Abstract
In recent years, along with the strengthening of friendship and international cooperation between Vietnam and Japan, many novels and short stories from Japanese literature have been translated and introduced to Vietnam, and well received by Vietnamese readers. In addition, Japanese cinema has gradually conquered Vietnamese audiences, through film festivals, the recognition that comes with earning international awards, as well as official screenings at domestic cinemas. The use of films adapted from Japanese literature to further promote the reception of literature among young people is also recognized as a new trend of the times. To better reflect these current trends and and promote the development of the aesthetic sense of youth in general and students at the Faculty of Literature of the Ho Chi Minh City University of Education in particular, we have developed several new subjects: The Relationship between Literature and Cinema (Master's Program in Foreign Literature 2016 - 2024), Foreign Literature and Cinema (Master's Program in Foreign Literature 2024 - 2026), while also having organized many seminars on literature - cinema, as well as introducing adaptations from Japanese literature and cinema into subjects such as Eastern Literature 1 - 2, Eastern Literature Topics, History of Eastern Thought, etc. Through the subjects and teaching activities, we have exposed students and Master's students to subject matter related to Japanese aesthetics, including concepts such as wabi (侘), sabi (寂), yugen (幽玄), etc.; Japanese identity expressed through literature and cinema as well as a variety of other content. This article summarizes the method of aesthetic education utilized in teaching Japanese literature and cinema at the Faculty of Literature, Ho Chi Minh City University of Education, while also emphasizing the importance of aesthetic education and proposing new approaches to aesthetic education for university students.
