Visualizing Cultures
Image-Driven Scholarship
Visualizing Cultures compiles high-resolution digitized visual images from China and Japan including photos, woodblock prints, and paintings from the 18th to 19th centuries. A curriculum offers a full complement of standards-compliant lessons, providing a pathway for teachers and students to become active historians and knowledgeable readers of images. A related course, “Visualizing Japan (1850s-1930s): Westernization, Protest, Modernity,” explores Japan's transition into the modern world through the historical visual record.
