally-charged as “home.” But how do we determine what we call home, and why should we take “home” seriously? This module explores the political, social, economic, and cultural aspects of the complex idea of home. Major topics include: sense of place, home technologies and design, gender and housework, home and travel, globalisation, nationalism, homelessness, exile, and representations of home. Students will complete the module with a new appreciation for the complexity of the places – house, neighborhood, nation, planet – they call home.","ModuleCredit":"4","Workload":"2-1-0-2-5","ExamDuration":"P2H","ExamVenue":"MPSH5","Types":["GEM"],"CorsBiddingStats":[{"AcadYear":"2014/2015","Semester":"2","Round":"2A","Group":"Lecture 1","Quota":"100","Bidders":"85","LowestBid":"1","LowestSuccessfulBid":"1","HighestBid":"2000","Faculty":"Arts & Social Sciences","StudentAcctType":"NUS Students [G]"},{"AcadYear":"2014/2015","Semester":"2","Round":"2B","Group":"Lecture 1","Quota":"15","Bidders":"19","LowestBid":"13","LowestSuccessfulBid":"322","HighestBid":"1099","Faculty":"Arts & Social Sciences","StudentAcctType":"NUS Students [G]"},{"AcadYear":"2014/2015","Semester":"2","Round":"3A","Group":"Lecture 1","Quota":"5","Bidders":"11","LowestBid":"1","LowestSuccessfulBid":"750","HighestBid":"839","Faculty":"Arts & Social Sciences","StudentAcctType":"NUS Students [G]"},{"AcadYear":"2014/2015","Semester":"2","Round":"3B","Group":"Lecture 1","Quota":"4","Bidders":"8","LowestBid":"104","LowestSuccessfulBid":"939","HighestBid":"1979","Faculty":"Arts & Social Sciences","StudentAcctType":"NUS Students [G]"}],"AcadYear":"2014/2015","History":[{"Semester":2,"ExamDate":"2015-05-07T13:00+0800","Timetable":[{"ClassNo":"1","LessonType":"Lecture","WeekText":"Every Week","DayText":"Tuesday","StartTime":"1200","EndTime":"1400","Venue":"UTSRC-LT52"},{"ClassNo":"D1","LessonType":"Tutorial","WeekText":"Odd Week","DayText":"Wednesday","StartTime":"1000","EndTime":"1200","Venue":"UTSRC-SR8"},{"ClassNo":"D2","LessonType":"Tutorial","WeekText":"Odd Week","DayText":"Wednesday","StartTime":"1200","EndTime":"1400","Venue":"UTSRC-SR2"},{"ClassNo":"D3","LessonType":"Tutorial","WeekText":"Odd Week","DayText":"Wednesday","StartTime":"1400","EndTime":"1600","Venue":"UTSRC-SR2"},{"ClassNo":"E1","LessonType":"Tutorial","WeekText":"Even Week","DayText":"Wednesday","StartTime":"1200","EndTime":"1400","Venue":"TP-SR2"},{"ClassNo":"E2","LessonType":"Tutorial","WeekText":"Even Week","DayText":"Wednesday","StartTime":"1400","EndTime":"1600","Venue":"UTSRC-SR2"}],"IVLE":[{"Announcements":null,"Forums":[],"Workbins":[],"Webcasts":[],"Gradebooks":[],"Polls":[],"Multimedia":[],"LessonPlan":[],"ID":"7cf77f00-de49-4c8d-acc6-2dc5bc733d6b","CourseLevel":"1","CourseCode":"GEM1046","CourseName":"HOME","CourseDepartment":"","CourseSemester":"Semester 2","CourseAcadYear":"2014/2015","CourseOpenDate":"/Date(1411747200000+0800)/","CourseOpenDate_js":"2014-09-27T00:00:00","CourseCloseDate":"/Date(1431187140000+0800)/","CourseCloseDate_js":"2015-05-09T23:59:00","CourseMC":"0","isActive":"N","Permission":"S","Creator":{"UserID":null,"Name":"Chris McMorran","Email":null,"Title":null,"UserGuid":"4347e671-d2e1-4641-bf71-336b5a0606a2","AccountType":null},"hasGradebookItems":true,"hasTimetableItems":true,"hasGroupsItems":false,"hasClassGroupsForSignUp":false,"hasGuestRosterItems":false,"hasClassRosterItems":true,"hasWeblinkItems":false,"hasLecturerItems":true,"hasDescriptionItems":true,"hasReadingItems":false,"hasAnnouncementItems":false,"hasProjectGroupItems":false,"hasProjectGroupsForSignUp":false,"hasConsultationItems":false,"hasConsultationSlotsForSignUp":false,"hasLessonPlanItems":false,"Badge":0,"BadgeAnnouncement":0,"WebLinks":[],"Lecturers":[{"ID":"b2cee355-2cf5-4842-9221-171de1934b10","User":{"UserID":null,"Name":"Chris McMorran","Email":null,"Title":null,"UserGuid":"4347e671-d2e1-4641-bf71-336b5a0606a2","AccountType":null},"Role":"Lecturer ","Order":1,"ConsultHrs":null},{"ID":"a2b121b9-51cd-4391-ab6b-f3777c33f51f","User":{"UserID":null,"Name":"HE TINGSHAN","Email":null,"Title":null,"UserGuid":"c867c566-b2a8-42c5-9801-004f05806f27","AccountType":null},"Role":"Teaching Assistant ","Order":3,"ConsultHrs":null},{"ID":"25803a6e-30ad-4ff9-bda2-b05798a8149f","User":{"UserID":null,"Name":"Thang Leng Leng","Email":null,"Title":null,"UserGuid":"ab4041a7-92b1-4b10-8a99-75efe4391d63","AccountType":null},"Role":"Visiting Professor ","Order":4,"ConsultHrs":null}],"Descriptions":[{"ID":"1e5f053b-8835-4692-be49-41f07234cfff","Title":"Learning Outcomes","Description":"Few words in the English language (or any language) are as evocative and emotionally-charged as “home.” But how do we determine what we call home, and why should we take “home” seriously?
